Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate (CRE) refers to properties that are used exclusively for business purposes. This category includes a variety of property types such as office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, industrial properties, and multi-family apartment buildings, among others. Unlike residential real estate, which focuses on properties for living purposes, commercial real estate is primarily intended to generate income either through rental income, capital appreciation, or business operations. Investors in commercial real estate often seek properties that provide a steady cash flow and can offer higher returns compared to residential properties. The commercial real estate market is influenced by factors such as the local economy, interest rates, and property values, making it a dynamic sector within the broader real estate industry.
