NRBP DEBUTS REAL ESTATE COUNCIL
WITH INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS
The Newark Regional Business
Partnership, the longtime host of
a signature commercial real estate
event, is doubling down on its ties
to the industry with a newly formed
advisory group.
According to the organization, the
Real Estate Council is meant to bring
together a diverse group of NRBP
members to create a trusted forum
for candid, in-depth dialogue around
real estate development in the greater
Newark region. Members will share
perspectives, address challenges
and help create opportunities,
while playing an instrumental role
in shaping the group’s annual Real
Estate Market Forum to ensure its
relevance, impact and alignment with
market realities.
“Real estate plays a critical role in
shaping the future of Newark and
our broader region,” said Ferlanda
Fox Nixon, CEO and president
of the Newark Regional Business
Partnership. “By launching the Real
Estate Council, we are creating a
space for industry leaders to come
together, exchange insights and help
guide high impact programming.
We’re excited to engage and learn
directly from this community as
we continue to build programs that
support thoughtful growth and
neighborhood transformation.”
Initiated by board members Frank
Ferruggia, a partner with McCarter &
English LLP and former NRBP board
chair, and Carissa Borraggine, Realtor
& Business Broker, the council
includes the following NRBP member
organizations, among many others:
