Real Estate and Development
The NJEDA plays an important role in implementing major real estate development projects for established companies and governmental or not-for-profit organizations throughout New Jersey. In fact, since 1979, we’ve developed over 10 million square feet of new and renovated space valued at more than $1.5 billion. So if you’re a company needing facilities for research, manufacturing, or distribution; a developer of a project in one of these three sectors, or any commercial project in an urban location; or a public or not-for-profit entity requiring new or renovated facilities, the NJEDA can help turn your plans into reality.
New Jersey has always been one of the premier research areas in the United States and is home to many of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The NJEDA has developed and continues to implement special economic development initiatives in urban aid municipalities and targeted industries, including technology and life sciences. And, in an effort to stimulate the expansion of these industries, New Jersey has created three Innovation Zones or “technology neighborhoods” where academic and research institutions can work with companies to develop and market new products or services while enjoying certain financial incentives and other benefits. The NJEDA’s goal is to anchor each of the zones with a state-of-the-art technology center, offering companies opportunities to lease office, wet and dry laboratory and production space at attractive rents.
With our full array of tools, ranging from site solutions to project financing and full-service real estate development, we can help implement real estate projects that advance the State’s economic development objectives. The NJEDA’s goal isn’t to compete with private developers. Instead, we look for opportunities to collaborate with the private sector and to trail-blaze locations and sectors in need of private investment.

Service and capabilities
Land Assemblage
The location of an office building, university complex, performing arts facility, etc. can be vital, not only to the project’s success, but also to its impact on a community. The NJEDA’s assistance in land acquisition has been essential to the advancement of many urban projects throughout the State. We can help assemble property for public purposes and for certain economic development projects where the need to gain site control at a specific location is critical to a project’s implementation.
Development and Construction
In addition to its land acquisition capabilities, the NJEDA is unique among public agencies in New Jersey because it has the ability to design, finance, construct, and manage projects for public and private-sector clients, either for lease or on a build to suit basis. Projects developed by the NJEDA can enjoy favorable tax and regulatory treatment, as well as attractive occupancy costs.
Typically, projects must fall into one of these categories:
- Urban commercial development
- Technology and life sciences, especially those located in the Newark, Camden and Greater New Brunswick Innovation Zones
- Projects that create, attract or retain high-wage jobs in high-growth sectors of the State’s economy
- Projects undertaken for public or not-for-profit sector clients
