Matthew Rosenberg , first vice president capital markets, and Jim Wolfe , associate, of Marcus &Millichap’s Philadel- phia office, led the refinance. “Financing for SFR portfo- lios in the Greater Philadel- phia Area has increased over the last 12 months with many different capital outlets,” said Wolfe and Rosenberg. “In order to get to the high-leveraged 80% LTV for the cash-out refinance, the fixed rate was priced over LIBOR requiring only interest payments.

HORT HILLS, NJ — Hollister continues to collaborate closely with The Blau & Berg Company , a full-service commercial real estate bro- kerage firm, serving as gen- eral contractor on the de- livery of multiple projects within 830 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills. Our team recently turned over proj- ects on the third floor—for a large medical practice and a financial institution. As one of the largest and oldest physician-owned mul- tispecialty medical practices in New Jersey, Summit Med- ical Group recently debuted their new medical center within the 3-story building.

(SKAPC) , of NYC, recently completed the final phases of a four-year, multi-faceted renovation of a 30-story cooperative on New Jersey’s Gold Coast. The proj- ect transformed Apogee in Cliffside Park into an ultra- modern high-rise featuring a dramatic entranceway, revi- talized lobby and resort-style amenities. Built in 1972 and perched atop a hill at 250 Gorge St., the property has panoramic views of the Man- hattan skyline and Hudson River waterfront. The repositioning of the former Briarcliff co-op began in 2014, when the Board of Directors hired SKAPC to re- brand the 315-unit residential complex. “We were looking for a highly regarded architect/de- signer with New York sophis- tication,” said Jerry Sher, who served as president of Apogee’s Board at the time. “The strat- egy was to find someone who could give the building a new lease on life, bring it into the 21st century in terms of look, technology and functionality, and ultimately raise property values. Steven and his team fit the bill perfectly.” StevenKratchman, SKAPC’s owner and founder, recognized that “the property needed up- scale aesthetics and a stylistic Manhattan feel to compete

with the area’s newer luxury properties.” His firm served as master planner, architect and designer of the project, using a comprehensive design strat- egy focused on exterior curb appeal and interior amenities to enhance the resident experi- ence and increase shareholder value. K r a t c hma n l a u n c h e d SKAPC in 1999 with the goal of breathing new life into un- derused and overlooked prop- erties. Recalling his initial visit to the property, he said, “It was dated and needed a complete overhaul. A forebod- ing concrete barrel-vaulted canopy projected from the building’s entry and spanned the drive. The lobby, which ap- peared to be abandoned, had mirrored ceilings, black clad walls and outdated furniture pushed back on all sides.” On the plus side, the lobby featured a large expanse of terrazzo flooring and was three stories high in the center and two stories high on either side. “In residential real estate development in the New York City area, it is rare to see this proportion of usable floor area allocated to open space rather than to apartment units,” Kratchman noted. In addi- tion, considerable attention to detail was evident in the seasonal outdoor plantings and flowers. The SKAPC t eam ap -
proached the project from a master plan point of view. They positioned the building’s three-story lobby as the proj- ect’s centerpiece, but also took into account the entire front- age, the building beyond the lobby, the amenities, and site- specific features of igneous rock cliff and sloping contours. “Placing the lobby in this broader context allowed us to develop a comprehensive design plan centered on creat- ing an eye-catching entrance- way and inviting interior,” Kratchman said. “We also considered inventive ways to refresh existing elements to minimize cost and maximize sustainability.” SKAPC replaced the existing canopy with a distinctive glass, metal and wood marquis, and added exterior enhancements that included a new driveway highlighted by modern pav- ers and updated landscaping. Inside the building’s oversized revolving door, the lobby’s terrazzo floor was seamlessly integrated with new features like custom furniture scaled to fit the expansive space and a re- designed front desk, relocated to serve as a centerpiece and increase concierge visibility. Introducing a large, two-sided fireplace as a divider and seat- ing and gathering arrange- ments in warm, vibrant-colored materials created a sense of intimacy.
