Dear Dan,
The real estate season is starting:

  • Trenton Ferry Open House
  • Broad St. Bank Model Apartment
  • An Apartment Warming
  • Real Estate Investment Support Group
  • Dan on Residency
  • Ellarslie Open
Trenton Ferry Open House
 
The fine folks at HHG Development have scheduled an open house this coming weekend for their Trenton Ferry Properties, Everett's Corner and The Cracker Factory. The developments are a block from each other so if you come down to Trenton to see one, you can see both.

The event is Sunday, April 6 from 1-5. You'll want to go to either 102 Centre St. or 242 Centre St. The buildings in question are pretty obvious as they have big "Lofts for Sale" signs hanging from them and lots of construction activity in evidence.

Model Apartment Open in Broad St. Bank
 
The new marketing regime at the Broad St. Bank is apparently on the ball. I've received a new logo and pics of the model apartment.

Please do take another look at the site and if you're in the market for high rise rental in the city give John Masso a call.

Apartment Warming
  Gail Johnson's party at BSB
This month I get to be a bit of a social page reporter. Gail Johnson held her apartment warming at the Broad St. Bank building last weekend. She has a lovely two bedroom space with an open kitchen and living area configuration. She's also got windows on three sides of her apartment and can see north to Princeton, well west into Pennsylvania and east past Hamilton. It was a lovely catered affair.

The mix of people included some of the Trenton regulars Gail has befriended including Brian Hill of the Trenton City Museum and his wife Lin, Anne Labate of Segal Commercial Realty, political activists Zac and Alysia Welch-Chester and of course Michelle, Alexander and me. Into the mix Gail threw old friends from around the state and New York and several Princeton University colleagues.

The discussion was lively and all agreed that the Broad St. Bank is a good step towards a more lively downtown Trenton.

South Jersey Investors Club
  Mercer County Subgroup Metamorphisis
The world of real estate investing includes everything from the family who rents out a house they used to live in, to multi-billion dollar holding companies and everything in between. There are a myriad of niche players as well who offer services in support of investors.

The investors on the Trenton Lofts list are well aware of this and probably trend towards the "in between". South Jersey Investors is a support club made up of investors from throughout the bottom half of the state. Recently Matt & Liz Faircloth helped to form a Mercer County subgroup of this organization which meets the 4th Thursday of the month in the Trenton Makes Building at 449 S. Broad St. in Trenton.

The agenda is part networking and part presentation, generally from a vendor of interest or some other group that has a useful message. Maybe, someday I'll explain Trenton Lofts to the group.

Anyhow, I've joined the group and enjoy going and suspect some reading this may as well.

The next meeting is April 24th and the topic will be a panel discussion on "Buying Foreclosures". How can you not love that! The meeting is held starting at 6:30 in The Skyline Room of Trenton Makes (aka The Conduit).

Hope to see you there and if you do come please find me and let me meet you.

Dan on Trenton's Residency Rule
  Another Letter to the Editor
I've finally weighed in on the issue of Trenton's residency requirement and the sticky issue of whether Trenton's Police Director should be bound by it. My article is in the form of a Trenton Times Letter to the Editor which as of yet hasn't been published.
Ellarslie Open
 
It's time once again for the famous Ellarslie Open at the Trenton City Museum in beautiful Cadwalder Park. The highly competitive juried show draws rock star level crowds for the opening which is open to the public and free. I've said it before but Ellarslie is the cultural and social center of Trenton and the Open is its premier event.

I encourage those of you who live here or are considering it to attend the Ellarslie Open reception

Time: April 26, 6-9
Location: Ellarslie Mansion, Cadwalder Park
