Rockefeller Group Snags Deal of the Year Award for Goya Transaction

JERSEY CITY-The Rockefeller Group recently picked up a second consecutive NAIOP Deal of the Year award for its sale of a 40-acre site in Jersey City to Goya Foods for development. The award was handed out at NAIOP’s 25th Annual Commercial Real Estate Awards Gala, held earlier this month at The Palace at Somerset Park and attended by a sold-out crowd of 750 leaders from the New Jersey real estate community. 

The Goya Foods transaction, completed in 2011, was recognized with an Economic Impact award, in a tie with the deal arranging Panasonic Corp.’s move to build a new headquarters in Newark. The deal paves the way for Goya Foods to build a 631,000-square-foot headquarters and sustainable industrial facility.
