Commercial real estate
Commercial real estate encompasses all property types that serve business functions and generate revenue through tenant occupation or operational use. It excludes residential housing and is structured to support commercial activity and investment returns.
Primary segments include:
- Office space: corporate workplaces and administrative headquarters
- Retail space: shops, supermarkets, and food service establishments
- Industrial and warehouse space: manufacturing, distribution, and storage facilities
- Mixed-use properties combining multiple commercial functions
Value depends on location, tenant demand, lease agreements, and economic cycles. Investors focus on rental yield, occupancy rates, and asset appreciation over time.
