Greek Development Hires 17 New Employees, Opens New Corporate HQ

NJ-based industrial developer has doubled in size since Q4 of 2021, as industrial projects in prime submarkets near completion

On Jul 6, 2022

Greek Development — a vertically-integrated real estate firm focused on industrial development — has announced the hiring of 17 new team members, in addition to the opening of its new 14,000-square-foot corporate office in East Brunswick.

Both the new office and additions to its team have come during the first half of 2022, as the 80-year-old business continues to scale its operations to keep pace with the explosion of demand for industrial product across New Jersey.

The new hires, which have helped to expand nearly every area of Greek’s business, are as follows:

• Project Management – Robert Sprang, Marshall Failing, Rick Jehn, Bill McNelis, Ian Penrose, Jim Turp and Jon Feti
• Accounting – Michel Manaweel, Reese Buchan, Tina Strachan, and Krishna Patel
• Development – Habib Popal
• Corporate Safety – Stephen Rudd
• Office Administration – Lindsay Oliveira and Nicole Kazar
• Property Management – Joanne Behr and Ronald Gauthier

Greek’s total staff has doubled in size since 2017, as it continues to expand its industrial warehouse portfolio across New Jersey, select areas of Pennsylvania, and Orange County, N.Y., and has consistently hired talent across multiple departments within Greek’s vertically-integrated firm.

To accommodate its growing team, Greek also relocated from its 7,700-square-foot office to a new 14,095-square-foot outpost, a project which was managed and designed by Greek’s internal Project Management team. The new office features a kitchen/lounge area that fits over 80 people comfortably, as well as four conference rooms.

“We know that a major factor in successfully broadening Greek Development’s reach and influence is our ability to hire and retain the industry’s best talent,” said David Greek, Managing Partner of Greek Development. “We take pride in our ability to form positions around the professionals we meet and connect with, rather than trying to fit them into a particular role – and our incredible success during the first half of 2022 is a testament to this approach. All of our new hires will play integral roles in ensuring Greek continues to grow and expand our first-class development, construction and management offerings.”

Greek is currently constructing the 4-million-square-foot Linden Logistics Center in Linden, as well as the 3.2-million-square-foot Logan North Industrial Park — the home of Target’s largest distribution operation on the East Coast – in Logan Township.
