Gebroe-Hammer Associates Arranges Sale of Plainfield, NJ Multi-Family Portfolio for the Second Time in Two Years

Plainfield, NJ, July 26, 2018 – Gebroe-Hammer Associates has arranged the sale of a four-building multi-family portfolio located on Park Avenue and East 7th Street in the heart of Plainfield, N.J. The $6.4 million transaction was finalized by the firm’s market specialists who orchestrated the acquisition of the same properties in June, 2016 for the current seller for $4.7 million. In the latest trade, the properties were sold by Plainfield MF LLC to an unnamed buyer.

Situated in the Randolph Road/Park Avenue neighborhood, the properties include 1003 Park Ave. (10 units), 122-124 E. 7th St. (6 units), 128 E. 7th St. (28 units) and 138 E. 7th St. (12 units). Layouts range from studios to five-bedrooms, with a high concentration of one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans. The neighborhood housing stock includes a mix of single-family homes and apartment complexes, many of which were built between 1920 and 1969.

Plainfield is a major transportation hub for commuters, despite the lack of an interstate highway within its borders. Major thoroughfares include the retail-laden U.S. Route 22, which connects the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania with Newark, and U.S. Route 1 & 9. Entry to I-287 and I-78 can be accessed through neighboring communities. Two train stations and local/regional bus routes also provide commuter service to Midtown Manhattan and Newark.
