Albuquerque Commercial Real Estate Market

Albuquerque's commercial real estate market is substantially driven by federal defense installations, national laboratories, and the state's burgeoning film production industry. Sandia National Laboratories and Kirtland Air Force Base, both located on the southeast side of the city, employ tens of thousands and support a surrounding cluster of defense contractors and technology firms along the Eubank corridor. The downtown and EDo (East Downtown) districts have attracted adaptive reuse and new construction projects, including the conversion of historic Route 66-era buildings into boutique hotels and creative office space. The Mesa del Sol planned community on the city's southern edge has attracted Netflix's Albuquerque Studios expansion and other film production facilities taking advantage of New Mexico's generous tax incentive program.

  • Netflix Albuquerque Studios and other film production facilities driving industrial and hospitality absorption

Market Insight

New Mexico offers a 25-35% refundable film production tax credit with no annual cap, which has attracted Netflix to invest over $2 billion in Albuquerque production facilities, creating sustained demand for studio space, warehouses, and short-term furnished housing.
