RED BANK, NJ – (Feb. 19, 2025) – First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a leading national private equity commercial real estate firm, closed 2024 with impressive leasing performance and continued portfolio expansion, positioning itself for an opportunistic 2025. Despite market challenges, FNRP executed its investment strategy, achieving key milestones across its portfolio.
