Hot CRE Markets in New York
Manhattan
New York City remains as a prime market for commercial real estate investment, as it has recently received $30 million as part of the “NYC awakens” campaign. Year-over-year rent growth is at 2.8% for Q1 2023 with the average sale price per unit at $404,000 and the average property sale price at $10.2 million (12).
New York City’s retail vacancy rate is on par with its long-term historical average of 4.1 percent with some of the highest rents in high foot traffic areas (12).
The industrial sector is also growing strong, with over 30 million square feet of projects being launched and $6.9 billion in sales in 2022. Industrial rent has also increased by 9.1% (12).
Albany
Albany has had steady population growth over the past 50 years with no signs of slowing (13). CBRE insights report puts Albany in the top 25 U.S. metros for life sciences research talent (14). Additionally, the total GDP for Albany-Schenectady, NY, has risen from $74 million in 2021 to over $80 million in 2022 (15).
With such high economic growth, Albany is expected to be a hot CRE market in 2024. In 2022 alone, industrial rent growth reached an all-time high annual rate of 9.4% (16).
Rochester-Syracuse
In 2023, the Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo region won a U.S. competition to become a national tech hub that will receive a share of up to $10 billion in federal aid for stimulating investment in semiconductor manufacturing and research (17).
This, combined with the 7.41% GDP growth from 2021 to 2022 (18) suggests that upstate New York is likely to be a CRE hotspot in the next few years.
