SOMERSET, N.J., Dec. 1, 2008 – Charles Logan, vice president of The Industrial and Office Real Estate Brokers Association of the New York Metropolitan Area (IOREBA), recently welcomed four new members, each representing a different real estate-related field.

The members include Gary Albrecht of Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., (Hackensack), a law firm which counts several real estate and construction firms among its clientele; Stephen Scott of Frank A. Greek & Son, Inc. (East Brunswick), industrial real estate developers since 1934; Andrew Coward of New Millennium Bank (East Brunswick), generating commercial, mortgage and consumer loans; and Joseph Mele of Langan Engineering (Elmwood Park), an engineering and environmental consulting firm.

IOREBA is one of the nation’s largest regional commercial real estate trade groups. From an original 33 members in 1927 who hailed from New York City, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark, IOREBA has grown to more than 300 members located throughout NJ, NY, PA, CT and other states. This year the organization set a goal of increasing membership by 10 to 15 percent, and it is well on its way to meeting that goal.

“These four new members represent diverse fields related to industrial and office real estate brokerage, and in each case they represent some of the most successful and competitive businesses in the region,” said IOREBA Vice President David Violette.

“We are very selective in our membership, and we have a rigorous approval process. But we also provide members with valuable industry-related educational, training and networking opportunities.”

“We are pleased to welcome these new members and hope to see many more in the coming months,” added Logan.

IOREBA, which encourages the highest standard of ethical, moral and professional conduct by its members, holds monthly meetings featuring distinguished guest speakers, and its popular annual events include a Developer’s Night and a Golf, Tennis & Dinner Outing. Additionally, IOREBA awards substantial cash scholarships annually to undergraduates studying real estate at universities and colleges in its member states.
