Atlantic City Commercial Real Estate Market
Atlantic City's CRE market revolves around the gaming and hospitality industry, though the city has worked to diversify following the closure of five casinos between 2014 and 2016 that significantly impacted property values and employment. The Boardwalk corridor and Marina District remain the focal points for hospitality and entertainment-related real estate, with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Ocean Casino Resort representing successful reopenings of previously closed properties. The Atlantic City Gateway project near the train station aims to create a non-gaming mixed-use anchor, while the city's designation as a state-controlled municipality under the PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) program has reshaped commercial property tax structures. The surrounding communities of Egg Harbor Township and Pleasantville capture retail and service demand from casino workers and regional residents.
Key Economic Drivers
- ●Remaining casino-resort operators including Hard Rock, Borgata, and Ocean Casino sustaining hospitality employment
- ●FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center in Egg Harbor Township as the area's largest non-gaming employer
- ●Stockton University's Atlantic City campus bringing academic investment to the city's Chelsea neighborhood
- ●New Jersey's online gaming and sports betting revenue generating operational demand for data and tech infrastructure
Market Insight
Atlantic City's PILOT program allows qualifying commercial properties to make fixed payments in lieu of traditional property taxes based on a percentage of gross revenue, providing more predictable operating costs for investors in a market with volatile assessed values.
