Summer Street Advisors Retained for Due Diligence Process in $64 Million Mixed-Use Development

Analytic Process Essential to On-Going Deal for 217,000 sq ft. property in New Jersey

Westport, CT (April 9, 2015) – Jack Mullen, Founder and Managing Director of Summer Street Advisors (“SSA”), recently led his team in performing due diligence and related financial reviews in connection with the $64 million acquisition of a retail complex with office, retail, and movie theater in New Jersey.

Summer Street Advisors was retained by the purchaser based on their proven track record in financial reviews, including expertise in abstracting leases, review and verification of financial underwriting, and analysis of property cash flow and expenses for comparison against documentation and projections.

“Our reputation for comprehensive analysis, coupled with our ability to identify risks and offer insights, brought this particular client to us for the first time,” Jack Mullen commented. “Because of complexities within the deal as a whole, the due diligence component required knowledge beyond traditional business analytics and reporting capabilities,” said Mullen.

“Timelines are crucial in this type of deal,” continued Mullen, “and even with the challenges of a two-week completion deadline, we were able to provide our client with a thorough analysis and business summary that enabled the client to close on the purchase of this property in Q1 2015.”
