Impact of New Jerseys Growth
While the citys Class A office space inventory barely grew, New Jerseys Hudson River waterfront developments experienced tremendous growth. Between 1990 and 2000 some 12 million square feet of low-cost office space was built on the waterfront. This amount of office space represents enough space for 50,000 employees that, if located in New York City, would be the equivalent of $150 million in 2003 tax dollars. New Jersey offers inexpensive, large floorplate office buildings that are ready to be occupied in a short time frame. In 2000 alone, 32 New York City companies relocated to New Jersey taking with them approximately 9,000 jobs.
