Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. Ranked Leading Environmental Due Diligence Firm in New Jersey

Feb. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Torrance, CA --- Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. was ranked number one in environmental site assessments and other associated reporting in the state of New Jersey for the fourth quarter of 2012 according to EDR Scorekeeper announced Partner President Joseph Derhake, PE.

Environmental Data Resources (EDR) publishes quarterly reports that provide data of national environmental due diligence firms’ ordering in each state. EDR Scorekeeper provides a comparison and ranking of each firm in relation to each other.

A Phase I ESA is performed in order to evaluate the environmental liability associated with a real estate asset either for the lender who is considering making a loan or for a prospective buyer.  The EDR Scorekeeper reports provide data as to increases and decreases of Phase I ESA ordering in each state. This data is a clear indicator as to commercial real estate activity in each state. Data that shows an increase in ordering of reports in a state gives the CRE market an accurate expectation of increased real estate transactions.

Partner East Coast Operations Director and National Client Manager, Frank Romeo, notes that New Jersey has been experiencing a steady increase in commercial real estate transactions for some time and attributes it to many facilitating factors. “New Jersey is on the forefront in commercial transactions. People are ready to buy again and banks are ready to lend again,” according to Romeo.
