The office sector will benefit from tech and creative firms seeking space outside the expensive CBD. Conversions of old factories into offices will likely continue. However, high-rise development is unlikely, so the market will remain niche. Expect gradual rent growth as supply tightens. Brooklyn’s light industry should remain robust, serving e-commerce and small manufacturers. Vacancy provides room for expansion, and new high-tech logistics warehouses could emerge. Given highway access, demand is steady with rental rates holding due to limited development of new sites. Retail will remain secondary, focused on meeting local demand. Any expansion will come via mixed-use schemes or gentrification of existing commercial blocks. Bricks-and-mortar retail is limited, so growth is constrained, though service-oriented businesses should continue to fill gaps.
