- First-of-its-kind organization is comprised of the integral and active players involved in completing a successful commercial real estate venture in New Jersey -
NAI James E. Hanson, a leading New Jersey-based commercial real estate firm, is pleased to announce the recent launch of New Jersey Commercial Real Estate Alliance (www.NJCREA.com), an organization designed to provide collaborative expert advice from all the active professional disciplines involved in commercial real estate transactions in order to provide greater value to a prospective venture.
“Regardless of whether prospective clients are planning to buy, sell, build, renovate, lease, remodel, relocate or refinance commercial real estate, NJCREA aims to bring together highly regarded commercial real estate experts to examine and advise on ways to overcome the challenges that arise in real estate and construction projects by utilizing a unique and collaborative ‘think tank’ team approach,” commented Darren Lizzack, Associate Vice President at NAI James E. Hanson.
“Formed in response to a real need within the State of New Jersey, this first-of-its-kind group embraces a synergistic approach to properly address the unknowns of a turbulent economy and its impact on the complex world of real estate development.”
Launched in March of 2008, NJCREA’s members include talented and experienced individuals, such as accountants (The Hunter Group), appraisers (Welsh Chester Galiney Matone, Inc.), architects (IS&L Architecture), attorneys (Winne, Banta, Hetherington, Basralian & Kahn, PC), brokers (NAI James E. Hanson), business incentives (Walton Management, Services, Inc.), capital providers (G.S. Wilcox & Co.), construction management providers (SKANSKA), general contractors (Heuer & Company), engineering (Langan Engineering & Environmental Services), insurance providers (Ronald Diskin Associates Corp.) and title providers (Midland Abstract), who work concurrently to dispense advice on the best practices for completing successful commercial real estate ventures, including invaluable information on when projects may not be viable. In addition, given the realities of the current state of the economy, the NJCREA also looks at distressed properties and recommends new options.
The NJCREA offers a wide-range of services, including site and building analysis, title search, environmental studies, surveying, real estate brokerage, project financing, banking solutions, appraisal services, accounting and financial management, conceptual planning, commercial insurance, green building concepts, architectural and interior design, site engineering, planning and zoning board representation as well as reconstruction (following the completion of the project).
“The commercial real estate landscape of New Jersey is littered with snares and pitfalls, which Alliance members have the expertise to recognize and provide ‘best practices’ in order to best address the needs of today’s marketplace,” continued Lizzack. “Ultimately, when taken as a whole, the expertise of the NJCREA provides greater value to a prospective venture than a similar group of experts working independently. We are excited to be a part of such a unique and exciting organization and we believe that as a collaborative group, we will be able to work together and help make commercial real estate ventures more seamless.”
NJCREA has recently launched its website (www.njcrea.com) which offers a plethora of information and knowledge to individuals and firms that require these services for their real estate ventures. The site offers up-to-date industry news feeds that can be delivered to your email daily by signing up “free” of charge. The forum section was created for the public to connect with alliance members where you can ask questions or provide answers to questions posed by others. Each member firm has a blog page which offers unique information about each member’s respective field of expertise.
