How to survive the commercial real estate industry in 2024
All of the industry conferences and panels I’ve attended over the last several months have one thing in common — in each, someone has uttered the phrase “Survive to ’25” or the Bee Gees variant “Stayin’ alive till ’25,” either seriously or perfunctorily, as nearly everyone in the commercial real estate market knows that 2024 is going to be a rocky year. Why? Each of the players in the venerable trifecta of tenant, landlord and lender is having problems of their own.

Steady hands: How Genova Burns is helping real estate clients navigate rising rates, market shifts
Genova Burns, home to one of the state’s most prominent real estate practices, is as busy and as integral to the industry as it was before the pandemic and before the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates last year. Increasingly, though, the Newark-based firm is helping clients either play defense or guide them through this period of uncertainty.
Cheaper by the dozens: N.J. Legislature considers bill proposing unlimited restricted liquor licenses for annual fee
The New Jersey Legislature is considering a bipartisan bill (S355/A3710) that establishes a restricted beer, wine and cider license that would allow restaurants, for a small annual fee, to sell certain alcoholic beverages to their patrons. In an effort to counteract the diminution in value of already-owned liquor licenses, the proposed bill provides tax credit under corporate business tax and gross income tax for loss in value to certain alcoholic beverage licenses. Despite this tax credit, there is sure to be a significant decrease in the value of already-owned liquor licenses. This loss in value is likely to in turn diminish the value of the properties underlying those licenses.
