CITY OF PLAINFIELD MARKET ANALYSIS

The City of Plainfield, the ”Queen City”, is a community of about 55,000 persons and is a model for sustainable urban growth. With two NJ train stations providing convenient rail access to New York City, Plainfield has become a magnet for mixed-use development as exhibited by nearly $1 billion in investment in the last ten years.

The focus of this study is to identify the demand for retail, hospitality, and entertainment businesses that support the growth of housing development. The outcome will be a set of guidelines strategically targeting key business audiences that may have an intertest in a Plainfield location.
