For Debra Tantleff, founding principal of Tantum Real Estate and a longtime developer in the state, the ribbon-cutting Tuesday at 526 Ocean Ave. in Jersey City was different from the many others she has attended.

Tantum Real Estate has opened the doors to a new boutique apartment building in Jersey City that will provide affordable housing to military veterans and other residents.

Specialized for veterans and at-risk populations, the community provides quality, affordable housing, along with onsite supportive services.

For any developer seeking a joint venture partner in New Jersey, Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver pointed to the dozens of public housing agencies in cities and towns across the state.

The 2021 ROI Influencers: Women in Business list includes eight sector categories. They are another way we can honor the best women in the New Jersey business world.

March was Women’s History Month. It’s important we recognize the accomplishments of all women, but we found it crucial to highlight women in commercial real estate. Known as a male-dominated industry, there are women who have broken gender barriers and made huge strides. Below we cover nine women in the commercial real estate industry.

An upcoming seminar co-hosted by the Center for Real Estate at Rutgers Business School will highlight the issue of housing affordability — both at home and abroad.

Debra Tantleff, principal of Tantum Real Estate, and Amy Herbold, vice president for American Dream, were named as trustees to the Meadowlands Regional 2040 Foundation earlier this week.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the commercial real estate sector, but it didn’t stop it. The pandemic led to a pivot, one that still is impacting CRE today — and one that figures to do so in the months (even years) ahead.

As the housing industry looks to move beyond the coronavirus crisis, two female executives are poised to play prominent roles as board members of the New Jersey Builders Association.

Two prominent women in the real estate industry have joined the New Jersey Builders Association’s leadership team, the organization announced Monday.

We assembled a panel of industry experts to tackle this month’s question. Here’s what they had to say.

It wasn’t too long ago when a remark like “That’s a man’s job” was just accepted as the norm. For the longest time, the choices we made in the workforce were dictated not by an individual’s calibre but by their gender. 

You can’t have a real estate list in New Jersey without dozens of developers. Here are some of the most influential.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center hosted its fourth annual 9/11 commemoration, this year “Honoring Heroes for Tolerance,” at Yankee Stadium on August 18.

Red Bank, a riverfront town in New Jersey about 50 miles from Midtown Manhattan, had been sleeping on its laurels in terms of fostering new development, according to its mayor. But that's changing. The borough recently welcomed several new projects and has others in the works.

New Jersey Monthly magazine called it “the hippest town in New Jersey.” A few years later, the 12,000-resident borough landed on Smithsonian magazine’s list of the “hippest enclaves on the East Coast.”

It’s often mentioned in the same breath as Morristown and Montclair, but Red Bank has mostly lacked the type of new investment and mixed-use development seen by its northern counterparts.

Red Bank Mayor Pasquale Menna was thrilled.  As he stood beside Tantum Real Estate founder and President Debra Tantleff and development partner Joe Bezzone and cut a bright red ribbon signifying the grand opening of The Element at Red Bank, he said the boutique urban infill development will help change the heart of downtown Red Bank.

Finalizing a development process that began a dozen years ago, a new 35-unit apartment building made its debut in downtown Red Bank Wednesday.

RED BANK - The Element, an upscale 35-unit “boutique” apartment building marketed for well-heeled baby boomers and empty nesters, opened its doors Wednesday, marking another milestone in the downtown’s budding residential renaissance.

RED BANK, NJ – The Element apartments had their ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Red Bank Mayor Pat Menna, state senator Vin Gopal, former senator Joe Kyrillos and Freeholder Gerry Scharfenberger, and a host of other political and business notables. 

A joint venture has unveiled a boutique apartment building in downtown Red Bank, bringing new life to a long-vacant site and paving the way for additional redevelopment in the borough.

Career opportunities in commercial real estate run the gamut from architecture, asset management and investment banking to engineering and environmental science.

New Jersey has large-scale problems with its demographics and its real estate, but their solutions could come at the smallest of scales.

Migration from the suburbs to urban areas — a pattern that’s ruled for more than a decade — may finally be turning around, according to a report from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.

NEWARK, NJ—(SBN)—Municipalities may need to increase their expectations of how new multifamily construction will affect their schools, and probably should stop using a “one size fits all” model in determining the impact of multifamily construction on local school capacity, according to research released by The Center for Real Estate at Rutgers Business School.

The Center for Real Estate at Rutgers Business School announced the release of its first public policy white paper, “School-Age Children in Rental Units in New Jersey: Results from a Survey of Developers and Property Managers.”

The number of school-age children in multifamily housing units increases with the number of bedrooms, regardless of the residents’ income level and building product type. And, if income and bedrooms are fixed, it can be shown that denser properties will have fewer school-aged children.

A new study is shedding new light on a widespread, age-old debate between developers and local governments in New Jersey: Do new apartments mean new school-age children?

Going in opposite Riverside Gardens Park at 55 West Front Street is the Element,  a 35-unit apartment building with self-contained parking beneath an elevated patio for tenants.

After nearly two years of planning, a proposed mixed-use development near the border of Jersey City’s Greenville and Bergen-Lafayette neighborhoods has finally been approved.

RED BANK – The borough Zoning Board of Adjustment may have said “no” but the Planning Board said “yes” – after a little nudging from the Borough Council – for the upscale multistory apartment complex intended for the downtown.

RED BANK — A year ago, the borough's Zoning Board rejected a 35-unit apartment project planned for the heart of downtown. On Monday, the Planning Board approved essentially the same plan, after the proposal took an unorthodox path.

RED BANK — The borough council on Monday approved a redevelopment plan that allows up to 35 apartments to be built on a downtown parcel, despite continued protest from some on the council.

Packed with industry giants and power players, the advisory board of the Rutgers Business School Center for Real Estate has no shortage of leadership or experience. But the group wants to ensure its viability for decades to come, while connecting with the students it was meant to serve when it was formed last year.

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Debra Tantleff, founding principal of TANTUM Real Estate, is concerned about the economic forces that are combining to raise development costs across New Jersey, in urban infill and suburban redevelopment locations, and she’s trying to help local governments cope with that reality in her own development practice. Learn more in our exclusive audio interview.

RED BANK — The borough Zoning Board of Adjustment may cast the deciding vote for a project that could finally result in building on a long-vacant West Front Street lot.

It was nearly a decade ago when Debra Tantleff, then a young executive with Roseland Property Co., took a lead role in a project that would define the future of downtown Morristown. You might say it also did the same for her career.
