EAST ORANGE, NJ — In one of Northern New Jersey’s most rapidly transforming ur- ban transit hubs, Gebroe- Hammer Associates has ar- ranged the $12 million sale of a four-building East Orange multi-family portfolio. Manag- ing director David Oropeza represented the seller and pro- cured the buyer in the trade en- compassing 264 units. The prop- erties are located at 24 South Grove, 25 North and 235 South Harrison and 107 New streets throughout the city, where com- muter options abound. “East Orange’s greatest assets are its mass transit links, which have drawn copi- ous private investment that is the on-going stimulus for revitalization initiatives as well as the introduction of mil- lennials into the tenant-base demographic,” said Oropeza. “As a result, East Orange’s population renting percentage continues to climb and exceed the state average.” At the core of East Orange’s extensive mass transit net- work is the Brick Church Station, along NJ Transit’s Hudson-Essex Line.

Today, it is the busiest of the city’s three stations with 103 trains pass- ing through, of which 19 are during peak hours and record an average weekday board of about 1,610.
