Calvin Souder Named to ROI-NJ Influencers Power List 2026: Real Estate

We are proud to be celebrating Calvin Souder being named to the ROI-NJ Influencers Power List 2026: Real Estate.

This marks his third consecutive year receiving this recognition, following honors in 2024, 2025, and now 2026. A well-earned acknowledgment of his growing impact in real estate, land use, and development across New Jersey.

We also want to congratulate the many other respected professionals recognized on this year’s list. It is encouraging to see so many leaders across the industry being acknowledged for the work they are doing to shape communities and move New Jersey forward.

In 2023, Calvin was included on ROI-NJ’s Real Estate Top 20, where he was described as a rising star among real estate lawyers in Newark.  

His practice sits at the intersection of real estate, land use, economic development, and community impact. The work is not just about getting projects approved. It is about understanding how development decisions affect neighborhoods, local stakeholders, long-term investment, and the future of cities like Newark.

That perspective matters.

Real estate development is never just about buildings. It is about structure, timing, leverage, and accountability. The legal framework behind a project can influence what gets built, who benefits, what obligations are enforced, and how communities are included in the process. That is part of what makes this recognition so meaningful. It reflects not only professional credibility but also the growing importance of thoughtful legal counsel in shaping equitable development outcomes.

ROI-NJ’s past coverage has specifically noted Calvin’s involvement in major transformational projects in Newark, including work connected to significant mixed-use development efforts in the city. As p continues to grow, this recognition also reflects the firm’s larger mission: helping clients navigate complex development issues with clarity, strategy, and a strong understanding of the communities affected by those decisions.

We are proud to celebrate Calvin on this well-earned recognition and grateful to see his work continue to be acknowledged by ROI-NJ.

Congratulations, Calvin!
