"Scott Seale and Steven Hess of Novus Equities have been developing unique properties in the city of Passaic for 10 years. They recently completed the city's first live work artist loft building bringing imagination and commerce to our town center." - Glenn Carter – Executive Director Urban Enterprise Zone – City of Passaic, N.J. "Scott Seale and Steven Hess of Novus Equities have done what they said they were going to do. They have successfully worked in Paterson's 4th Ward providing very attractive rental housing and for sale housing in our city before many others discovered Paterson's unique architectural and multi cultural environment. I am happy to recommend their firm and look forward to working with them in the future." - The Honorable Mayor Jose "Joey" Torres - Paterson, N.J. "Scott Seale and Steven Hess truly understand all elements of real estate development. They constantly work the numbers to get the best value for their money and it shows in the long term viability of their development projects. Urban redevelopment isn't a quick solution and they have the ability to stay with a project through all the ups and downs." - Annemarie Uebbing - Vice President, Regional Director - The Community Preservation Corporation
