Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. Ranked #1 Provided of Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in New Jersey

Torrance, CA – December 10, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (Partner), a national engineering, environmental and energy consulting firm with offices in Eatontown and Ramsey, N.J., has been rated the number one service provider of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) in New Jersey and nationally for the third-quarter of 2013 by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) ScoreKeeper – the nationwide market monitor for the environmental due diligence industry.

“Environmental due diligence services, such as Phase I ESAs, are normally performed three to four weeks before commercial real estate transactions close,” said Frank Romeo, director of Partner’s East Coast operations. “As such, Phase I ESAs are a valuable indicator of commercial real estate and construction trends in the environmental due diligence industry.”

The number of Phase I ESA transactions in the North Atlantic region, which includes New Jersey, increased 52 percent, when compared with the third-quarter 2012 data.

“The need for Phase I ESAs has increased significantly this past year due to the move toward urban development and the need to remediate sites contaminated by past industrial development,” added Romeo. “This data further reinforces our strategy in the region, which is based upon the fact that industry activity is on the uptick.”

With 25 offices nationwide, Partner was also the first-ranked provider of Phase I ESAs performed statewide in Arizona, California, Nevada, Ohio and Texas.

Published by Environmental Data Resources, Inc., a national provider of data and applications for the property due diligence industry, the EDR ScoreKeeper report provides strategic and quantitative analysis of Phase I Environmental Site Assessment activity nationally, regionally and by state.
