Long Island Commercial Real Estate-Office Submarkets

Geographically speaking, Long Island is comprised of four counties: Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Kings (Brooklyn). However, when people talk about "Long Island" they are usually referring to only Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

A suburb of New York City, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties) experienced tremendous population and economic growth during the post-World War II era as potato farms gave way to sprawling residential developments, including the original Levittown. Long Islanders pride themselves on our exceptional public school system and beautiful shoreline measuring over 1,180 miles.

As of 2006, the population was estimated to be 2,795,000, representing an exceptionally large concentration of economic power. Despite roadway volume, the parkway and expressway system is exceptional. When deciding where to locate your Long Island office, it is not the physical distance from point A (usually home or Manhattan) to point B (your office) that is important, but the "travel time," which will be a function of the building's proximity to the parkway and expressway system, which is critical.
