Excessing Requests
Parties interested in land owned by NJ TRANSIT may submit inquiries to NJ TRANSIT's Real Estate and Economic Development Department to initiate a Real Property Excessing Review. Inquiries are welcome from municipalities, State agencies, business entities, or individuals. This process determines whether a property can, and under what conditions, be deemed excess to NJ TRANSIT's operations and made available for another use.
A request to initiate a Real Property Excessing Review by submitting the linked form. To expedite the process, requestors are encouraged to provide as much additional information regarding the property and its intended use as is available. Useful information includes specific identification of the property (Block/Lot/Address), an aerial map, survey, and description of the proposed use, including the duration of time the property is requested.
After an initial review confirming NJ TRANSIT’s ownership and the current property use, the proposal is reviewed by NJ TRANSIT’s internal operating departments and relevant stakeholders. This process typically takes two to three months. When the review is complete, a written determination is sent to the requestor indicating whether and under what initial terms and conditions the proposal can be further considered. The notice requests that the requestor acknowledge these initial terms by signing and returning the notification. The matter is then assigned to the appropriate real estate personnel and legal counsel to complete negotiations and execution of appropriate documents. The terms of the letter are valid for 120 days and NJ TRANSIT will not be obliged to complete the transaction if final terms cannot be agreed.
If a property is deemed available, NJ TRANSIT will determine an appropriate transfer mechanism (i.e. Request for Proposal/Qualifications/Bids (RFP/Q/B) or through a direct lease or license). For properties containing a Federal Interest, NJ TRANSIT will facilitate necessary Federal Transit Administration approvals.
If the subject property is adjacent to NJ TRANSIT facilities, current and future access may warrant consideration. For any property currently utilized as an existing surface parking lot adjacent to a NJ TRANSIT station, replacement parking will be contemplated as part of the review process. Properties identified for potential TOD or Joint Development initiatives may also require conformance with local land use planning and economic development goals. Where development projects are consistent with land use plans and objectives, Real Estate staff will collaborate with the host municipality to solicit, identify and advance proposals to develop the subject property.
