Our Principals

Bernie Adler graduated from Ohio University with a BS in engineering in 1960, and in 1963 started his first company, B&A Construction. Through the decades, he transformed his firm into Adler Development, to reflect his expanded capabilities in commercial real estate development, management and leasing. Bernie still loves construction and particularly enjoys that aspect of the business.

Joshua Adler joined the company in 1996 after working with his father, Bernie, during the previous five summers. He is responsible for directing the overall strategic growth of the company and is involved in acquisitions, leasing, financing, property management and development activity. Joshua earned a BA in economics from Connecticut College and a masters degree from New York University, with a concentration in real estate investment. He is a member of the board of New Jersey NAIOP and previously chaired the National NAIOP Industrial Development Forum.

Seth Adler joined the company in 2003 after working for Myriad Restaurant Group in New York City. He is responsible for property management, construction and leasing, as well as directing Adler Development’s internal operations. He received a BS from the Cornell University Hotel Management School and an MS in Real Estate from New York University. Seth co-chairs New Jersey NAIOP’s Energy & Sustainability Committee.
