NJ office market tightens

From NJBIZ:

Northeast office markets post lower vacancies, higher rents

While occupancy rates may be less certain comparatively, a new report finds all Northeastern markets posted vacancy rates below the national average (19.7%) in April.

CommercialEdge’s May 2025 Office Market Report, released May 20, highlights Manhattan as having the lowest regional vacancy rate (16.2%), followed by New Jersey at 18.9%. The local figure represented a slight uptick, following an 80-basis-point annual increase in the Garden State.

Among other trends, the paper notes an overall shift in demand toward suburban locations as central business districts continue to struggle; as well as a continued slowdown in office construction. According to the report, just 2.8 million square feet of sector space got started nationwide in April.

In New Jersey, both well-connected downtown areas – like Morristown, where Sanofi just moved from Bridgewater – as well as updated, trophy office parks in the burbs have recently drawn tenants.

“Every market is unique and nuanced, but the overarching trend that downtowns are struggling with less office workers and higher office vacancy is consistent across the country,” noted Peter Kolaczynski, director, CommercialEdge.

Rents in the Northeast did drop over the period; however, CommercialEdge noted local regions still rank among the priciest nationwide.

Manhattan led the pack (in the Northeast and across the U.S.), with average asking rents at $68.34 per square foot. Even with its 4.1% annual decrease, that was still well above the national average of $33.34 per square foot. Boston and New Jersey also surpassed that benchmark. The former posted price points of $46.06 per square foot, while the Garden State was just above it at $33.45 per square foot.

    A move to cheaper environs coupled plus remote work equals a migration south and west.

    And:
    A junk-rated US Treasury? Markets ‘care’ about that

    There are good reasons why markets took the latest U.S. credit rating downgrade on the chin, but that will offer cold comfort to investors warily eyeing the country’s deteriorating fiscal health.

    A FEW NOTCHES ABOVE JUNK
    But the problem with Bessent’s ‘who cares?’ argument is that it doesn’t account for the fact that the market thinks the U.S. credit rating should be far lower.
    It turns out, investors really do ‘care’.
    Using credit default swaps pricing as an input, S&P Global’s Capital IQ model puts the U.S. sovereign credit rating 6 notches lower than its current grade – all the way down to BBB+ – barely clinging to investment grade status, never mind AAA.

    “I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful. But I don’t know if it could be both.”

    Tech billionaire Elon Musk tells CBS Sunday Morning’s @Pogue he was “disappointed” to see the Trump-backed “big beautiful” spending bill, which passed in the House last week.

    Musk said he believes the legislation “increases the budget deficit” and “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”

  19. Dark Phoenix says:

    VSG

    In order for grifting, you need to spend.

    Hopefully he will run America better than he ran Trump Shuttle. Some facts:

    1. The company was never profitable.

    2. The airline ran out of cash and defaulted on its debt in September 1990.

    3. Trump had personally guaranteed $135 million of the shuttle’s debt.

    4. Bankers involved in the negotiations said that Trump would be relieved of at least $100 million of his guarantee, and possibly as much as $110 million, leaving him owing between $25 and $35 million in the closing out of his ownership of the company.

  20. Fast Eddie says:

    “We will learn more about all this as time goes by: first, in aides’ memoirs, where they will, for money, traffic the pitiable incidents and sad details they knew about at the time, and helped conceal; and secondly, through archival disclosure, as we get our hands on the White House memoranda, emails, and texts that will show the day-to-day mechanics of the cover-up—and maybe answer the question of who was running the country.”

    And who used the auto pen? And why were climate executive orders signed without slo joe ever discussing them? What about the other EOs he couldn’t ‘remember’ signing? Who was running the country? The Oversight Committee is going to have a lot to investigate. You thought J6 was bad? The dems said, “hold my beer.”

    Boy, did MAGA get f*ked or what.

    And the turd saying he’s going after Harvard to protect american kids is such a scam. He’s cutting back on student loans and everything around it and packaging it as good for MAGA.

    What a scam!

  23. Libturd says:

    Well when the rich get rich, Trump gets richer. Glad half the country supports this crook. And he does it so brazenly at this point. Why? Cause his supporters would lick his shoes even after he steps on all of the bullshit he speaks of.

    It’s really a shame too. A shitty Trump means the Dems can continue with their terrible governance. Was really hoping the Dems would have to straighten the ship to get reelected. Appears now, all they have to do is run on the same old tired agenda. Lord help us if they double down on their own bullshit.

Trump, the cult leader is immune.

    Well Tesla IS one of the worst performing stocks over the last three years. It’s no wonder Trump appointed him. Plus, he appeared on SNL.

