2025 Market Reports
The Northern New Jersey industrial market has entered a period of adjustment with slowly rising vacancy rates, stable asking rents and a decrease in speculative construction deliveries. Demand for high-quality space has been the main driver of activity.
Demand for premium and trophy space, driven by a continued flight to quality, has been the main catalyst for leasing activity. Older buildings continue to face challenges as tenants seek high-quality and amenity rich properties.
The increasing availability and sophistication of digital health platforms will empower people to take a more active and informed role in managing their care. This shift will likely lead to greater demand for personalized health solutions, convenient access to services, and transparent information about costs and quality.
After reaching a historical high of 6.7% a year ago, the vacancy rate in the Meadowlands stabilized over the last few months, closing the third quarter at 6.0%. The decline in the vacancy rate is partially attributable to a slowdown in the amount of new construction deliveries and steady leasing activity.
