the needs of local Montville- area businesses, including plumbers, electricians, and other service-oriented en- terprises seeking a smaller generally unavailable space in the current market. Nick Minoia’s passion for Montville goes beyond busi- ness. As a resident, he is deep- ly invested in the township’s well-being and is dedicated to ensuring its smart growth; Diversified Properties is not only robust but is also envi- ronmentally conscious. They have a vision for cutting-edge development that emphasizes energy efficiency and sustain - ability which ensures that these properties will stand the test of time. In Diversified Properties’ acquisition several years ago for the five-building industrial complex on Mars Court, one of the key challenges identi- fied after his purchase was the shortage of parking facili- ties for neighboring Pyramid Mountain Park visitors. In response, Diversified Prop - erties, under Nick Minoia’s leadership, arranged a heavily discounted sale of six acres of land adjacent to the park to the Morris County Park system. This land sale will address the park’s need for additional parking and add to Montville’s open space as

an expansion of the Morris County Park system. Minoia’s commitment to re- sponsible growth and commu- nity enhancement is evident in both his business ventures and philanthropic efforts. Speaking about the recent acquisitions and prior land sale, Minoia emphasized his dedication to Montville’s holistic develop- ment. In a statement on CRE TV, Minoia expressed his on- going affinity for Montville and his dedication to creating developments that contribute positively to the community. “Montville is not just where I work; it’s my home. I continue to be committed to responsible smart growth that enhances the township’s character and pro- vides sustainable solutions for the future. Both of these recent acquisitions are a testament to that commitment,” he said. As Nick Minoia continues to shape Montville’s land- scape, his latest acquisitions mark another milestone in his mission to create lasting and impactful developments in Montville and the other markets served by Diversified. With a keen focus on respon- sible growth, innovation, and sustainability, Diversified Properties, under Minoia’s leadership, remains at the forefront of shaping Mont- ville’s future. MAREJ
