NAIOP New Jersey honored some of the real estate industry’s top names recently at its Annual President’s Awards and Hall of Fame Dinner.
The organization, the state’s chapter of a national commercial real estate trade association, announced its volunteer winners and inducted its Hall of Famers earlier this month at the Short Hills Hilton.
“Our volunteers and staff work hand-in-hand on behalf of our industry members, and their success is reflected in our current record-high membership of over 750,” chapter President Dave Gibbons of Elberon Development Group said in a prepared statement. “I thank each and every member who dedicates their time and considerable talents to support the vital work of our association.”
