E.V.P. Matt Weilheimer Arranges Exclusive Sale of 121 Income-Restricted Units

Woodbridge, N.J., June 28, 2022 – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent sale of a portfolio of affordable income-restricted multifamily properties in northern and central New Jersey for a total of $14,145,000.

Kislak marketed the properties on an exclusive basis with executive vice president Matt Weilheimer handling the assignment, and he also procured three purchasers for the four properties. The parties were not disclosed.

Eagle View Apartments with 48 units at 206 Joan Warren Way/402 Market Street in Monroe Township, Middlesex County sold for $7,275,000.

The Hills at Rockaway with 30 condominium units operated as rentals at Parkview Lane in  Rockaway, Morris County sold for $3,200,000.

The Preserve at Matawan with 31 condominium units operated as rentals at Sloan Court in Matawan, Monmouth County sold for $2,370,000.

Don’s Apartments with 12 units at 660 South Orange Avenue in Livingston, Essex County sold for $1,300,000.

Mr. Weilheimer commented, “The availability of the portfolio presented a rare opportunity for investors to acquire 121 desirable affordable housing units in very strong northern and central Jersey locations. The properties had between 17 and 27 years of affordability restrictions left on the initial terms. For many years, we saw a limited number of investors owning and operating in the affordable sector but now, especially given the need for affordable housing, the demand is increasing among investors including some who traditionally focused on market rate housing. We experienced this trend firsthand with our marketing and sale of the portfolio.”
