ongevity in commercial real estate is measured not simply in years, but in cycles navigated, assets repo- sitioned, and markets shaped. For more than five decades, Weiss Realty Co. Inc. has es - tablished itself as a steady presence in the Mid-Atlantic region, guided by a philosophy centered on disciplined broker- age, strategic investment, and long-term value creation. Weiss Realty, headquartered in Moonachie, NJ, has main- tained a stellar reputation and leader in the commercial office and industrial real estate for over 50 years. MAREJ Headquartered in Moon- achie, NJ, the privately owned, full-service real estate invest- ment firm specializes in the ac - quisition, leasing, development, For leasing inquiries, please contact Conor Mul- lady at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), Chicago.

a family-owned and operated business with a portfolio ex- ceeding one million square feet, Weiss Realty’s transac - tion volume has surpassed $1 billion, reflecting both scale and consistency across multiple markets. The firm’s transaction his - tory closely parallels the evolu- tion of Northern NJ ’s commercial landscape.

nizations such as Russo Devel - opment, The Mack Company, Scholastic, Sony, Pepsi Cola, North Fork Bank, Escada, and Pirelli Tire underscored Weiss Realty’s breadth of experience. Among its noteworthy mile- stones, Weiss Realty acquired and continues to oversee Co - lonial Village Office Park and Shopping Center in Edison, NJ. Now comprising approxi- mately 80,000 s/f, Colonial Vil - lage stands as a rare example of long-term stability within a dynamic medical, retail, and office market. For the first time in nearly 30 years, the
This emphasis on durable, needs-based assets extends across the firm’s broader port - folio. In 2017, Weiss Realty acquired a three-story, 50,000 s/f building in Neptune, NJ, recognizing the area’s growth potential. Since the acquisition, the firm has repositioned the property into a high-quality medical and professional of- fice destination, now home to tenants including Hackensack Meridian Health, the State of New Jersey, and Rutgers Uni - versity. The property under- scores Weiss Realty’s continued focus on medical and profes- sional environments, a strategy aligned with the demographic and economic forces reshaping suburban markets. Weiss Realty’s investment strategy extends beyond tra- ditional asset classes in New Jersey. The firm led the acquisi - tion and redevelopment of the 138-acre Bridgestone/Firestone manufacturing facility in De- catur, Illinois, a site recently selected for Illinois’ Acceler- ated Site Assessment Program (ASAP), enhancing its readi - ness for power-intensive users focused on long-term growth. Strategically positioned adja- cent to the AMEREN substa - tion and near the ADM Inter- modal Ramp, the site offers rail connectivity and provides access to major regional high- ways and airports. Its proposed load capacity of 274 mega-watts (MW) makes it ideal for data centers, advanced manufactur- ing, and electric vehicle (EV) industry. The site can accom- modate facilities ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 s/f. Today, Weiss Realty con - tinues to balance brokerage expertise with long-term own- ership and management, a dual perspective that remains a defining characteristic. In an industry marked by volatility and transformation, the firm’s multi-generational leadership structure provides continuity, institutional knowledge, and a sustained commitment to strategic growth. “Commercial real estate is about understanding communi- ties, anticipating change, and building relationships that last decades,” said Jaime Weiss. “If you focus on long-term value in- stead of short-term headlines, success follows.” MAREJ
