LAINFIELD, NJ — In the city-on-the-rise of Plainfield, Gebroe- Hammer Associates has arranged two separate mul- tifamily transactions total- ing 97 units that sold for a combined $15.23M. The sales of Stoney Brook Gardens at 643-715 E. Front St., and Executive Arms Apartments at 309-315 W. 8th St., were spearheaded by executive vice president Stephen Tra- gash , a Union Countymarket specialist. “Plainfield has launched an aggressive redevelopment plan focusing on leveraging the medical and performing arts while adding to its exist- ing housing stock in order to attract millennials and fami- lies,” said Tragash. “The city’s solid urban core, vibrancy and strong existing infrastructure are what attracted each of the buyers, both of whom recog- nize the untapped value-add and repositioning potential at these existing properties.” The largest of the two trades involved the $12M sale of Stoney Brook Gardens along the city’s main East Front Street corridor. Built in 1961, the classic garden-apartment complex features 70 units, all of which are 1,033 s/f 2BR/1 Bath layouts. In addition to the convenience of front-door NJ Transit Bus service to and from Port Authority Bus Ter- minal in Midtown Manhat- tan, Stoney Brook Gardens is within walking distance to a supermarket, banks, houses of worship, schools and din- ing. Plainfield Station and Netherwood Station, offering NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line rail service to New York City, are approximately one mile away. Tragash represented the seller of Stoney Brook Gar- dens, Stoney Brook Associates LLC, and identified the buyer, a private unnamed investor. In the $3.23M trade of Ex- ecutive Arms, Tragash also represented the seller, 315 West 8 LLC, and Niko Nico- laou , executive vice presi- dent, procured the buyer, a private unnamed investor. Situated between Madison and Central avenues, Execu- tive Arms consists of 27 units, all of which are 950 s/f stu- dios. Each features hardwood flooring, controlled access, full baths and kitchenettes with oak cabinetry, refrigerator
