Brad Wadlow
Brad Wadlow is a staff writer for MyCentralJersey who focuses on concise coverage of Central Jersey real estate, new businesses and practical local news.
His reporting centers on transactions and visible changes, including shopping center sales, tenant shifts and corporate investments in new facilities.
He also compiles roundups of local home sales, giving a recurring snapshot of residential market activity.
Across these pieces he keeps the emphasis on clear numbers, specific locations and straightforward explanations of what has changed and who is affected.
Commercial real estate deals and retail centers
Wadlow regularly covers commercial property deals, with a particular focus on shopping centers and roadside retail sites in Central Jersey.
His work on Hunterdon Commons, a 57,935‑square‑foot shopping center sold for $4.7 million near Route 202, illustrates his habit of foregrounding sale price, size and the brokerage handling the transaction.
He applies the same transactional lens to pieces on multi‑tenant office and retail properties such as 90 Woodbridge Center Drive, where he details new tenants and the evolving mix of uses at a single address.
The Route 22 retail center sale in Readington, reported at $2.8 million, sits in the same line of coverage that traces how individual assets change hands along major highways.
Retail‑anchored deals often overlap with his business coverage, as in his story on a Burlington store opening in the St. Georges Crossing center in Woodbridge, where he ties the new tenant to the wider life of the shopping plaza.
Residential sales and property roundups
Beyond individual commercial transactions, Wadlow produces home‑sales roundups that track residential deals over defined periods.
His Hunterdon County home sales report for the week of Aug. 3, 2025 aggregates multiple closings into a brief, structured view of market activity in one county.
These pieces stay close to the data, listing addresses and sale details without added commentary, which makes them useful for readers who want a quick read on what has sold and for how much.
Business openings, promotions and corporate initiatives
Wadlow’s beat extends into coverage of new businesses and consumer‑facing promotions that intersect with local real estate and retail corridors.
His Burlington store piece frames the opening as part of ongoing turnover in a busy shopping center, linking a brand‑name tenant to the physical space it occupies.
He also writes about national brands running local promotions, such as a Rita’s Italian Ice offer that brings a $1 deal into a specific calendar moment for area customers.
On the corporate side, his story on Johnson & Johnson backing a New Jersey startup hub for healthcare technology shows him following investment into bricks‑and‑mortar incubator space and explaining how that initiative is meant to drive new tech development.
His professional profile describes his role as writing about new businesses and real estate, and his recent archive reflects that blend of commercial property moves, store openings and branded consumer offers.
Community briefs, weather, traffic and events
Alongside real estate and business, Wadlow files short community‑focused pieces that report concrete facts about local conditions, events and everyday news.
His coverage of 24‑hour rainfall totals by town and river presents weather as a set of usable figures, allowing readers to see how much rain fell in specific places across Central Jersey.
He has written on a Middlesex County lottery player winning $50,000 in Powerball, turning a single ticket outcome into a concise brief anchored by prize amount and location.
Event‑driven stories such as the Somerset County 4‑H Spring Carnival in Bridgewater focus on dates, venues and basic logistics, keeping the information straightforward for people planning to attend.
Traffic pieces, including his work on expected delays on Route 202 through Somerset County, apply the same practical tone, outlining where drivers can expect disruptions and for how long.
Across these community items he presents himself publicly as a reporter for the local titles in the area, including the Courier News and the Home News Tribune, under the MyCentralJersey umbrella.

Alcynna Lloyd
Alcynna Lloyd is a real estate reporter and economic journalist at Business Insider whose work is distinct for treating housing as a core economic system people must navigate. She covers how housing markets, costs, and mobility shape everyday life decisions, connecting data on rents, home prices, and city trends with stories of people managing debt, multigenerational living, and moves abroad. Her beat centers on housing costs, renters, and household strategies, following renters pushing back against landlords and tracking “desperate home sellers” using concessions in unaffordable markets. A second strand of her coverage focuses on relocation, remote work, and cheap cities as everyday economic strategies. She regularly uses rankings and lists, such as best and worst states to buy a home and Rising Stars of Real Estate, and reads city housing and migration shifts as signs of broader economic change.

He also covers health, addiction, safer supply, involuntary care, water rights, resource management, Indigenous rights and Crown land. Lazenby connects policy language to specific buildings, rents, projects, services and people. He explains financial, regulatory and market pressures, then follows how institutions, professionals, developers, municipalities and affected communities respond. His reporting tests government goals against practical outcomes and shows how policy reversals, construction costs, interest rates and political accountability shape housing and public life.
