Trenton Market
Trenton is New Jersey's state capital, and government is the economic anchor. State agencies, the legislature, and government contractors create steady demand. Capital Health and St. Francis Medical Center provide healthcare employment.
Trenton offers the most affordable commercial real estate in the NJ Turnpike corridor. Businesses that serve government — contractors, IT providers, consulting firms — benefit from proximity to state agencies at a fraction of North Jersey costs.
Manufacturing has deep roots in Trenton. The city's industrial past is evolving into modern manufacturing and distribution. For businesses that need affordable space with Turnpike access, Trenton offers economics that don't exist elsewhere in the corridor.