Looked at as a whole from the influence peddling overseas, the Hunter Biden Laptop cover up, the phoney Russian collusion scam, the weaponization of the legal system against a political opponent, the cover up of the physical and mental deterioration of Biden, and unknown and unelected bad actors actually running the last administration, this is likely the biggest political scandal of all time worldwide. This was the total destruction of democracy by those saying their political opponent was a threat to democracy. Its just incredible.

    President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter after getting a ‘nasty’ question about ‘chickening out’ by repeatedly threatening tariffs only to relax or postpone them.

    A reporter asked Trump about a new acronym making the rounds on Wall Street about the ‘TACO trade’, which stands for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out.’

    The president has made a habit of threatening massive tariffs on nations and industries around the world, which send markets plunging, before he ‘chickens out’ days later and doesn’t actually go ahead with the levies.

    This has reportedly been noticed by investors who buy the dip in the markets and wait for Trump to walk back on his threats, sending their stocks soaring up again.

    When confronted with the mocking term on Wednesday, Trump denied that he had buckled and said he won concessions due to the pressure of his tariffs.

    Trump then fumed at the reporter for the bold question, saying: ‘Don’t ever say what you said.’

  41. OY says:

    People are sheep. They are so many idiots in the world. The trick is not to marry one. That’ll mean less chances of spawning one. The population is in big trouble and Trump will only make matters much, much worse. No, I don’t think that the Dem’s have any idea what they are doing and might need a massive overhaul in order to appeal to anyone what isn’t woke.

  42. White Trash Eddie says:

    Omg! Thank goodness they held Trump back. I never saw him go after someone like this! They almost ripped his jacket as he was screaming. Did you hear the audible gasps from the crowd in the room? I think he’s losing it!!!

It would require that you stand up to special interests and fight for the majority. It would require that you be an actual patrioit, not a puppet for other countries that try to control you.

    None of that is possible for either the Democraps or the Repukes. And if someone else ever makes it in, they will get the JFK treatment.

I‘m very disappointed that the war in the Ukraine is still going on. This is only needless death for both Russia and the Ukraine. Neither side has the ability to accomplish their stated objectives of the war. I am happy that the administration is taking on China to some degree. No one else has attempted this and it remains to be seen what happens. The Chinese however always play the long game in contrast to the west.

  87. 3b says:

    Taco Trump: Harris was and is an idiot, and that’s not taking away from all that’s bad about Trump. How Harris was AG for all those years, probably boils down to other people doing her job/ covering for her. Anyone that has spent years in corporate America knows full well all the idiots that were in high positions, and were complete morons.

    Dems are idiots if they honestly think she has any chance at all.

    No she is not and just because you don’t like her doesn’t make it so.

    Dems are a mess. They still don’t get it. The establishment is hated right now and they continue to anoint the next gravy train driver. As bad as Harris was (and we are in agreement here 3B) the Dems will win because Trump is so bad. This lesser of two evil things is really getting annoying.

  94. TacoTrump says:

    We would have been better off with Hillary than Trump 1.0

    We would be far better off now with Harris than Trump 2.0

    This is the absolute fucking truth.

    Harris was a terrible candidate. She did incredibly poorly in the primaries and her political career highlight was calling Biden a racist. She lied and continues to lie about her upbringing. She did not grow up poor. She did not suffer from forced integration. She slept her way to her AG appointment and since going to high school in Canada, had not left the country since leaving her extremely weak on foreign affairs. The fact she was appointed and not elected in a primary just added to her ineluctability. As an AG, she was not tough on crime, but a supporter of failed bail reform and often sided with the “defund the police” crowd as state AG. As Veep, she was asked to play border Czar, where she did absolutely nothing. Then, when campaigning for POTUS and with the largest war chest I ever witnessed, she was more of a one-trick pony than Hilary was. Same old dumb stories of a tough childhood, being a woman, blah, blah, blah. If I hear the term, middle-class or working class uttered one more time by someone who hasn’t driven a car in their last 30 years, I’m gonna puke. Sorry, but she was a terrible choice when the cities were being destroyed by black shoplifters, graffiti artists, looters and the homeless. Then the Dem leadership decides to run a black woman? Gary is right about one thing. The party is completely lost right now. But as lost as they are, they will dominate the mid terms. Trump is a perennial loser with everything he has always done. He is crass, unlikable and dumb. But he is very good at enriching himself. Never saw anything like it.

  101. 3b says:

    Fab: I don’t know why you always have this knee jerk reaction. And always make assumptions, as with your latest one , “who am I carrying the water for”. The answer of course is for no one unlike yourself.

