CHATHAM, NJ–DTZ's Fourth Quarter 2014 Industrial Market Snapshot for Northern and Central New Jersey records robust numbers for Northern and Central New Jersey industrial markets, with strong positive absorption, including the best absorption in Northern Jersey since 2013.

“The strong market conditions in the fourth quarter point to an even better 2015 with sturdy leasing and sales activity,” says Doug Bansbach, DTZ senior vice president. “There is still potential for growth in Northern New Jersey, as several submarkets are weighed down with large vacancies. Meanwhile, Central New Jersey continues to shine with increasing demand.”

The Northern New Jersey industrial market recorded net absorption of 758,157 square feet in the fourth quarter, the highest absorption since the first quarter of 2013. Vacancy fell 10 basis points to 7.9 percent from the third quarter of 2014. Despite the uptick in performance, the Northern New Jersey industrial market did not perform as well over the year, with 593,419 square feet of negative absorption for 2014.
