E.V.P. Joni Sweetwood Arranges Exclusive Sale of 35 Units

Woodbridge, N.J., January 5, 2024 – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent sale of Sheridan Gardens, a 35-unit multifamily property at 533 East Second Avenue in Roselle, Union County, New Jersey, for $6,900,000.

Kislak marketed the property on an exclusive basis with executive vice president Joni Sweetwood  handling the assignment on behalf of the seller, Sheridan Estate Urban Renewal LLC, which is an affiliate of a longtime client, and she also procured the purchaser, Harrison Grove Holdings LLC. Ms. Sweetwood also handled the prior sale of the property to the seller in 2018.

The offering included assumable financing and a long-term PILOT program.

Ms. Sweetwood commented,  “The seller and buyer and their teams were pros and a pleasure to deal with, which made the transaction move as quickly as possible especially given the loan assumption and PILOT. The property condition also made the sale go quickly as it passed the city inspection the first time without any violations. “

Built in 1928, Sheridan Gardens is a four and a half story brick elevator apartment building with 35 units on 0.23 acre with on-site gated parking and many recent improvements including renovated apartments, new landscaping, a new entrance and bluestone walkway, and LED lighting. The roof and all electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems were replaced within the last 20 years.

The property is conveniently located in suburban Roselle between Westfield Avenue and Warinanco Park in central Union County approximately 10 miles from Newark and 18 miles from New York City.
