Paramus-Bergen County Market
Paramus has more retail square footage per capita than anywhere in the United States. Garden State Plaza, Westfield Garden State Plaza, and dozens of commercial centers create an enormous retail economy. Bergen County is one of the most affluent counties in New Jersey.
Valley Hospital (Valley Health) anchors the healthcare sector. Corporate offices line the Route 17 and Route 4 corridors. The proximity to NYC — 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan — makes Bergen County a premium suburban commercial market.
Bergen County businesses serve one of the wealthiest populations in the Northeast. The challenge is competition — retail, restaurant, and healthcare operators compete for the same affluent customer. Capital for equipment, buildouts, and expansion is the competitive advantage.
