"The New Jersey market concentration of multi-family and commercial properties is a natural expansion of the firm's area of focus. Furthermore, adding coverage in the core New Jersey markets has been a key element of Massey Knakal's vision to carefully grow our influence," says CEO Paul J. Massey Jr., adding that "sellers in New Jersey would benefit from a more direct pipeline to purchasers outside their local markets. We are particularly fortunate to have Landon McGaw take a leadership role in the firm." McGaw is making the leap to New Jersey from the firm's Brooklyn office.

The new office, which Massey expects will be a permanent location, is situated at the intersection of Routes 3 and 17. Owned by Meadows Office LLC, the 285,000-square-foot class A building comes loaded with on-site amenities from a full cafeteria and massage therapist to a lobby shop. "Every time we've gone into a market, we've started with something small and then grown it organically," says Massey. "We expect the same thing to occur in New Jersey."
