“The SIOR NJ Chapter is pleased with the results of the 2018 largest deal awards, which show that SIORs are among the most experienced and successful brokers in the business,” said Scott Perkins, a senior vice president with NAI James E. Hanson, who is SIOR’s chapter president in New Jersey.
The organization doled out the honors as part of its annual winter social and awards event in Hoboken, which took place on Feb. 28.
“Our team at CBRE, along with Advance Realty Investors and Greek Development, worked tirelessly to bring this 4.1 million-square-foot redevelopment site to the market,” said Lissner, an executive vice president with CBRE. “The site, which was once a large economic driver for the region, has been vacant for almost four decades. While many developers have tried to take control of it, our teams were able to put this deal together so that the value of the property can once again be unlocked.”
