We are very excited about this opportunity and its potential to contribute value for our investors, commented Steve DeNardo, Chief Executive Officer of RiverOak. Harlem is enjoying a resurgence that has fostered significant commercial investment in the area and continues to attract a well-educated workforce. Vacancy is low and demand is expected to remain high due to a lack of new supply, a growing population and soaring rents south of Harlem.
