Founded in West Orange in 1979 by Peter Cocoziello, Advance Realty Investors is a premier developer of creative real estate solutions – unlocking value across all real estate classes. “We have been reimagining real estate for over four decades and remain committed to excellence in each of our market segments,” said Cocoziello. “Our forward-thinking approach combined with deep-rooted experience enables us to create innovative, sustainable, high-quality assets and communities suited for tomorrow’s lifestyles.” That approach centers on vision, creativity, adding value, and forging trusted, long-term relationships with the investor, broker, tenant and local communities. Today, Advance owns, manages, or has invested in a 15 million-square-foot portfolio of properties that is diversified across all asset classes. While Cocoziello serves as founder and CEO, several other family members hold leadership positions including Peter Cocoziello Jr. – principal and managing director, Strategic Business Unit; Alexander Cocoziello – principal, chief investment officer; and Daniel Cocoziello – principal, chief operating officer. Advance Realty Investors has been based in Bedminster for the last 30 years – and this summer marked the start of the municipality’s first new office development in 20 years, establishing a new build-to-suit headquarters for Freshpet.
