Banas, Wood, Wilson and Saltiel advise borrower Walker & Dunlop structures $87M in financing for NJ housing portfolio
EW J ERSEY — Walker & Dunlop, Inc. has structured $87,429,870 i n Fanni e Mae financ- ing on behalf of The PRC G r o u p , a repeat client and mission- d r i v e n r e - g i ona l rea l estate owner and develop- er headquar- tered in Red Bank , NJ . The portfo- lio includes B r i g h t o n Arms Apart- me n t s , l o - cated in Neptune City, NJ, N John Banas Kris Wood
Grandville Towers, located in Red Bank, NJ, and Tree Haven Apartments, located in Matawan, NJ. The portfolio comprises 792 units in total, over 85 percent of which qualify as mission-driven, affordable housing under Federal Hous- ing Finance Agency (FHFA) guidelines. Walker & Dunlop has ar- ranged over $125 million in financing for The PRC Group throughout 2020. The three- property portfolio represented the borrower’s first agency execution. Capital Markets managing directors, John Banas and Kris Wood , as well as Analysts JohnWilson and Rhett Saltiel , structured the financing to provide the borrower flexibility, with four years of interest-only payments
and an attractive fixed rate for each of the 12-year loan’s terms. The team provided sup- port to the client throughout the deal process, effectively advising the client in their first Fannie Mae transaction. “John Banas and his team are a class act,” said Stanley Koreyv a, president and COO of The PRC Group. “They were on top of all the information we needed to supply, and their re- sponse time to us for any ques- tions we had was outstanding. They are true experts in han- dling this type of transaction.” Said Banas, “It was an honor to be selected by Bob Kaye , Stan Koreyva , and the team at PRC for this transaction, which helps preserve 710 units of workforce housing through- out New Jersey. Thanks to our
experienced team and strong partnership with Fannie Mae, we were able to successfully execute the transaction under the challenging circumstances presented by the global pan- demic.” Each of the three proper- ties is well-located near New Jersey’s Sandy Hook Bay and situated within a few miles of the coast. Located near Route 35, the portfolio offers residents quick access to Trenton and New Brunswick employment centers and are outfitted with community amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, clubhouses, and on-site prop- erty management. The client plans to utilize the cash-out proceeds to perform capital improvements and renovations to the buildings. MAREJ

Keeping Up With The Jonses’ Mortgage
L ong before there was a “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” and the like - Americans were focused on “Keeping up with the Jone- ses.” For those who don’t know, ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ is an expression that refers to the comparison to one’s neighbor as a benchmark for social class or the accumula- tion of material goods. Accord- ing to Wikipedia, the phrase originates with the comic strip Keeping Up with the Joneses, created by Arthur R. “Pop” Momand in 1913. I assure you that the concept originated well before that. When it comes to the recent “dip” in mortgage rates, I am finding a funny comparison and competition occurring in the marketplace. As most of my business comes from word of mouth referrals from current or past satisfied clients, I find that they are often pointing at the rate that their friend received and expecting to get the same or better. When I offer someone a low rate with limited or no fees, moments later, I get a phone call or email asking for

“the same deal.” I greatly appreciate the re- ferrals and introductions – it is the driving force of my busi- ness and keeps me motivated to exceed the expectations of my clients. That said, I always encourage people to explore and discover what is being of- fered in the “real” market (i.e., from friends and relatives, as opposed to the media and national averages), as I think it’s a healthy exercise. At the same time, however, when it comes to the particulars of what one homeowner might get as opposed to their neighbor, the range is enormous. Many variables go into consideration when someone is getting accu- rately quoted a rate for their specific circumstances. Don’t get me wrong; there
are still banks out there that put all of their clients into a “box,” They maintain a one- size-fits-all approach. For all those that meet the rigorous parameters of their guidelines and demands, you will get the universal rate that they offer to everyone. That might work out very well if the prices are “be- low market,” and a client has issues that would otherwise not yield the same terms else- where. Alternatively, if some- one has superior qualifications or other compensating factors, that might not be “rewarded” if the bank has a uniform rate for all its applicants. It is because of these (and so many other) inefficiencies in the banking environment that lenders such as Approved continued on page 16A

