CHATHAM, NJ, September 5, 2018 – Nick Stefans, The Garibaldi Group’s associate vice president, successfully closed four deals in just three months, totaling 13,065 square feet of space. Of these transactions, 6,615 square feet of office space was leased in the firm’s hometown of Chatham, NJ.
At 1 Main Street in Chatham, Stefans helped Metrix Lab secure 4,015 square feet in The KRE Group‘s building in July. Metrix Lab, a global market research company, was represented by Jon Williams, managing director of Cushman & Wakefield.
Less than a mile down the street, Stefans found a second tenant for 383 Main Street in June, leasing 2,600 square feet to the law firm Irwin & Heinze, P.A. The team plans to relocate their offices from West Orange to the Chatham-based Serruto Properties building.
“With a noticeable push coming toward the suburbs in the form of relocations and satellite offices, it’s more important to represent these smaller spaces now more than ever,” the firm’s president, Jeff Garibaldi, said. “Nick has kept his finger on the pulse in Chatham while surveying the growing markets like Jersey City and Newark. We expect him to take this momentum into 2019.”
In Jersey City, Stefans welcomed Mathisys Advisors, a start-up hedge fund, to 111 Town Square Place in May. The company agreed to lease 2,550 square feet in the LeFrak-owned building.
Outside the office space realm, Stefans helped complete the sale of a 3,900 square foot industrial condo at 30 Sherwood Lane in Fairfield, NJ. The space was sold in May on behalf of Manhattan Maintenance for just over $98 per square foot to Melih & Tulin Uludag.
2018 marks Stefans third year with The Garibaldi Group, where he plays a key role in managing the portfolios of Cambrex Corporation, Realogy and Suburban Propane. Previously, Stefans worked as an OTC Commodities Broker for the GFI Group, Inc. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Saint Lawrence University.
