MORRISTOWN, N.J., May 11, 2023 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $12.7 million sale of 150 College Rd. West, a Class A office building in Princeton, New Jersey.

JLL represented the seller, Nessel Development, in the sale of the property to New Jersey-based Strategic Funding Alternatives, LLC (SFA).  JLL’s Investment Sales and Advisory team advised on the seller financing.

This is the second JLL sale to SFA within two years, as well JLL’s second Princeton submarket office sale this year, having recently closed Crossroad Corporate Center in Lawrenceville. JLL’s previous office sales in the Princeton submarket include: 7&9 Roszel Road (two sales), 600 & 700 Alexander Park Road, 1 University Square and 800 Scudders Mill Road.

Built in 2001, 150 College Rd. West is a three-story boutique office building that is 69% leased to a diverse tenant roster, including a national health care and life sciences law firm and an engineering, construction management and environmental services firm.

150 College Rd. West is positioned on 7.64 acres along Rte. 1, the primary retail and office corridor in the Princeton submarket. The property is immediately adjacent to Princeton Forrestal Village, which features a Westin Hotel and high-end restaurants including Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and across from Princeton University’s James Forrestal Campus. The Princeton market is home to an affluent population with an average household income of more than $206,000, as well as some of the world’s leading finance, healthcare and R&D companies.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Jeremy Neuer, Jose Cruz, Kevin O'Hearn, Tom Romano and Alexander Alfier.

“This transaction was a true collaboration between the buyer and seller to consummate a closing in a challenging capital markets environment,” Neuer commented. “We look forward to working with both Nessel and SFA on future transactions.”