ay Properties and In- vestments is pleased to announce a com- pleted exchange for an in- vestor who did not originally intend to invest into Dela- ware Statutory Trust (DST) properties. vice president Alex Madden explained: “Af- ter discussing the client’s background in real estate investing, he expressed his first choice was to continue with active management for a few more years before he began moving his substan- tial real estate portfolio into more passive investments like DSTs. Our client real- ized that it may be prudent to use the Three Property Rule to identify two properties he could actively manage, and one DST in the event he was not able to complete his purchase within the time requirements of the 1031 exchange.” Senior vice president Jason Salmon went on to say “We were able to leverage out deep relationships within the industry to hold the cli- ent’s reservation while he conducted due diligence on his first two properties. In the end, neither passed his due diligence. Had he not for- mally identified a DST dur - ing his identification period he would have been facing a difficult decision between purchasing properties which did not meet his due diligence requirements, or facing a potentially significant tax consequence. Our Client was happy to have an alternative and was excited to have the option to use the tax deferral found in the 1031 exchange and DSTs.” About Kay Properties and www.kpi1031.com Kay Properties is a nation- al Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment firm. The www.kpi1031.com platform provides access to the mar- ketplace of DSTs from over 25 different sponsor companies, custom DSTs only available to Kay clients, independent advice on DST sponsor com- panies, full due diligence and vetting on each DST (typically 20-40 DSTs) and a DST secondary market.

The Impact Award was presented to Prism Capital Partners’ Eugene Diaz and RC An- dersen, LLC in recognition of their impact on the industrial and office development com - munities.

real estate community gath- ered screen-side to celebrate the achievements of its out- standing leaders and to honor the most impactful trans- actions of 2019 as NAIOP New Jersey held its 33rd An- nual Commercial Real Estate Awards Gala. The virtual event also marked the 50th anniver- sary of the commercial real estate development association and featured appearances by Governor Phil Murphy and Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick . “At a time when we are all concerned about the economic future of our state, we are grateful to have leaders like you in the real estate indus- try,” said Murphy. “I want to express my gratitude to Mike McGuinness and the mem- bers of NAIOP New Jersey for your incredible partnership. Working together we will get through this unprecedented time in our state’s history, and be stronger for it.” In his opening remarks, NAIOP New Jersey president Eugene Preston of Dermody Properties said, “NAIOP’s core mission is advocacy. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have worked closely with the Murphy Adminis- tration, legislative leaders and our business community colleagues to protect your in- terests and pave the way to a safe reopening and recovery of our economy. This astonishing disruption will reshape com- mercial real estate, economic and social landscapes, and public policy in unforeseen ways for years to come. Be as- sured, NAIOP will be part of the solutions.” Preston added, “The gala is a night for our extended real estate family to gather, recon- nect and celebrate. Although we’ll miss shaking hands and hugs tonight, we look forward to better days ahead.” This year’s highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognized the Frank Visceglia Family, considered NAIOP NJ’s “Founding Fam- ily,” for their multigenera- tional leadership of Federal Business Centers and for sig- nificant achievements in the industrial real estate industry, as well as for their contribu- tions to NAIOP New Jersey throughout its 50-year history.

