The
HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing
directors Jose Cruz and Andrew Scandalios, managing directors Kevin
O’Hearn and Jeffrey Julien and associate director Michael Oliver.
According to Cruz, “This sale provided an opportunity to
acquire a multi-housing portfolio in northern Bergen County, New Jersey, which
is a rare occurrence. As a result, the
buyer pool aggressively chased the asset and the process produced more than 12
bidders.”
“The Westwood and River Vale properties
were among the first residential communities that we acquired when we decided
to add multi-housing into our portfolio,” said Emanuel Stern, COO and president
for Hartz Mountain Industries. “We’ve
been really happy with these properties and we know Kushner will be as well.”
Headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, Hartz Mountain

real estate portfolios in the United States, comprised of approximately 200
properties and totaling more than 38 million square feet in the northern New
Jersey/New York area as well as Chicago, Seattle and Austin, Texas.
