IVAX was represented in the deal by Kenneth D. Lundberg, senior vice president of the Hackensack, NJ-based NAI James E. Hanson Inc. The owner of the flex property, Northvale 97 Associates, a local partnership group, was repped by William Scully of the Bernardsville, NJ-based Hampshire Management. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
