Ohio Market Overview
Ohio's major metros of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati each have distinct economic specializations, with Columbus demonstrating particularly strong growth in technology, insurance, and logistics. The state is a significant manufacturing and healthcare services hub.
Ohio's Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) program is one of the state's most powerful CRE incentives, providing 100% property tax abatement on improvements for up to 15 years for qualifying commercial projects. The state's Tax Increment Financing program and Job Creation Tax Credit further enhance CRE development economics. Columbus has emerged as one of the top-performing Midwest CRE markets, with Intel's $20 billion chip fabrication facility in Licking County catalyzing a wave of supplier and support service commercial development in central Ohio.
