R.J. Brunelli & Co. has forged a new brokerage alliance with Nancy Mozzachio, a longtime real estate executive and consultant, seeking to expand its landlord representation platform in southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Old Bridge-based firm, which focuses primarily on retail space, said Mozzachio will serve as a senior consulting broker to its team while drawing on more than three decades of leadership in real estate leasing, redevelopment and operations. She has represented institutional and private ownership throughout her career, Brunelli said, adding that her expertise spans retail portfolio strategy, merchandising, asset repositioning and value creation for shopping center owners.
Additionally, the brokerage said it has formed a strategic relationship with Mozzachio’s Sine Qua Non Real Estate Advisors, a Washington Township-based firm providing an array of development and operations services to retail and mixed-use developers, property owners and investors. The business also provides economic development consulting services for municipalities.
“We are delighted to form this alliance with Nancy and welcome her to our team as we continue to grow our landlord representation platform,” said Danielle Brunelli, president and principal of R.J. Brunelli & Co. “Nancy is widely respected throughout the retail real estate industry. Her depth of experience, strategic insight, longstanding relationships with many of the industry’s leading retailers, developers and property owners and collaborative approach make Nancy an exceptional addition to our firm. We are excited about the opportunities this relationship creates for our presence throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.”
Mozzachio founded Sine Qua Non Real Estate Advisors in 2017 after 15 years with American Continental Properties and 13 years with Cedar Realty Trust, according to a news release. In the latter role, she rose to chief operating officer while operating 178 retail and mixed-use properties with 20 million square feet of gross leasable area in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.
Meanwhile, building on her mentorship efforts with women in real estate and finance, Mozzachio launched a podcast in 2021, the news release said. With nearly 90 episodes aired on all channels where podcasts are played, The Mozzachio List features interviews with prominent female executives in real estate and finance.
“I’m honored to be working alongside Danielle and the talented professionals at R.J. Brunelli,” Mozzachio said. “The firm has earned an outstanding reputation for integrity, market knowledge and client service. I look forward to leveraging my experiences and relationships to help retail property owners maximize the performance of their assets while contributing to the continued growth of R.J. Brunelli’s landlord representation business.”
Brunelli added that the strategic relationship with Sine Qua Non Real Estate Advisors opens the door for R.J. Brunelli to offer new development and operational services to its landlord clients, the news release said. Among other offerings, the advisory firm works with clients to vet markets for new development and vets and suggests local professionals such as planners, architects and engineers, all while providing insider knowledge on navigating municipal governments, planning and zoning boards and available economic incentives.
On the real estate operations side, the firm’s services include:
Evaluation of current management and accounting software and lease pipeline progress systems
Review and/or establishment of tenant coordination processes
Evaluation of property management procedures and standardized leasing tools
Review or initiation of data scrubbing processes
Evaluation of credit tools
“Teaming up with Nancy’s firm provides exciting opportunities for us to assist our landlord clients with a wide range of new services for development, redevelopment and company operations,” Brunelli said. “We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.”
