CJS Investments performs a full range of development services including parcel study, site acquisition, engineering, and construction management. In addition, our estate home
division builds the highest quality homes. Our commercial holdings provide our tenants with professional, convenient, and state-of-the-art facilities.
Commercial
Holdings:
Our commercial division produces
state of the art, Class A office and retail centers unmatched in both aesthetics
and serviceability. We are unique in that our buildings appeal to
and provide for individual communities and regions throughout the tri-state and
New England areas. Our tenant base caters to all size clients. CJS
Investments is very cognizant of the community around us. As such, we take
into consideration the impact our buildings have on traffic volume, etc.
The result is that we provide buildings that are important ratables to townships
while still serving to improve the quality of life for the community around us.
 Agency Approvals:
Our
in house legal and engineering departments take raw land from zone
changes to final agency approvals. Working with local officials,
we strive to develop sites that are consistent with the goals of
the municipalities while at the same time ensuring an economically
viable product. These internal departments of CJS Investments provide
the resources and ability to give each project the utmost attention
it deserves. This commitment to detail results in our being able
to manage local and state approvals at an unmatched pace. CJS Investments also
utilizes a custom internal database to track the status of all approvals
and permits.
 Project
Cost Estimates:
CJS
Investments' estimating department uses state of the art technology
to perform cost analysis of all sites. No pipe is overlooked, no street tree unaccounted for. Our estimators prepare complete
breakdowns of all project costs, including hard costs and soft costs.
Furthermore, our in house staff enables us to ensure that all projects
are value engineered to maximize returns. By having an in-house
estimating department, CJS Investments controls the pace by which
sites are evaluated, which supports and provides the land acquisition
department with the necessary information required to aggressively
seek properties.
Site Management:
Our
company's site management department provides the necessary on-site
field support to ensure that all aspects of construction occur smoothly
and accurately. CJS Investments is aware that our projects affect
the community around us. In that vein, our attention to detail and
control over each project allows us to provide a superior product
in the most cost effective manner. This also allows the production
of end products within time frames that far exceed industry standards,
thereby enabling us to develop strong working relationships with
municipalities and townships.
Land
Development:

Our land development division provides fully improved buildable lots for large corporations. We have pioneered the relationship
that an end builder has to a site. Publicly held companies derive
great financial benefit by avoiding inventory excesses and loss
of other opportunity while maintaining corporate sales quotas by
buying fully improved lots ready to build. CJS Investments has a
diversified staff experienced in all aspects of site work and construction,
including earthwork; utility installation; dredging; bulkhead; shore
protection; pump stations; bridges; landscaping; playgrounds; etc.
CJS is able to apply its expertise to develop a site in the most
cost effective manner.
Land
Acquisition:
The land acquisition team at CJS Investments determines
the suitability of sites through a streamlined internal decision
process that considers market conditions, challenges and
opportunities. Every aspect of a site is examined including adherence
to zoning ordinances, impacts to surrounding communities, the environment, and demand
for product. The land acquisition professionals at CJS Investments
use the latest technologies, information, and software to evaluate potential sites.
This, coupled with CJS Investments' strong relationships with real
estate and industry professionals allows us to be both aggressive
and expeditious in our land acquisition pursuits.
 Estate
Homes:
Our
estate home division produces some of the area's most exquisite
houses. As is consistent with our reputation, we provide the very
best quality of products and services in each of our homes. CJS
Investments' construction division oversees all phases of construction
and building. This, coupled with our site management division, allows
us to produce superior products.
Land Holdings:
CJS’s
land holdings division enables public companies to take their equity
out of real estate inventory and reinvest it into operations and
other opportunities. This, in turn provides much higher overall
returns. Specifically, CJS Investments purchases property that is
currently owned or under contract to purchase by public companies
and simultaneously enters into contract to resell the same properties
over a long-term period. Because CJS Investments takes title to
the property, public companies are able to eliminate it from their
inventory. This strengthens their capital turnover; debt to equity
ratios; and stock prices. This division also allows public companies
the benefit of a stronger cash position such as the ability to purchase
other properties and /or generate additional opportunities and profit.
