New Jersey Market Overview
New Jersey's location between New York and Philadelphia, combined with a dense transportation network, makes it a premier logistics and pharmaceutical hub. The state has more scientists and engineers per square mile than any other state.
New Jersey has the highest commercial property tax rates in the nation, with effective rates often exceeding 3% of market value, making tax analysis and appeals critical components of CRE investment strategy. The state's Realty Transfer Fee of approximately 1% on commercial sales (with an additional 1% mansion tax on properties over $1 million) adds significant transaction costs. New Jersey's strong environmental regulations, including the Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), require environmental assessments and remediation before transferring commercial and industrial properties, which can delay transactions but ultimately protects buyer value.
