Greystone Capital Advisors, whose team included Drew Fletcher, Bryan Grover, Miryam Reinitz-Kops, and Jesse Kopecky, served as exclusive advisor on the transaction.

The Roselle Park asset is a newly developed 325-unit Class-A multifamily project delivered in 2024, located in a strategic infill market with proximity to major transit and thoroughfares providing tenants direct access to major employment centers within the greater New York City metro.
