Long Island Commercial Real Estate Market

Long Island's CRE market spans Nassau and Suffolk Counties, serving a suburban population of nearly 2.9 million with distinct commercial corridors along the Long Island Expressway (I-495), the Northern State Parkway, and Route 110 in Melville. The Route 110 corridor in Melville-Huntington is the island's premier office submarket, housing tenants in financial services, insurance, and technology, though the market has seen increasing vacancy as firms consolidate space. Industrial demand has strengthened significantly, with last-mile distribution facilities in high demand across both counties to serve the dense consumer base. The redevelopment of the Nassau Hub area around the former Nassau Coliseum site in Uniondale represents one of the largest mixed-use opportunities in the New York metro area.
