That’s evident from this year’s Real Estate NJ Market Forecast, where you’ll find everything from caution to confidence about how the sector will perform as it balances strong fundamentals in several key asset classes with new regulatory headwinds, nagging inflation and what seems to be a lingering lack of clarity over when lower interest rates will truly impact the industry.
You can read all about it in our 2025 Market Forecast, which features predictions and insights from some of the state’s leading voices in commercial real estate.
Owners Council Q&A: Lance Bergstein
The macro environment had an exponential effect on the commercial real estate market. The impact of increased inflation and borrowing rates magnified some of the underlying fundamentals in the New Jersey market. With that said, the industrial market in the state remained strong in comparison to the rest of the country. The scarcity of developable land in prime locations for logistics prevented rental rate cuts from becoming prevalent in the overall market. There is strong tenant demand, however, corporate spending approvals have been the barrier. As spending approvals become more attainable, there will not be enough chairs (buildings) left for tenants when the music stops. I continue to believe that New Jersey is underserved from an industrial and housing perspective and am very bullish on the activity our market will see in the next 18 months.
