MORRISTOWN, N.J – JLL Capital Markets has arranged the $80 million sale of the Westwood Multi-housing Portfolio, a four-property, 276-unit multifamily portfolio located in Westwood and River Vale, New Jersey.

 JLL worked on behalf of the seller, Kushner, in procuring the private buyer.


JLL Capital Market’s Investment and Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Jose Cruz, Mike Oliver and Steve Simonelli, Director Elizabeth DeVesty and Associate Austin Pierce.

 

"The successful sale of the Westwood Multi-housing Portfolio underscores the strong investor demand for quality multifamily assets in high-demand markets like Bergen County," said Cruz.


 "This transaction highlights the appeal of properties with substantial value-add potential and the continued interest in suburban markets offering accessibility, strong demographics, and a high quality of life."

 

The portfolio is comprised of Coventry Square, Stanford Court and The Madison Apartments, all located in Westwood. Additionally, Village on the Green is situated in the adjacent town of River Vale.

 

Mike Oliver
Bergen County is an affluent area characterized by strong demand and a high quality of life, supported by major employers such as Hackensack Meridian Health and BMW's North American headquarters.

 

The average annual household income within a three-mile radius of key locations is $212,822, which is 31% above the county average and a remarkable 62% of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher, with 82% employed in white-collar professions.

 

 

The portfolio, built between 1979 and 1987, spans 11.79 acres and is currently 96% occupied. It comprises one- and two-bedroom units, each featuring full kitchens with energy-efficient appliances, granite countertops and hardwood flooring.


Steve Simonelli
Community amenities include a fitness center, swimming pool, tennis court and dog parks. With most units unrenovated, the portfolio presents an excellent value-add opportunity for the buyer.
