What Is a Commercial Property in Real Estate?
A commercial property is any building or land used for business purposes — such as offices, retail stores, warehouses, or mixed-use spaces. These properties generate income for their owners through rent or investment returns.

- Retail properties: storefronts, strip centers, and shopping malls that lease space to merchants.
- Industrial or warehouse: spaces for manufacturing, distribution, or logistics.
- Multi-family units: residential buildings with five or more units (learn more).
