Commercial Real Estate

Cap rates in Worcester vary by property type and quality. Across the Worcester market they average 6.4% on multifamily, still 100 to 200 basis points over comparable assets in Greater Boston, and 7.8% on industrial and retail. Office carries the widest spread at 11.4%, which is the market pricing in the risk at the top end. Individual deals move off those averages on tenant credit and lease term, and NNN properties with investment-grade tenants command the tightest cap rates.
