That expertise
includes office, retail, industrial
and mixed-use assets, as well
as development and investment
initiatives involving acquisitions,
repositioning strategies and tenant
improvements.
Prior to joining Newmark Associates,

Esteemed real estate and
redevelopment attorney Anne

Wilentz Goldman & Spitzer PA,
one that will allow her to bring her
expertise to a select group of clients

Babineau’s involvement is reserved

redevelopment
dynamics. The Woodbridge-based
practice announced the part-time
role in April while noting that
she has “earned her reputation as
an accomplished and influential
practitioner who spots trends
in redevelopment and suggests
creative options — transforming
problem properties into productive
communities and business across
the state’s most complex and
celebrated projects, while shaping
the future of the field itself.”
Babineau is a longtime shareholder
with Wilentz and has worked on
some of the state’s most significant
and complex redevelopment
projects.
“Those who have worked with her
already know the uncommon value
she brings: a rare command of the
regulatory, financial, political and
community dynamics that determine
whether a project succeeds or fails,”
Wilentz Managing Partner Angelo
Cifaldi wrote. “We are excited about
how this change reinforces the one-
firm convenience Wilentz delivers to
real estate developers across New
Jersey.”
The firm added that its
interdisciplinary real estate and
redevelopment practice, comprised
of more than 20 attorneys, has been
recognized by industry rankings
and “brings deep experience
across land use, environmental
law, public finance, banking, real
property, redevelopment and related
litigation.”
“Anne will continue to be a part
of that team, doing what she is
known for, providing her experience
and network, but also tracking
emerging legal and business trends,
legislation, public policy shifts and
the new programs that shape where
redevelopment is headed,” Cifaldi
added. “That perspective has always
informed how we advise clients, and
it will continue to do so across every
