from Hurricane Sandy. While many areas were left unscathed almost all businesses were af- fected by the power outages which struck the State. The efforts for recovery by many businesses basically put the market in a holding pattern for several months. Companies were consumed by the need to play catch up for the time and business lost from the storm and most companies seemed to put their plans for real estate on hold. The vacancy rate for Mon- mouth County both for indus- trial and office space increased during the 1st quarter of 2013 over the previous quarter. Ac- cording to CoStar, a leading commercial real estate informa- tion company, the industrial rate rose from 8.7% to 9% and the office rate rose from 15.5% to 16.3%. The good news is that it finally appears that during March and April the activity in the market began to pick up. Businesses are again look- ing to move or expand in the Monmouth County area. This is demonstrated by an increase in the number of transactions which have been or about to be closed in the County. Some of the notable transactions include: • The sale of the Garden Sate Executive Center in Middle- town was completed in April. This is a 287,806 square foot Class A office building. • The former Crown Beer Distribution facility located in Wall Township and comprising approximately 118,000 s/f on 18.29 acres is under contract. The inventory of properties for sale or lease currently offers those looking for new locations a wide variety of options. With the vacancy rate high it is a per- fect time for companies to find the right property at the right price to suit their needs. Sheldon Gross Realty is cur- rently marketing properties throughout Monmouth County. Some of these include: • Approximately 47 acres for sale in Wall Township. The property has all approvals and is ready for development. • 9,800 square foot building for lease in Cliffwood Beach. This property has flexible zon- ing and can be used for retail,
