Wilentz Served as Counsel on $3.5 Billion Acquisition of Veris Residential

Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A. was part of the Team of attorneys that served as counsel to Affinius Capital and Vista Hill Partners in connection with the $3.5 billion acquisition of Veris Residential, Inc.

Headquartered in Jersey City, Veris Residential owns and operates a portfolio of Class A multifamily properties across the Northeast, including key markets in New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. The transaction marks the culmination of the company’s multi‑year transition, following its earlier transformation from Mack-Cali Realty Corp.

The Wilentz Real Estate/Redevelopment Team provided legal counsel on due diligence matters related to the Veris Residential properties located in Jersey City, Harrison, and Millburn, working alongside a team of financial advisors and law firms.
