By: Amy Rohrbeck Prism purchased the 700 Blair Road building from BASF Corporation in an all cash transaction. Subsequently, the firm secured $7.3 million in financing from TD Bank to complete base building improvements for Berjé, which leased the property on a long-term basis. Berjé will be constructing approximately 30,000 square feet for their Executive offices, and research and development laboratories. "This structured approach falls in line with our firm's history of value-add acquisitions and prudent leveraging," Berjé, a 60-year-old, family-owned business supplies the flavor, fragrance, pharmaceutical and allied trades. It maintains satellite offices in Los Angeles and Chicago. The firm's space at 700 Blair Road will include 200,000 square feet of warehouse spaces and 30,000 square feet of office accommodations. Currently, the firm occupies 150,000 square feet at 5 Lawrence St. in Bloomfield, part of a 113-year-old, former General Electric Company industrial property that will become Parkway Lofts. Prism is readying to begin construction on Phase I of the project, which includes the conversion of the 365,000-square- "Berjé is the last remaining tenant at 5 Lawrence Street," Diaz said. "Its relocation represents a milestone for Parkway Lofts and one of the final steps in preparing the site for redevelopment. This signature project represents not only a major transformation of an iconic, but dated, industrial property, but the rebirth of an entire neighborhood." # # # About Prism Capital Partners, LLC: Headquartered in Englewood, N.J., Prism Capital Partners is an experienced real estate investment company with a proven track record of creating value through select real estate investments and developments.
