Commercial Real Estate (CRE)

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) refers to properties used primarily for business purposes, such as offices, retail stores, warehouses, and factories. Investors and companies buy, sell, lease, or develop these properties to generate income through rent or appreciation. CRE can be a significant part of a business's operations or an investment vehicle for individuals and institutions seeking steady cash flow or long-term growth. It differs from residential real estate, which is primarily for living purposes. Overall, CRE involves the buying, managing, and selling of properties that serve commercial functions, supporting economic activity and investment portfolios.