EWARK, NJ — NAI James E. Hanson has negotiated two Bringing 2020 leasing to 350,000 s/f at Former Ballantine Brewery in Newark, NJ NAI Hanson’s Verducci and Demmers negotiate nearly 60,000 s/f in leases in September N
447 Ferry St. within the Bal- lantine Industrial Center. In less than a year, Verducci and Demmers have helped close nearly 350,000 s/f of leasing transactions at the property. The Ballantine Industrial Center is well-positioned to capitalize on the strong demand for industrial space in the Ports submarket. The market’s prox- imity to the tri-state area and easy access to several of the nation’s busiest multimodal logistics facilities including Port Newark/Elizabeth and Newark Liberty International Airport have ensured sustained demand from industrial users
anything of its kind, consist- ing of 180 luxury residential units and 33,000 s/f of ground- floor retail, ideally located along the bustling corridor of S. Harrison Street in East Orange. Involved in the deal were Blackstone 360, LLC; Amboy Bank; Avison Young; INOA – International Office of Architects; ADG; and Frank H. Lehr Associates. Industrial: Bridge Point 78, Bridge Development Partners’ redevelopment of the former Ingersoll Rand manufacturing plant in the townships of Phillipsburg and Lopatcong. Once completed, the class A industrial ware- house campus will total 3.85 million s/f. The 365-acre for- mer brownfield site required extensive geotechnical and environmental remediation. Phase I, comprised of four warehouses totaling 2,177,554 s/f, is being sold as part of a $695 million national port- folio. Involved in the deal were Bridge Development Partners; CBRE; JLL ; and Hartford Investment Man- agement . MAREJ continued from page 5A NAIOP New Jersey celebrates . . . “For companies hoping to capitalize on the robust logis- tics infrastructure found in the New York City area, there is no location better positioned than the Ports industrial submar- ket,” said Verducci. “However, the market’s maturity and den- sity coupled with tremendous demand have led to a lingering shortage of Class-A industrial space throughout the region.” Demmers added, “In such a crowded market, properties like the Ballantine Industrial Center continue to stand out to companies searching for the ideal combination of adaptabil- ity and location in one of the na- tion’s most lucrative industrial markets.” MAREJ despite the broader economic slowdown. According to data fromNAI James E. Hanson, the Ports submarket saw the big- gest increase across northern and central NJ in average ask- ing rents in Q2 2020 compared to the same time period the year prior, increasing by 18.5%. Additionally, the market’s lim- ited deliveries of new space and robust renewal activity have seen its vacancy rate decline by 130 basis points to 2.4% from the same time last year.

ther proactive in setting up employees to work from home or reactive by being cautious on what was needed to perform the specific job. Leaders needed to recognize that the equilib- rium of a company had shifted and respond in a fashion that helped to re-stabilize the situ- ation. Technology, people, mar- kets and politics all play into an organization’s response and the emphasis that is needed to move forward. Negotiation skills – the key to negotiating is finding com - mon ground and the pandemic has made that obvious. How- ever, people have responded
very differently; some deny the pandemic is as big of a concern as the CDC reports, while oth- ers refuse to leave their homes. Working through the various emotions and dealing with the issue of how to remain a viable company is key. Be prepared to understand the interest of each party, focus on the problems, and set high aspirations. Leading for creativity and innovation – now more than ever has the business sector been tasked to be creative and innovative on ways to perform work remotely while continuing to be a profitable company. Open communication, implementing a
support structure, and training are key. All employees should be given the chance to give constructive feedback on the new process. Timelines on how and when to communicate, com- munication channels and modes should be established to remain a cohesive and collaborative team. The opportunities for im- provement will become evident and help the company with out of the box thinking to improve their skillset. Throughout this process, a structure should be put in place to gage the effect of the changes and confirm continued support opportunities exist to build

Leading strategic change – the pandemic required us to modify how a company inter- acts with its employees and customers. While unveiling holes in procedures along with providing opportunities to im- prove. In the days and months since the pandemic changed our world, it also pushed organiza- tions to make strategic deci- sions on closing business units earlier than anticipated, mov- ing in or out of a specific mar - ket, and preparing themselves for what the desired state could be. The need to identify areas of resistance and adjustment are key to the success of a company. Leading organizational change – along with strategic change comes organizational change.
