Sprucing it up
New Jersey is largely built out, at least as far as the best locations are concerned, meaning redevelopment is often the only option. That’s driving a series of new investments by shopping center owners that have secured new deals with supermarkets and other big-box tenants.

A focused expansion: Scarinci Hollenbeck says it’s now a one-stop shop for real estate — with clear growth potential
It’s one thing to become the proverbial one-stop shop, as Scarinci Hollenbeck LLC has sought to do with a series of recent additions to its real estate department.

Advocacy groups: Funding NJ Transit is critical to state’s economic, environmental future
As the state wrestles over a solution to address NJ Transit’s fiscal cliff, we must not lose sight of the importance of funding public transportation.

Supporting NJ Transit ensures that hundreds of thousands of transit-dependent riders access jobs, schools and health care, which supports employers and the regional economy.

If New Jersey is to position itself as a hub for advanced industries such as data centers, energy storage and cold storage manufacturing, it needs to act.
