The Summer 2026 issue of Real Estate NJ highlights several of the most significant projects, initiatives, and industry developments shaping the state’s commercial real estate market. We are proud to share that Murphy Schiller & Wilkes LLP (MSW) is featured throughout the publication, reflecting the breadth of our work, the strength of our team, and our continued growth as a leading advisor in the New Jersey real estate industry.

While recognition is always appreciated, these features tell a larger story. They underscore MSW’s increasing role in some of New Jersey’s most complex and transformative real estate projects and our commitment to delivering exceptional results for clients across every sector of the market.

Counsel on the Transformative Red Bank Train Station Redevelopment

One of the issue’s featured stories highlights the Denholtz Red Bank Train Station Redevelopment Project, a landmark public-private partnership that is poised to reshape downtown Red Bank.

MSW is serving as lead counsel in connection with the transaction with NJ TRANSIT, handling the purchase and sale agreements, ground lease arrangements, asset transfers, and related transactional matters. The project also showcases the depth of our multidisciplinary real estate platform. Tom Garlick is leading entitlement and land use efforts, with support from Chris Murphy, while Brendan Pytka is overseeing the PILOT structure and the approximately $90 million Aspire Tax Credit application process.

Projects of this scale require seamless coordination among transaction, land use, government incentives, and public-sector stakeholders. The Red Bank redevelopment exemplifies the collaborative approach that has become a hallmark of MSW’s real estate practice.

Advising on Major Industrial Leasing Activity

The issue also includes coverage of the SNS Real Estate Investment lease transaction on page 16, another significant matter in which MSW represented key interests. Industrial and logistics assets remain a critical component of New Jersey’s commercial real estate market, and transactions of this nature demonstrate both the continued strength of the sector and MSW’s ability to guide clients through sophisticated leasing arrangements.

As demand for strategically located industrial space continues to evolve, our team remains focused on helping owners, investors, and tenants navigate complex negotiations and achieve their business objectives.

Supporting the Future of the Industry

Another feature highlights the launch of the NJIT Profeta Real Estate Center, an important initiative designed to strengthen education, research, and industry engagement within New Jersey’s commercial real estate community.

MSW is proud to support efforts that help cultivate the industry’s next generation of leaders. Chris Murphy was honored to be featured in the article as a member of the Center’s Board of Directors, reflecting both his personal commitment and the firm’s broader dedication to the advancement of the real estate profession.

Educational institutions and industry partnerships play a vital role in ensuring the continued growth and success of the commercial real estate sector, and we are excited to be involved in this important endeavor.

Expanding Our Platform and Capabilities

The publication also recognizes the continued growth of our firm, including the addition of Daniel Perlman, Eric Alvarez, Paige Guarino, and Michael Higgins to the MSW team.

Attracting exceptional talent has been a central component of our growth strategy. As our client base expands and transactions become increasingly sophisticated, we remain committed to building a platform that provides clients with experienced legal counsel across a broad range of practice areas.

These additions further strengthen our ability to serve developers, investors, lenders, institutions, public entities, and businesses throughout New Jersey and beyond.

More Than Recognition, A Reflection of Momentum

The multiple appearances of MSW throughout Real Estate NJ are not isolated achievements. Rather, they reflect a broader trend that we are experiencing across the firm.

We continue to advise on increasingly complex and high-profile matters, earn the trust of leading market participants, and play a central role in projects that are helping to shape New Jersey’s future. This momentum is driven by one fundamental factor: the quality of our people and the excellence of their work.

Every successful transaction, development approval, financing, lease, and strategic initiative requires collaboration across practices and departments. The accomplishments highlighted in this issue are the result of countless contributions from attorneys, paralegals, administrative professionals, and support staff working together to achieve outstanding results for our clients.

As we look ahead, we remain energized by the opportunities before us and grateful for the trust our clients place in us. We are proud of what our team has accomplished and even more excited about what lies ahead.
