named buyer for the third prop- erty at 157 Elmwood Avenue in Irvington. “While there may be a shift in the economy on certain fronts, there is one thing that is cer- tain: the multifamily sector continues to see more stability than other real estate sectors,” said Ken Uranowitz , presi- dent. “The stars remain aligned for multifamily. The hybrid work schedule now seems to be a more permanent form of employment, interest rates and inflation are contributing to a more precarious environment for would-be first-time home - buyers and the trend is stronger than ever where people want to live in more population-dense areas that provide immediate- neighborhood indoor and out- door conveniences.” In fact, according to Moody’s Q3 2022 Preliminary Trend Announcement, the national vacancy rate for multifamily properties hit a new five-year low at 4.4% at the end of the

submarkets that have been the focus of years-long master-plan redevelopment initiatives. As a result, market fundamen- tals are being enhanced and – in turn – spurring continued heavy demand for product. “In many of New Jersey’s urban cities, revitalization is in full swing while in others it continues to take shape,” said executive managing director David Oropeza . “All signs are pointing toward future growth and demand, yielding great optimism for what the future holds for each of these submarkets – the majority of which are leveraging their excellent transit connectivity and highway infrastructure to reinvent themselves.” Other New Jersey markets in which Gebroe-Hammer’s Q3 multifamily sales have been concentrated include Bergen, Essex, Ocean and Mercer counties. Among these were three separate classic garden- continued on page 22A indicative of Fort Lee’s re- surgence coming out of the pandemic,” said CBRE’s Stu - art MacKenzie. “We expect this trend to continue given Fort Lee’s proximity to New York City while also provid- ing convenient accessibility to the greater region.” Dunne added, “Skylight and PCCP will bring Hud- son Lights to the next level with expanded and upgraded amenities plus the addition of small upgrades in the units.” Located at the entrance of the George Washington Bridge along New Jersey’s Gold Coast, Hudson Lights offers seamless access to Midtown Manhattan in un- der 20 minutes as well as the greater Metro New York area.

quarter. “This is proof-positive that the sector is a bright spot in the overall commercial real estate landscape, with vacancy rates in many New Jersey and Philadelphia MSA submarkets being even lower,” added Uranowitz. “Gebroe- Hammer’s closed deals and pipeline of activity along the New Jersey-Greater Phila- delphia MSA-New York State corridor support this level of positivity for multifamily.” In the third quarter, North- ern and Central New Jersey deals offered evidence of the re- gion’s continued stability as an active investment market. Ac- cording to the brokerage profes- sionals at Gebroe-Hammer, it also speaks to the revitalization efforts in core urban transit- oriented locations as well as the desirability of Bergen, Hudson, Ocean and Mercer counties. Throughout the state, the firm is seeing a wave of gut-ren - ovated, new-construction and repositioned asset deliveries to
