Newark Commercial Real Estate Market

Newark is undergoing one of the most significant urban revitalizations in the Northeast, catalyzed by major institutional investments and its role as northern New Jersey's transportation hub adjacent to Newark Liberty International Airport. The downtown core around Broad Street and the Ironbound District has attracted billions in new development, including Prudential Financial's expanding campus and mixed-use projects like Hahne & Co. and One Theater Square. The Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, part of the Port of New York and New Jersey, is the largest container port on the East Coast and drives massive industrial and warehouse demand in the surrounding submarkets.

  • Jersey City's waterfront office towers attracting financial services tenants from Manhattan at lower rents
