Commercial real estate
Commercial real estate encompasses all properties used or leased for business purposes, including office buildings, factories, warehouses, retail spaces, hospitality venues and industrial logistics sites. The defining characteristic is economic exploitation and business functionality, as opposed to personal residential use.
This asset class is governed by distinct valuation standards, lease structures and tax frameworks. Pricing is driven by rental yield, location desirability, functional suitability and market demand. Commercial real estate attracts both institutional investors and owner-occupiers seeking operational premises or portfolio diversification.
