Frequently asked questions
What are warehouse rents in Essex County?
Newmark’s 3Q 2026 report shows Newark at $18.37/SF with 4.7% vacancy; Route 280/Suburban Essex at $15.95/SF with 5.3% vacancy.
Who pays the broker when I lease my building?
It depends on the listing agreement you sign. In New Jersey a broker can only enforce a commission agreement that is in writing (N.J.S.A. 25:1-16), so the fee, who pays it and when it is earned should all be spelled out before marketing starts. AcreX explains its fee structure in the consultation.
Should I lease or sell my Essex County building?
It depends on your income needs, debt, taxes and plans. The estimator gives a rough rent and income-approach value side by side; a broker opinion of value from AcreX refines both.
