Riker Danzig's Real Estate Group was featured in the New Jersey Law Journal's October 24, 2025 article with a Q&A featuring Nicholas Racioppi Jr., Chair of the Firm's Real Estate Group, along with partners Joshua M. Greenfield and James M. Maggio, Jr.
The group emphasized their business-practical approach to transactions. "The most important ingredient in a successful real estate practice is to have a business practical approach when representing your clients' interests. The first priority in every matter must be to keep the client's business needs and goals in mind at every step, while also protecting them from a legal perspective," Nick noted. He added that the "hardest thing in a real estate transaction is to actually find the property, which is the client's job; real estate that will convert into a profitable project is highly sought after. Once they find the ideal property, our job is then to make sure we bring it to the finish line, accomplishing the client's objectives in getting that deal closed."
Post-COVID market trends include continued demand in industrial warehousing and logistics, and a reimagining of commercial office space. Companies are redesigning spaces for hoteling arrangements and adding amenities as flexible work schedules become standard.
The team highlighted their work on the Crow Holdings redevelopment at Carteret as a standout achievement—transforming 126 acres of abandoned brownfields into a world-class 1.2 million square foot industrial campus that is now completely leased.
