Pennsylvania Market Overview

Pennsylvania benefits from two major metros with distinct economies: Philadelphia's healthcare, education, and professional services sector, and Pittsburgh's transformed economy centered on technology, robotics, and healthcare. The state is also a major natural gas producer.

Pennsylvania's Keystone Opportunity Zone program offers complete elimination of most state and local taxes for up to 10 years for businesses locating in designated areas, making it one of the most aggressive incentive programs in the nation. Philadelphia's 10-year property tax abatement on new construction and improvements has been a major catalyst for commercial development, though recent reforms have modified the program. Pittsburgh's commercial real estate market benefits from a split-rate tax system that taxes land at a higher rate than improvements, which encourages development and higher-intensity use of commercial properties.
