New Jersey's construction market is one of the most expensive and complex in the US, driven by dense population, aging housing stock in need of renovation, and continuous commercial and infrastructure investment in the I-95 and NJ Turnpike corridors. The state's proximity to New York City creates significant demand for high-end building materials -- marble, imported tile, premium roofing materials -- that arrive through Port Newark on specialty pallets. Infrastructure projects including NJ Transit improvements, turnpike expansion, and water system upgrades create government-side construction pallet demand. Home Depot and Lowe's both operate multiple NJ distribution facilities.
