age professionals at Gebroe- Hammer Associates . In a recent two-week timeframe, the Livingston-based broker- age firm arranged three sepa- rate apartment building sales in the county, which accounts for approximately 10% of New Jersey’s overall population. “Bergen County is a unique multi-family investment mar- ket. Even though it is one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, it lacks its own major city,” said Greg Pine , executive vice president. “However, its direct connection to Manhattan, via the George Washington Bridge, and its ro- bust and growing demographic render Bergen County a ‘sub- urban extension’ of Manhattan favored by an affluent tenant base and eager investors.” The brokerage team of Pine and Debbie Pomerantz , vice president, represented the seller, 221 Union Street LLC, and identified the buyer, an unnamed private investor, in the $2.075 million trade of 14 units at Carolynn Terrace Apartments in Lodi. Located at 221-227 Union St., near Route 4 and the Garden State Parkway, the two-building garden-apartment commu- nity includes 10 one- and 4 two-bedroom units that have recently been renovated. The Pine/Pomerantz team also arranged the $1.725 mil- lion sale of a 21-unit/one-house package at 197 Lafayette Ave. and 228 Third St., respectively, in Englewood. Gebroe-Ham- mer represented the seller, 197 LLC, and procured the buyer, 197 Lafayette LLC. The three-story building features studio and one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. “This particular property and its diverse unit mix rep- resent a value-add opportunity for the new buyer thanks to its strategic location near shop- ping, schools and mass tran- sit,” said Pomerantz, the firm’s Bergen/Passaic County market specialist.
