The basics:

• RIPCO Real Estate opens new office in Red Bank, expanding NJ footprint
• Location will serve Monmouth County; Central, South Jersey markets
• Office supports leasing, investment sales, advisory services
• Expansion follows active retail, investment deals across the region

RIPCO Real Estate is expanding its reach into Central Jersey with the launch of a new Red Bank office.

According to the New York-based commercial real estate brokerage, the move signifies continued growth, as well as strengthens its local presence.

The new office at 2-10 Broad St. will provide a strategic hub for brokerage and advisory services across Monmouth County along with the wider Central and South Jersey markets, RIPCO said. It will support leasing, investment sales, and debt/structured finance and management services. Michael Fasano serves as team leader, a company spokesperson told NJBIZ.

The firm also noted the new space will help strengthen relationships with current customers throughout the Garden State.

“Establishing a dedicated office in Red Bank allows us to better serve our clients while continuing to expand our footprint in markets we already serve,” said RIPCO Real Estate President Mark Kaplan. “Monmouth County and the Jersey Shore region continue to see strong retail growth and investment, and Red Bank has become one of the state’s most dynamic downtown destinations.

“By establishing a presence here, we’re positioning our team closer to our clients and opportunities across the region.”

Monmouth is the state’s sixth-most populous county, with more than 647,000 residents, according to a February 2026 report from the state Department of Labor & Workforce Development. It ranks eighth in gross domestic product at $42 billion.

Recently coming on board at CRE firm Denholtz, new CEO Katie Kurtz also called attention to Monmouth County’s rising profile speaking to NJBIZ last year. That business is also based in Red Bank.

RIPCO’s recent activity in the area is significant, both in scope and for the businesses it supports. Some of firm’s latest retail leasing and sales assignments include Sprouts Farmers Market, Boot Barn, Restaurant Depot, Crunch Fitness and Texas Roadhouse in Toms River; Paris Baguette in Red Bank and Toms River; Take 5 Oil Change in Brick; and CubeSmart, CarMax, Circle Motorsports and Total Wine in Eatontown.

The team has also closed multiple investment sales, such as TD Bank property sales in Holmdel, Manahawkin and Spring Lake. It also arranged the sale of a building to Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace for its new location in Tinton Falls, RIPCO said.

With a collective team of more than 210 real estate professionals, RIPCO boasts nine offices across its footprint. In addition to Red Bank, RIPCO has another New Jersey office in Woodbury. According to the company, it has leased and sold over 40 million square feet of commercial space.
