Christie's Urban Deals Make Ghost Towns of Suburban Office Parks

September 16, 2015

Eighty percent of New Jersey office space was built in the 1980s, according to James Hughes, dean of the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.

“That was considered leading-edge inventory,” Hughes said in an interview. “One of the major reasons New Jersey’s economy is growing slowly is that we just had too much of a concentration in suburban office buildings. People just don’t want them.”
