Bergen County Commercial Real Estate
Bergen County anchors North Jersey's suburban office market, hosting global consumer, automotive, medical device, and media headquarters within a short drive of Manhattan. Corporate campuses cluster along the Route 17, Sylvan Avenue, and I-287 spines in Woodcliff Lake, Montvale, Mahwah, Franklin Lakes, and Englewood Cliffs, while Hackensack and Paramus concentrate the county's Class A office stock, professional services tenants, and the region's dominant retail node at Garden State Plaza.
Why Bergen County
Corporate campus magnet: BMW, Volvo Car USA, BD, LG Electronics, KPMG, and CNBC all headquarter Americas or U.S. operations in Bergen towns
Manhattan-adjacent labor pool with a five-minute reach to the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee and Ridgefield Park
Deep landlord bench post Mack-Cali exit: Onyx Equities, Alfred Sanzari, and American Equity Partners now own the largest Class A office positions

Frequently asked
What are Class A office rents in Bergen County right now?+
Class A asking rents in Bergen County generally run in the mid-$30s to low-$40s per SF full-service, with the Bergen Central submarket (Paramus, Hackensack, Rochelle Park) averaging around $36–37 per SF for Class A space. The best-amenitized towers and repositioned suburban campuses push toward the top of that band; commodity Class B trades meaningfully below.
Didn't Samsung and Mack-Cali leave Bergen County?+
Two big shifts to know. First, Samsung Electronics America moved its North American HQ from Ridgefield Park to a 321,000 SF campus at 700 Sylvan Ave in Englewood Cliffs in September 2025, but announced in June 2026 that it will relocate that HQ to Plano, Texas by year-end 2026 — the Sylvan Ave building will come back to the market. Second, Mack-Cali (Veris Residential) exited office entirely in March 2024; Onyx Equities and Garrison have absorbed the bulk of its former Bergen portfolio and are now the dominant Class A office landlord in Paramus/Rochelle Park.
Which corporate headquarters are actually still in Bergen County?+
Confirmed 2025–2026 headquarters or U.S./Americas hubs include BMW of North America (Woodcliff Lake), Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes), LG Electronics USA (Englewood Cliffs), Volvo Car USA (Mahwah), KPMG (Montvale), Sharp Electronics (Montvale), Konica Minolta (Ramsey), PIM Brands (Park Ridge, in the former Hertz building), Stryker Orthopaedics (Mahwah), and CNBC / Versant (Englewood Cliffs).
How close is Bergen County to Manhattan?+
Fort Lee sits directly at the George Washington Bridge — under five minutes to upper Manhattan in typical off-peak traffic. NJ Transit's Pascack Valley and Main/Bergen lines run through Ridgewood and Radburn into Hoboken with PATH connections to Midtown and the Financial District, and Sylvan Avenue in Englewood Cliffs is about a 20-minute drive to Midtown.
Where do Bergen's highest-income residents cluster?+
Alpine (07620), Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, and Upper Saddle River are consistently among the wealthiest towns in New Jersey and among the highest-income ZIPs in the country. Alpine's 07620 is regularly cited by Forbes and others as one of the top 20 richest ZIP codes in the U.S. by home values, though median household income in the town (~$228K) sits below the national top-1% threshold.