    Now to address your supposed point, I said there was an article in the WSJ this morning discussing how the Russian economy is doing well having converted to a war economy. It also notes the relatively high pay for soliders , as well as bonuses. The article goes on to state that because of this , Putin is in no hurry to end the war. Perhaps, you believe the WSJ is carrying the water that you speak of.

  102. RentL0rd says:

    Taco Trump is going to find out he is no king. Will he throw a tantrum – of course.

    As long as we have imbeciles like 3b slithering around the facts and Fast Eddie, besting his chest – the tantrums will go on.

    But we are about to find out if we are a democracy or a kingdom.

  103. RentL0rd says:

    8:21 – was Harris not able to convince people she was genuine – yes.

    Even if she wanted to run the country down – she wouldn’t be able to unlike Taco – who is really capable of fucking up the country as is obviously evident.

    Even his buddy Musk thinks the BS bill will ruin us.

  104. 3b says:

    Rent: Really,the only one slithering is you . That and playing suck up.What offended you , my comments about Harris? It’s true, but your frozen little brain can’t acknowledge it.

    I note that Lib has a scathing indictment of Harris, and you say nothing. I guess you are disappointed in Lib for saying that, and hope it was just a momentary lapse. Anyhow, you are an insufferable little man, with no ability to think for himself, you just hungrily devour the BS and crap that Democrats throw out there. You are the flip side of a hard core MAGA supporter.

  105. 3b says:

    Rent: Harris was not genuine, she was an embarrassment. The fact you are a fan is not surprising. Two empty heads.

    Ding Ding Ding we have a winner, that proves that even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
    The only time I generally respond to a WSJ article in here is when Chi posts one of those Peggy Noonan diatribe OpEds. The WSJ is now the NYPost for those that think they are intellectual. You in that group?

    “Anyhow, you are an insufferable little man” Ad Holmium, never seen that in here NOT. If you cant stick to the argument, then pass.

    ” Putin is in no hurry to end the war” I’ll agree with this. If you still have resources and a retreat or ceasefire will make you look week, lets guess the stance?

    It’s really no different when I post my endless diatribes about Trump’s corruption and all you got is Biden shits his diapers.

    The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits from Democratic-led states and a group of small businesses argued Trump had wrongfully invoked an emergency law to justify the levies.

    The court agreed.

    ‘The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,’ the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

    Fab: So the WSJ is now the NY Post. You really are blinded. Away from that comment you took a pretty straight forward article about the Russian economy and the war in Ukraine, and turned it into some type of Trump / right wing nonsense, when I think you initially missed that I noted it was a WSJ article. Rather than acknowledge that, you turned it into some twisted Trump , pro Russia, anti Ukraine thing.

    As for my comment about the other poster being an insufferable little man, well I believe he is. I typically ignore him, but he if he makes a comment about me , I will respond.

    – watching Elon and Orange officially broken up, kids left with Elon, Orange will pay alimony
    – hearing so many financial regulations removed as BNPL, student loan, preditory lending will crash and burn many
    – collecting taxes on non-cash tips and social security regardless of what the state media tells us.

    “Participants agreed that uncertainty about the economic outlook had increased further, making it appropriate to take a cautious approach until the net economic effects of the array of changes to government policies become clearer,” said the minutes.

    The minutes strongly suggest the Fed isn’t close to lowering rates anytime soon. Instead, the meeting summary, released with the customary three-week delay, highlighted fears over a recipe for stagflation, where economic activity slows while price increases accelerate.

    Between officials’ most recent meetings in mid-March and early May, President Trump ratcheted up tariffs on most U.S. trading partners before suspending some of the most aggressive hikes. The minutes released Wednesday provided a written account of how officials were digesting those initial moves.

    Expectations of a rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting in mid-June declined after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference after the last meeting that the costs of waiting to learn more about the economy were “fairly low.” In public comments since the meeting, Fed officials have roundly endorsed that view, implying a high bar for the Fed to cut interest rates.

    Angry backlash over the chancellor’s seeming incoherence has been on full display in recent days, particularly as European allies try to project rhetorical resolve when it comes to helping Ukraine.

    Joel Le Scouarnec, the former surgeon who has admitted sexually abusing hundreds of patients, mostly children, between 1989 and 2014 has been sentenced to a maximum term of 20 years in jail.
    Le Scouarnec was dressed in black as he stood emotionless in court listening to judge Aude Burési deliver the verdict. In March, he admitted sexually abusing all 299 victims.
    Judge Burési said the court had taken into account the fact that the former surgeon had especially sought out unwell, vulnerable and sedated victims.
    The sentence has a mandatory minimum term of two-thirds – and because Le Scouarnec has already served seven years, he may be eligible for parole by 2030.
