V.P. Julie Gralla Arranges Exclusive Sale of Three Buildings

Woodbridge, N.J., December 15, 2022 – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent sale of a multifamily portfolio in Newark and East Newark, New Jersey for $3,150,000 that includes the following properties:  an 8-unit building at 96 Jackson Street in Newark, a 6-unit building at 65 Lang Street in Newark and 6-unit building at 442 John Street in East Newark.

Kislak marketed the portfolio on an exclusive basis with vice president Julie Gralla handling the assignment on behalf of the sellers, Jackson Street, LLC, FKJ Realty Holdings, LLC and 442 John Street, LLC. She also procured the purchaser, MFP Realty.

Ms. Gralla commented, “This was a challenging deal from the start primarily because of the rising interest rates, and the final contract was the third one on the portfolio. Fortunately, we overcame the challenges and secured a purchaser at an aggressive cap rate. We connected them with a bank that had a small pool of financing available at a relatively attractive interest rate and closed.”

The portfolio consists of three buildings – a brick, four-story with eight one-bedroom units on Jackson Street; a brick and vinyl-sided three-story with six two-bedroom units on Lang Street; and a vinyl-sided, three-story with three two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units on John Street.

The Jackson Street property is centrally located near the corner of Ferry Street and only a 10-minute walk from Newark Penn Station. The Lang Street property is a 10-minute walk from the Jackson Street location. The John Street property in East Newark is within minutes of Route 21/McCarter Highway and a 15-minute walk to the Newark Broad Street train station.

Ms. Gralla joined Kislak in 2010 and specializes in the sale of investment properties throughout northern New Jersey. After her first year with Kislak, she received the firm’s Rookie of the Year award. In 2020 and 2021, Ms. Gralla also received the firm’s silver achievement award, previously earning the bronze achievement award in 2016 and 2017, for her transaction success. She was also recognized in the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal’s Executive Women in Business and 40 Under 40 spotlight issues.
