What does the Lincoln commercial real estate market look like?
Lincoln's CRE market is anchored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and state government employment, which together provide a stable economic foundation less subject to cyclical swings than many peer markets. The Haymarket District near the university campus has transformed from a neglected warehouse area into the city's premier mixed-use entertainment district, with hotels, restaurants, and Class A office space centered around Pinnacle Bank Arena. The SouthPointe Pavilions and Williamsburg Village areas in south Lincoln represent the primary retail growth corridors, driven by residential expansion. Industrial development has concentrated along the North 56th Street corridor and the Lincoln Airport area, where Kawasaki's rail car manufacturing plant is a major employer.
Key Economic Drivers
