Brach Eichler Noted for Involvement in Multifamily Transactions in Montclair and Union City
Allen Popowitz represented the seller and buyer in a rare multifamily transaction in Montclair, a 29-unit building that sold for $3.45 million. Jeffrey Itzkowitz represented the buyer in a $2.25 million sale of a 28-unit apartment building in Union City.
Client's Right Upheld as "Highest and Best Bidder"
The Appellate Division ruled today upholding the right of our client, a group of physician investors, to be declared the "highest and best bidder" even though the client paid $1.8 million less than the highest bid for a commercial property, an office building in dispute. The ruling allows our client to complete the purchase of a fantastic commercial property in Bergen County and construct a medical facility there.
Brach Eichler's Real Estate Practice Group recently completed the second largest deal in its history. The team, led by Allen Popowitz, closed the acquisition of 5,000 apartment units located in thirteen properties spread out over Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. This highly complex deal involved loans in default, properties in distress and in the hands of various receivers, and acquisition funds from various sources.
The Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, passed in 2004, was intended to preserve open spaces and protect natural resources.

Litigation Partner Alan Bernstein obtained a unanimous ruling on June 21, from the New Jersey Supreme Court in Abouzaid v. Mansard Gardens Associates, L.L.C., vindicating a client's position which was adverse to their insurance carrier in a hard-fought and closely-watched dispute by the insurance industry. The decision of the Court reversed the Appellate Court decision and reinstated a trial court ruling awaiting legal fees to Alan for his insistence that the insurance company provide a defense and coverage to his client, and awarded the firm attorney fees because the carrier had wrongfully refused to do so. The case is noteworthy becuase it provided the Court with an opportunity to explain and expand the law dealing with recovery of emotional distress damages and how an insurance carrier should treat a request for coverage and defense. Alan led the Brach Eichler team, which included litigators Stuart Polkowitz and David Klein.
