M
ONTVILLE, NJ - CRE TV — In the dynamic landscape
of online video content, busi- nesses are constantly seeking effective ways to showcase their services. While YouTube is the most popular platform, it may not be the optimal choice when it comes to embedding video content on your website. In this article, we’ll explore these and other limitations of YouTube, and why a third- party CRE TV news report fea- turing YOU with a dedicated video platform like the CRE TV News Network might be a more powerful and credible op- tion for commercial real estate professionals in 2024. YouTube Limitations: YouTube, undoubtedly a giant in the video-sharing sphere, presents certain draw- backs for businesses embed- ding content on their websites. One major concern is the lack of control over suggested videos that may appear after
yours. These “promoted” sug- gestions might lead viewers away from your site, diluting your intended message and potentially directing them to competitor content. Moreover, YouTube may introduce ads before or dur- ing your video, creating a distraction and diminishing the professional image you seek to portray. Additionally, the platform’s algorithmic nature may not always pri- oritize your content in search results, making it challenging to stand out amidst the vast sea of videos. Third-Party Reporter vs. Self-Promotion: Imagine if you could turn every press release into a TV News story? A TV segment
produced by a third-party reporter holds inherent cred- ibility and authenticity. When an independent reporter covers your company or professional service, it implies and delivers a level of objectivity and valida- tion that self-produced videos often lack. Third-party endorse- ments foster trust and confi - dence among your audience, making it a more powerful tool for reputation management. Conversely, creating a vid- eo in the first person, solely for self-promotion, can come across as self-serving and lack the credibility associ- ated with unbiased reporting. Viewers may be skeptical of overly promotional content, potentially undermining the continued on page 14A

The property is part of a 437-acre winery in Chesapeake City. Notably, Kennedy Funding closed the loan in eight busi- ness days, when traditional lending can take weeks or months to close. The loan commitment was executed on December 14, 2023, and closed on December 27, 2023, in the midst of the peak holiday sea- son, a period when obtaining real estate financing typically takes longer, especially from traditional funding sources. This was the third loan Ken- nedy Funding closed in the last week of December. “You need to anticipate chal- lenges and delays during the holiday season, and you need to know how to navigate them while still meeting the borrow- er’s needs in a timely fashion,” said Kevin Wolfer , president/ CEO of Kennedy Funding. “At Kennedy Funding, we have the experience and know-how to assess potential deals on next-toimpossible timelines and get funding in the hands of borrowers at any time of the year.” The borrower, AE Bohe- mia Manor Farm, LLC , will use the proceeds toward its $8.9 million purchase of the property. AE Bohemia Manor Farm intends to maintain the current operations of Chateau Bu-De Winery & Vineyard, along with its five catering establishments and bed-and- breakfast, in collaboration with VIVÂMEE Hospitality , which manages three other luxury resorts. The winery includes a 15,000 s/f building with a tasting room, a ballroom, entertainment spaces, and a full catering kitchen with food served on-site. Chateau Bu-De Winery & Vineyard hosts 30,000 visitors per year,

M&T RCC appoints new CEO and other organizational changes
Estate in Old Westbury, NY
with just under 60,000 vines of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other widely sought-after wines. Weddings and events at the winery are booked well into 2024. Wolfer said that Kennedy Funding evaluates its lend- ing prospects largely on their value to the surrounding community, and the winery’s popularity was a clear sign of that value. “Direct private lenders like us are free to examine the merits of a deal, without being forced to tick certain boxes or meet potentially irrelevant criteria,” Wolfer said. “Between Chateau Bu-De Winery & Vineyard’s gorgeous waterfront scenery, stunning bed-and-breakfast space, state- of-the-art vineyard, catering, and event spaces, we were fully confident that the borrower’s purchase would elevate the Chesapeake City community.” “Between Chesapeake City’s geographical proximity to ma- jor cities and Chateau BuDe Winery & Vineyard’s historic ties to its hometown, it’s clear to see that this site will con- tinue to be a destination for wine lovers, events, and wed- dings,” Wolfer said. “We are proud to have closed this loan, especially during the holiday
when it can be harder to get deals done. Our ongoing mis- sion is to continue to support our clients who aspire toward a prosperous future with their real estate ventures. In a second transaction, Ken- nedy Funding closed a $5 mil- lion loan on a residential estate in affluent Old Westbury, NY. The loan proceeds will be used for working capital. There is no debt on the property. Despite numerous setbacks and challenges, Kennedy was able to fill the funding void, providing the necessary capital. The loan was brokered by Hong Hu of Googain, Inc., and Nicole Cayton of KR Capital . For Kennedy, the transaction best demonstrates its commitment to providing funding, especially in these uncertain times, when con- ventional lending has all but dried-up. “The borrower needed to close by the end of the year, and we were able to perform our due diligence and deliver in a timely fashion,” said Wolfer. “Despite the fact that there was no debt on the property, the journey to the closing table can often be lengthy, espe- cially when there is a bank or conventional lender involved,” Wolfer added.

AMILTON, NJ — Fennelly Associ- ates , and Keyser , a H Keyser co-brokers sale of 9772 s/f office building at 2291 Rte. 33 amounting to $2.3M Jerry Fennelly, SIOR of Fennelly Associates completes four transactions in Hamilton, NJ
full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm based in Scottsdale, AZ, announced they have negotiated the sale of a 9,772 s/f office building at 2291 Rte. 33 in Hamilton. for $2.3M. Fennelly Associates and Keyser represented the buyer, DMI , in the transaction. Established in 1957 in Mel - ville, N.Y, DMI is one of the longest-running, continu- ously operating cooperative warehouse groups in the US. Amidst significant growth,
2291 Rte. 33 in Hamilton
3840 Quakerbridge Rd.
the company recognized that its existing warehouse space was ill-suited to its needs both in function and size. The firm initially contacted Keyser to
secure a new warehouse space that would allow for efficient cross-docking and storage ca- pabilities. Earlier in 2023, the company negotiated a lease for
a brand-new 845,078 s/f ware - house located at 1365 Lamber - ton Rd. in Trenton. However, its growth also necessitated a new office. Keyser, leveraging
the SIOR network, contacted Jerry Fennelly, SIOR , presi- dent of Fennelly Associates, to help DMI secure an office space for the company. Fennelly was able to identify 2291 Rte. 33 in nearby Hamilton as the ideal location for DMI’s offices. “The national reach of the SIOR network ensures com- panies can find a trusted, ex - perienced broker to help them meet their space needs in any market and asset class,” said Fennelly. “We were happy to work with Keyser to provide DMI with an ideal office space to accompany their brand-new warehouse. We look forward to the next opportunity to work closely with our SIOR col- leagues to help a client achieve its goals.” At the Van Nest Office Park in Hamilton, Fennelly Associates brokered leases for 3,700 s/f with Thrive Financial Services, 1,945 s/f with Empro Insurance, and 1,450 s/f with Caplin Point Labs at 3840 Quakerbridge Rd. Jerry Fennelly, SIOR represented the landlord in all three transactions. 3840 Quakerbridge Rd. is a 33,000 s/f, two-story office building located less than two miles from the intersec- tion of Rte. 1 and I-295. 3840 Quakerbridge Rd., joined by an identical adjacent build - ing at 3836 Quakerbridge Rd. forms the Van Nest Office Park, a modern office campus bordering the Van Nest Wild- life Refuge, a 98-acre wildlife management area. . “Although these businesses operate in different industries and serve different clients, their need for a well-located, modern office is uniform,” said Fennelly. “Despite the difficul - ties in the broader office mar - ket, the strong demand from businesses aiming to tap into Mercer County’s favorable de- mographics underpins what continues to be a standout local office market.” MAREJ

F KLNB secures new HQ location for InventWood Lincoln Property Company brokers 88,971 s/f ind. lease
Kelley Drye Warren provided legal services Finmarc sells 25,000 s/f flex/ office building for $4.35M
REDERICK, MD — KLNB announced the 88,971 s/f commercial industrial lease for Invent- Wood (IW), a Maryland-based early-stage, high-growth company that is a leader in cellulose-based material and nanotechnology innovations that are high performance, cost-effective, and environmen- tally sustainable. Located at 5971 Jefferson Station Court in Frederick, the property lease was coordinated by KLNB vice president Kristin Rebeck who acted as IW’s tenant rep. As IW outgrew its incuba- tor space at the University of Maryland (UMD), the search for a new headquarters location began. Rebeck advised the IW team on future growth needs and space planning, searching across the DMV for the ideal property. Site selection includ- ed diverse spaces ranging from old factories to sawmills, and even undeveloped sites, with the IW team embracing the journey to find the best option. “It was an honor to have played a role in securing the future space for InventWood’s headquarters,” said KLNB’s Rebeck. “This is a perfect ex- ample of how having the right tenant advisor can ensure the successful navigation of any challenge. And in this case, we faced zoning considerations, a scarcity of industrial inventory in the region, escalating rental rates, and finding landlords able to accommodate IW’s unique requirements, but in the end we found an ideal solution and were able to secure the best facility for InventWood.” IW is poised to become one of the most innovative companies to emerge from UMD with a $20 million grant from the US Department of Energy and to establish its headquarters in Maryland. The company’s manufacturing launch in early 2025 promises not only significant economic growth for the region, but also a trans- formative step towards a sus- tainable and impactful future with an innovative technology focused on a positive environ- mental impact.

