Greater Philadelphia, March 22, 2005― Metro Commercial Real Estate, Inc., Greater Philadelphia’s premier full-service retail real estate company, has been honored with three NJPA Real Estate Journal ‘Best of 2004’ awards. Metro Commercial was named the second ‘Best Place to Work’ in the New Jersey-Pennsylvania region; Metro’s recent sale of an 80-acre retail property in Mt. Laurel, N.J., anchored by Target, was named one of the ‘Best Retail Leases’; and broker Paul Rumley was ranked among the ‘Top 10 Brokers’ of 2004.
The NJPA Real Estate Journal is the region’s leading publication covering the selling and leasing of commercial properties, promoting services for owners, developers, investors, and brokers.
