Delaware Market Overview

Delaware's business-friendly incorporation laws have made it the legal home of over 60% of Fortune 500 companies, driving demand for registered agent offices and corporate facilities. The Wilmington area benefits from its position between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Delaware has no state sales tax and does not tax business personal property, reducing the carrying cost for commercial properties with significant equipment or inventory. The state's Chancery Court provides a sophisticated and predictable legal framework for real estate disputes, which is valued by institutional investors. Wilmington's Riverfront development area has been transformed through public-private partnerships and tax increment financing, offering a model for CRE investment in redeveloping urban areas.
