John Crossman Speaking at 44th Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, DC


John Crossman
WASHINGTON, D.C. – John Crossman, President of Crossman & Company, has the honor of speaking at the 44th Annual Legislative Conference hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. 

ALC provides an outlet to highlight the mission of CBCF – to develop leaders, to inform policy and to educate the public. It also provides dozens of forums to address the critical challenges facing the African-American community. 

The topic for this year’s conference is “What Does the Future Hold?”

Crossman wants to emphasize the importance of real estate being taught in all historically black colleges and universities across the country, which could potentially lead to real estate becoming a minor or degree program option for HBCU students. 

Crossman says, “The issue is a big gap in the civil rights movement.”  He mentions that “we need more HBCUs graduates to become very wealthy who then can give back and make a strong, significant impact in the community.”


Since 1976, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) has been the premier research and educational institution dedicated to advancing the global black community. For more information, visit their website: www.cbcfinc.org

HFF secures $14.5 million financing for Class A office property in Matawan, NJ


Jon Mikula
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – HFF announced it has secured $14.5 million in financing for Metro Park South, a 132,721-square-foot, Class A office building in Matawan, New Jersey.

                HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Denholtz Associates, to secure the three-year, floating-rate bridge loan with The Bancorp Bank. 

Loan proceeds will be used to pay off existing debt, execute a capital expenditure program that includes upgrades to the building’s lobby and common areas, and cover upcoming tenant improvements and leasing commissions needed to stabilize the property.

                Metro Park South is part of a three-building cluster of high-quality office assets located at 100 Matawan Road at Exit 120 of the Garden State Parkway and within minutes of the New Jersey Turnpike, Routes 1 and 9 and Interstate 287.

  Amenities at the four-story building include an atrium lobby, 100 covered executive parking spaces, on-site cafĂ© and abundant parking. 

Michael Klein
                The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by director Michael Klein along with senior managing director Jon Mikula and associate director Michael Lachs.

                “The borrower was seeking a loan that would provide them with the capital needed to refresh the building’s image in the market,” said Klein. 

  “Upgrades to the lobby and common areas as well as the building’s exterior will help draw small and midsize tenants that want to be located south of the Driscoll Bridge to an already tight submarket.”

                “Bancorp quickly understood the borrower’s needs and was able to provide a non-recourse loan structure that will enable Denholtz Associates to execute its business plan,” added Mikula.  “Their process was seamless and they were able to close in approximately 30 days, which helped the borrower meet their upcoming loan maturity.”
