MARKET WATCHAll Sectors Firing, but Industrial LeadstheWay…Again

Rinse and repeat. The industrial sector of the New Jersey real estate market led the way this past quarter, as it has for the past several years. Average rents jumped an astounding $0.25 per sq. ft., quarter over quarter, and now stand at $8.68 per sq. ft. Similarly, vacancy rates declined to 4.1%.

In fact, vacancy rates declined in all three sectors of the market. Office vacancy rates dropped to an average rate of 11.3%, while retail vacancy rates fell to 4.2% (which is somewhat surprising given the internet/online impact of retail sales).

Moreover, retail rental rates rose quarter over quarter and now stand at an average of $22.04 per sq. ft. Office rents remained flat at $25.56 per sq. ft. Finally, we observed positive absorption in all three sectors, with retail out front with a positive absorption of 1,088,720 square feet.

The sale of 49,555 sq. ft., 583-unit storage facility at 47 Main Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey from Clifton Self-Storage to Prime Acquisitions Holdings. The sale price was $9,000,000. Bill Sitar Jr., Tom Palumbo, John Cranley and Andy Burachinsky were the salespeople in this transaction.

The ground lease for a 5,600 sq. ft. retail building at 575 Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury, New Jersey from Shore Investment Realty, LLC to Quick Chek. Doug Sitar, Gregg Nowell, Bill Sitar Jr. and Joseph Allegro were the salespeople in this transaction.

The sale of a 7,394 sq. ft. retail property at 1202 Third Avenue, Spring Lake, New Jersey from 10 Brown LLC to Spring Laker LLC. The sales price was $2,500,000. Ronald Schrader Jr. was the salesperson in this transaction.
