The Belgrove Drive prop- erties are two 20-unit brick buildings. The Grant Av- enue property is a 16-unit brick building. The Stuyves- ant property is a mixed-use building with five residential units and one retail space. The Maple Street property consists of four large one- and two-bedroom units with full kitchens. Three of the properties are within walking distance of each other and less than a mile from the PATH and Newark-Broad Street New Jersey Transit. The price per unit was $165,379, offering significant upside potential to the purchaser who already implemented his management company’s systems and will renovate any vacant apart- ments to increase rents to market price. The portfolio’s Kearny neigh- borhood is in the midst of a dramatic shift fromwarehous- ing and industrial properties

to major mixed-use redevelop- ments. Many older buildings are being renovated or re- placed with multifamily prop- erties situated among a variety of national and local retailers. Kearny is trending to join the Gold Coast with neighbors Jer- sey City, Hoboken, Harrison, Weehawken and Guttenberg and Edgewater. Scott Davidovic joined Kis- lak in 2006 and specializes in the sale of multifamily properties with a focus on land and development throughout northern New Jersey. After his first year with Kislak, he received the firm’s Rookie of the Year award, and he also re- ceived the firm’s Sima Kislak Jelin Salesperson of the Year award in 2014. Davidovic’s investment sales total more than $300 million. Michael Kossak joined the firm in 2016 and special- izes in the sale of investment properties in northern New Jersey. MAREJ

time relationships to complete the sale. Davidovic said, “This sale, handled completely off market in competition with other bro- kers, shows the strength of our clients who are consistently paying top dollar and are strong closers. The purchaser completed his due diligence pre-contract with minimal contingencies, which we en- courage when appropriate, demonstrating professional-

ism not only to be awarded a deal but to close as well.” Kossak added, “These are the exact types of properties clients are aggressively look- ing to purchase, and the area is drawing new renters who may need to commute to New York City as nearby public transportation is easily acces- sible. Several new residential developments have also been completed or are underway in the area.”

HREV expects to complete construction in the fourth quarter of 2023. “The West Side of Jersey City has seen unprecedented transformation in a posi- tive way over the last eight years,” Mayor Fulop said at the groundbreaking. “We’ve seen significant investment in NJCU, in the Bayfront, and

49 Fisk St. is another step in that journey.
