Market Intelligence

Raleigh Commercial Real Estate Market

Raleigh has emerged as one of the top five CRE investment markets in the Southeast, driven by sustained population growth exceeding 2.5% annually and a knowledge-economy workforce centered on Research Triangle Park. The metro's combination of major universities (NC State, Duke nearby, UNC nearby), corporate R&D facilities, and state government employment creates diversified demand that insulates property values from cyclical swings.

The industrial and flex market along I-40 and Capital Boulevard corridors has tightened considerably, with vacancy below 5% and new speculative construction struggling to keep pace with tenant demand. Retail performs strongly in established corridors like North Hills, Cameron Village, and the growing Midtown East district. Medical office demand near WakeMed and UNC REX hospital systems continues to outpace supply, creating premium pricing for healthcare-adjacent properties.

Raleigh sellers benefit from a buyer pool that increasingly includes institutional capital from New York, Chicago, and California — investors drawn by the Triangle's growth fundamentals and relative value compared to gateway markets. Properties with stable cash flow, modern buildouts, and proximity to growth corridors command competitive bidding. The key differentiator in this market is preparation: sellers who present clean financials, environmental reports, and tenant documentation consistently outperform.

What's Selling

Top Property Types in Raleigh

01

Office

Raleigh's technology workforce and RTP proximity create persistent demand for flex-industrial and R&D space. Buildings offering a mix of office, lab, and warehouse functionality are particularly sought after. Properties along I-40, Capital Boulevard, and the Wake County industrial parks see vacancy rates below 5%, with rental growth outpacing inflation. Food manufacturing and pharmaceutical distribution further diversify tenant demand.

02

Industrial / Warehouse

North Hills, Cameron Village, Midtown East, and the Falls of Neuse corridor anchor Raleigh's retail investment market. Triangle-area household incomes rank among the highest in the Southeast, supporting premium retail rents. Restaurant and experiential retail tenants are expanding aggressively, particularly in mixed-use settings. Grocery-anchored and medical-adjacent retail strips remain the most liquid retail asset class.

03

Retail (Mixed-Use)

WakeMed, UNC REX, and the expanding Duke Health network drive sustained demand for medical office space throughout the Raleigh market. Properties within one mile of major hospital campuses command rental premiums of 15% to 25% over general office. Multi-tenant medical buildings with a mix of primary care, specialty, and outpatient surgery tenants attract the broadest buyer pool.
