<p><strong>Ronald and Cindy McMackin</strong> of Pan-Pacific Mechanical have purchased the new six-bedroom, Intracoastal-to-ocean estate — with approximately 21,000 total square feet — at <strong>1660 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan</strong>. <br /> The purchase price was recorded at $38.875 million, making it the highest-priced sale in Manalapan in 2020, and the highest price ever recorded for an Intracoastal-to-ocean property in Manalapan.<br /> The seller was 1660 S. Ocean LLC, which is managed by <strong>Stewart A. Satter</strong>, a Manalapan town commissioner. <br /> Tom Benedict of the Benedict Group was the architect and Robert Burrage of RWB Construction was the general contractor. The estate spans 150 feet along the Intracoastal and the ocean, with amenities such as a lakeside pool, 10-car garage, private beach tunnel under State Road A1A, loggia with a summer kitchen, and lower level spa and exercise room.<br /> It is fully furnished by Marc-Michaels Interior Design.<br /> <strong>Pascal Liguori</strong> listed the contemporary-style estate at $44.85 million on Nov. 10. It went under contract eight days later, and closed Dec. 30.<br /> The transaction was recorded on Jan. 5.<br /> Broker <strong>Lawrence Moens</strong> of Lawrence A. Moens Associates represented the McMackins.<br /> Ronald McMackin is chairman/CEO and Cindy McMackin is president of Pan-Pacific Mechanical, a leading full mechanical design/build subcontractor for large-scale construction projects. <br /> In mid-December, the McMackins sold their Palm Beach estate to a trust affiliated with actor Sylvester Stallone.<br /> Satter developed the estate through his Carnegie Hill Development. This is one of four estates he has developed and sold in Manalapan, totaling over $100 million in sales.<br /> Satter is the former chief executive officer of Consumer Testing Laboratories — a leader in quality assurance services for the retail industry. Underwriters Laboratories acquired CTL in 2016 in a transaction handled by Citibank. Satter is also the founding partner of NYU/Stern Endless Frontier Labs, a tech startup accelerator in New York City. <br /> <br /> In another recent transaction, Pascal and <strong>Antonio Liguori</strong> of Premier Estate Properties report that they represented both the buyer and seller in the $25.75 million sale of an ocean-to-Intracoastal compound at 1040 South Ocean Boulevard, Manalapan. <br /> On 2.14 acres with 200 feet of Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal frontage, the 23,795-total-square-foot estate and guest house, designed by Yates Rainho Architects, was completed in 2018. Its features include two elevators, three laundry rooms, and five garage bays.<br /> <br /> <strong>Premier Estate Properties</strong> surpassed $1.55 billion in 2020 sales of properties priced at more than $1 million. The company was founded in 1993 by brokers/owners <strong>Gerard P. Liguori</strong>, <strong>Carmen N. D’Angelo Jr.</strong>, and <strong>Joseph G. Liguori</strong>.</p>

The co-op is free to join and open to homeowners and business owners. After a competitive bidding process, co-op members will select a single solar company to complete installations. Joining the co-op does not obligate members to purchase solar. Instead, members will have the option to individually purchase panels and electric vehicle chargers based on the installer’s group rate. <br /> Solar United Neighbors will host several free information sessions to educate community members about solar energy and the co-op.

<p>Three incumbents will return to the Manalapan Town Commission in 2021 after no other candidates came forward to challenge them in the March election during last month’s qualifying period.</p>
<p>Keith Waters returns as mayor, Stewart Satter is back in an at-large position and Hank Siemon will have another term representing Point Manalapan.</p>
<p>Jack Doyle did not qualify for an ocean seat and was unopposed. The commission will appoint a replacement in March.</p>
<p>Waters has been on the commission since 2016 and has served as mayor since 2017. He has said that the most important issue on the commission’s agenda going forward is setting up the conversion the town must make from septic tanks to municipal sewers.</p>
<p>That planning was put on hold last year because of the COVID-19 outbreak.</p>
<p>Siemon has served on the commission since 2017, and Satter came aboard in 2019.<br /><br /></p></div>
