SAGE INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE ADVISORS CLOSES FOUR BERGEN COUNTY INVESTMENT SALES ACROSS MULTIPLE ASSET CLASSES
Firm’s Hands-On Advisory Approach Emphasizes Consistent Execution and Transaction Stability Through Closing
BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. (October 26, 2026) – SAGE Investment Real Estate Advisors (SAGE) recently completed four individual middle-market transactions across Bergen County, demonstrating continued steady investment activity across the region’s multifamily, mixed-use and medical-office sectors. Led by co-founders Steve Tragash and Greg Pine, the investment brokerage firm orchestrated the disposition of 64 residential units, four street-level retail spaces and an 11,104-square-foot medical-office building, emphasizing consistent execution and transaction stability from initial engagement through closing.
“Having advised clients across Bergen County for more than 25 years, I’ve seen firsthand how this market has performed through changing economic cycles,” said Pine. “The county’s proximity to New York City, established residential communities and strong underlying fundamentals have supported – and will continue to support – enduring investor interest.”
The transactions included a two-building garden-apartment community in Dumont; Bergenfield’s Simone Place Apartments; a downtown mixed-use, two-building portfolio featuring active commercial frontage; and Bergenfield Medical Arts, a high-visibility commercial property. Partners Tragash and Pine, along with Principal Eli Herskowitz, provided seller-side representation and procured each of the buyers. Associate Katie Migner and Broker Assistant Jenna Fiorelli are also part of the firm’s expanding advisory team.
“These sales illustrate the depth of capital demand and the spectrum of opportunities across Bergen County’s infill submarkets,” said Tragash. “Every asset presented a distinct operational narrative – from classic value-add residential properties with clear upside potential to stabilized mixed-use real estate and a healthcare-anchored commercial center. Engineering a strategy tailored to each asset’s unique profile was essential to delivering optimal outcomes for our clients.”
In Dumont, SAGE facilitated the sale of Grant Avenue Apartments, a 24-unit apartment community spanning two three-story buildings. Situated in the borough’s central business district along the Washington Avenue corridor, the property offers access to Routes 4 and 17, local transit lines and NJ Transit’s nearby River Edge and Emerson stations.
Continuing its brokerage activity in adjacent Bergenfield, SAGE completed three additional transactions spanning multifamily, mixed-use and medical-office real estate. The residential transactions featured the sale of Simone Place Apartments, a 17-unit property offering studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts with a distinctive Mansard-style exterior facade, and the sale of a 23-residential-unit mixed-use portfolio at 46 Legion Drive and 41 S. Washington Ave., which includes four ground-floor retail suites fronting the latter address. Both properties benefit from downtown walkability, access to local schools and connectivity to regional transportation routes.
“Ever-mindful that market stability is only part of the equation, when we’re representing clients – including multigenerational family ownership or private investors in particular – our responsibility is to bring that same sense of stability to the transaction itself,” added Pine. “We do this by providing clear guidance, consistent communication and the experience needed to navigate each stage through closing.”
Rounding out the regional activity, SAGE orchestrated the sale of Bergenfield Medical Arts, a two-story professional facility located at 136 N. Washington Ave. Constructed in 2008, the multi-tenant building features elevator service, dedicated surface parking and anchor tenancy associated with Bergen New Bridge Medical Center's northeast Bergen County satellite location.
The asset is positioned within a dense employment hub supported by regional healthcare institutions and corporations, including Hackensack Meridian University Medical Center, Valley Health System, Englewood Health, BioReference, Quest Diagnostics, KPMG, BestFoods and Fairleigh Dickinson University.
