“Tenant demand remains brisk, and our region posted its third straight positive quarter as the vacancies went down to 19 percent, – its lowest mark in three years,” said Jason Price, research director for the tri-state suburbs.

“Despite some challenges, including some older building stock with large vacant blocks, the New Jersey office market should continue to improve modestly for the foreseeable future as both the national and state economies improve,” Price said.
