BNE is a Livingston-based real estate developer, owner and manager.

“In the four months since we opened the doors to residents, The Green has helped propel downtown Bloomfield’s emergence as one of the most sought-after transit-oriented neighborhoods in New Jersey,” Jonathan Schwartz, executive partner of BNE, said in a statement. “We’re extremely excited to have Ripco take the lead in bringing in a mix of retail tenants that will only enhance the energy and appeal of this rapidly developing area.”