But, prospects of lower benchmark rates, pent-up de- mand, and our team’s ability to identify value-add opportu- nities in various asset classes positions us as preferred buy- ers in the year ahead. “We are particularly at- tracted to under-performing properties that provides our team the opportunity to create long-term and sustained value with the implementation of proven leasing and asset man- agement strategies that lower operational expenses,” Fink added. “We also have a distinct advantage among others given our ready access to our inter- nal capital, combined with our certainty to close which instill confidence among sellers.” Fink added that Identity ac- quired a well-maintained asset with in-place tenants that will provide immediate cash flow to the non-profit organization. “Identity is a highly-respect- ed organization which provides extremely important services to the underserved population of Montgomery County and its presence in Girard Place will pay valuable dividends to the local Gaithersburg commu- nity,” he added.

GAITHERSBURG, MD — Finmarc Management, Inc. , a diversified commer- cial real estate investment and management firm head - quartered in Bethesda has announced the sale of 620 E. Diamond Ave. in Gaith- ersburg, a two-story building containing 25,000 s/f of flex/of - fice space, to Identity, Inc. for nearly $4.35 million. The asset was part of a nine-building portfolio comprising 342,000 s/f of flex/office, commercial office, retail, and warehouse space purchased by Finmarc in 2014 from First Potomac Realty Trust . The building, which is contained on a 1.98- acre parcel in the Gaithers- burg section of Montgomery County, was 50% occupied at the time of the sales transac- tion. Ken Fellows and Rob Pugh of KLNB represented the seller and Jhon Pacheco of CBRE represented the buyer in this sales transaction. Aaron Rosenfeld of Kelley Drye Warren provided legal services to Finmarc. The asset is positioned with- in proximity to I-270, MD Rte. 200, MD Rte. 355 and the Shady Grove Metro Station and is 20 miles from Wash- ington, DC and 40 miles from BWI Airport. Identity, a non-profit orga - nization which operates four high school Wellness Centers and two Youth Opportunity Centers in Montgomery Coun- ty, intends to relocate its head- quarters and 50 employees to 620 E. Diamond Ave. later this year. The group provides a broad array of programs and services focused on support- ing the physical, social, emo- tional, and mental wellbeing of Latino and other historically underserved youth throughout

“The relationship we cre- ated with Kristin, our KLNB tenant advisor, showcases just how much she cared about our future,” said InventWood CEO Josh Cable. “We spoke to Kristin almost daily, discuss- ing our expansion strategy, plans for horizontal growth, and why we believe so deeply in our technologies. I believe that Kristin’s dedication, and genu- ine interest in our company, is what allowed her to find such an ideal property.” In addition, Rebeck and Ca- ble credit Jody Bollinger and the team at Frederick Eco- nomic Development for being a valuable tenant resource, providing support that IW con- tinues to utilize. Additionally, Lincoln Property Company , acting as landlord represented by Brent Prossner and Kyle Bell , demonstrated unwaver- ing commitment in tailoring the site to meet IW’s needs, foster- ing a promising partnership for the company’s regional growth. In a second Maryland trans- action, KLNB announced the sale of 7750 Montpelier Rd. in Maple Lawn to St. John Properties . The sale includes a 32,488 s/f, education facility, and two additional undevel- oped parcels of land totaling 5.96 useable acres. Located in the Montpelier Research Park, the property’s sale was facilitated by the KLNB Capi- tal Markets team of principals Abby Glassberg and Joe
Friedman , senior VP Don Schline , and office & industri - al specialist Joshua Norwitz . The sale price was $8.25M. KLNB represented the sell- er, Maryland Institute of In- tegrative Heath (MUIH), and procured the buyer, St. John Properties, which intends to develop multiple single-story office/flex buildings to provide support the increased needs of the Applied Physics Labo- ratory and the greater Maple Lawn community. The seller, MUIH, has entered a short- term buyback lease that will provide income to St. John Properties while planning and construction are underway. “This is the last remaining undeveloped parcel in Montpe- lier Research Park” said Glass- berg. “The existing building is extremely functional for office, school and assembly uses due to the existing layout and gener- ous 269 surface parking spaces. It also offers outstanding acces- sibility with proximity to Rtes. 29 and 32, making it highly desirable for any occupants attracting people from nearby towns and neighborhoods.” The parcel is zoned PEC (Planned Employment Cen- ter), and possible uses include light industrial, biomedical laboratories, ambulatory health care, restaurants, ca- tering/banquets, education and schools, hospitals, hotels, and even Housing Commission housing development.
