Five Properties To Be Sold “Absolute” on March 23rd
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Sheldon Good & Company, a Racebrook Portfolio Company, has been retained to sell five apartment buildings in Trenton, NJ and Allentown, PA operated by Connolly Properties, Inc. during a one-day-only real estate auction on March 23rd.
The assets will be sold separately and “Absolute,” regardless of price, according to Jeffrey Hubbard, Senior Managing Director for Sheldon Good & Company, America’s leading real estate auction marketing firm.
Suggested opening bids for the properties range from $500,000 to $6.5 million. The March 23rd auction will be held at the Hilton Woodbridge at 120 Wood Avenue, Iselin, NJ.
Registration begins at noon; the auction commences at 1 p.m. Certified or cashier’s checks in varying amounts depending on property are required to buy.
“Connolly Properties, Inc. is an owner/operator of a large portfolio of multi-family properties in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania marketplace,” notes Mr. Hubbard. “As part of a corporate reorganization, they have targeted select assets within their portfolio to sell at this time, and have elected to do so through an auction process. We’re delighted that Connolly and its Lenders have placed their confidence in Sheldon Good & Company to carry out the auction, which we believe is the most efficient and cost-effective method of expediting the sale of these properties. We’re confident that our proven auction model will achieve the results sought by all parties involved.”
Ron Simoncini, a Connolly Properties spokesman, said: “It would be difficult for us to seem enthusiastic about giving up any of our properties — we believe in all of them. But the reality is, the intelligent strategy is for us to sell select assets in the portfolio, reform our capital base and satisfy our obligations to creditors.”
Three of the five properties are located in Allentown, PA. They include:
