A commercial building that was the longtime home of a construction firm has changed hands in East Orange, in a newly announced deal by KW Commercial Realty.
According to the brokerage team, the property at 314 Dodd St. includes 5,000 square feet of workshop and office space on just under three-quarters of an acre. It spent 47 years as the headquarters of Frankoski Construction Co., KW’s Brian Kelly said, noting that it’s now home to Supreme Plumbing Supply after the latter relocated from Orange.
Kelly represented both parties in the deal. Elliot Scher of Benenson & Scher LLC and Naftaly Weisz served as attorneys for the sellers and buyer, respectively, while Sills Cummis & Gross PC land use attorney Corey Klein and Don Fiore of Heintz Fiore Architects were integral in applying for and obtaining the zoning permit.
The 16-month transaction included several meetings with East Orange’s policy, planning and development board, as well as zoning officials, code inspectors, appraisers, loan officers and a holdover tenancy, Kelly said. Terms were not disclosed.
