Commercial Property/New Jersey; Vacancies Are Rare Along Major Retail Corridors
THE vacancy rate hit a record low -- 2 percent -- in an annual survey of 24.7 million square feet of retail properties along six major routes in northern New Jersey. Richard J. Brunelli, president of the company that compiles the survey, said that if a few ill conceived large buildings that are unlikely to be renovated and have remained empty for a year or more were removed from the calculation, it would be even lower. Without these buildings, the overall vacancy rate would sink to 1.1 percent. Mr. Brunelli, whose firm, R. J. Brunelli & Company, is based in Old Bridge, said vacancy rates actually increased slightly along Routes 17 and 23 in 2002 compared with the previous year -- but only to 1.9 and 1.6 percent, respectively. Vacancies decreased along Routes 4, 10, 22, and 46, he said. Mr. Brunelli studies shopping centers and freestanding retail buildings only, not enclosed malls..
