Joseph DeMarco, the Somerset County Counsel, has joined Scarinci Hollenbeck as a partner.
“Joe DeMarco is a Deal Maker. Make no doubt about it. Land use regulations, municipal ordinances, and politics are often central to the success of New Jersey real estate transactions, areas in which Joe brings extensive experience,” said Donald Scarinci, the managing partner. “His hands-on redevelopment experience, industry insight, and commitment to public service are a tremendous asset to the firm.”
DeMarco became Somerset County Democratic vice chairman in 2022 after Zenon Christodoulou resigned to join the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. He is a former Bernardsville councilman who served as administrator in Bayonne and West New York.
“Having worked both in government and alongside private developers, I’ve seen firsthand how complex and time-sensitive redevelopment projects can be,” said DeMarco. “Joining Scarinci Hollenbeck’s Real Estate team gives me the opportunity to put that experience to work in a way that helps clients navigate challenges and achieve their vision for transformative projects. I am excited to bring my unique perspective to the team.”
