Commercial facility (otherwise: commercial property or commercial real estate) is an asset that is meant to generate income for the owner. Commercial facilities have meaningful impact in economic growth and development of the city. Demand for commercial facilities comes from the economic activity of companies. Since land and buildings are factor inputs in productive action, demand varies across time (as technologies of production evolve) and space (distinct locations possess advantages for different types of usage of land[1].
Categories of commercial properties
Commercial facilities can be divided into different categories, that are mostly related to sectors of employment. We can distinguish[2]:
- Retail buildings,
- Office Property,
- Business opportunity,
- Industrial Facility,
- Ranch or Farm,
- Shopping Center,
- Medical Property,
- Multifamily building,
- Vacant Developable Land.
Every type of commercial real estate finds different usage, and each has its own way to make money from.
Commercial facility’s prices
Commercial facilities have diverse and troublesome financial features in comparison to different asset classes. The value of commercial real estate in relation to separate types of fixed capital has increased, because the cost of equipment investment goods in the world, has been decreasing promptly since the 1960s. The price of commercial properties is mostly decided by its income-generating ability. The price is also determined by land plot value, and cost of the building. Improvement value or rental price might also be used in measuring value of commercial real estate[3].
Devaluation of commercial facilities
Studies have shown, that there exists a contact between exchange rate volatility and returns of commercial facility investments. Considering tax policy, commercial properties have a tendency to depreciate in a fairly geometric sequence, with a rate between 2% to 4% of the enduring price of a building per year. When it comes to non-residential land, the highest percentage of devaluation is observed in office facilities and retail buildings, and industrial properties experience the slowest loss of value[4].
Examples of Commercial facility

- Office Buildings: These are the commercial facilities that are used to house the offices of businesses. Office buildings can vary in size, from single-story buildings that house a few offices to multi-story skyscrapers that house hundreds of offices.

- Industrial Facilities: Industrial facilities are commercial facilities used to produce and process goods. They often include warehouses, factories, and other large buildings. Examples of well-known industrial facilities include the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Dearborn, Michigan and the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington.

Commercial facilities have several advantages that make them attractive investments. These include:
- High rental yields - Commercial real estate usually has higher rental yields than residential investments, which can provide investors with a steady stream of income.

Limitations of Commercial facility
- The value of a commercial facility is dependent on its location and local market conditions. This can create a risk for an investor if the market is not favorable for the type of facility purchased.
