Calgary’s industrial and commercial real estate experts
Commercial real estate and industrial real estate are two distinct categories within the broader real estate sector, each serving unique purposes and property types. Here are the key differences between commercial and industrial real estate:
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate encompasses a wide range of property types primarily used for business and commerce. This category includes office buildings, retail spaces (such as shopping malls and storefronts), hotels, restaurants, and more. Commercial properties serve as spaces for conducting various types of business activities.
Industrial Real Estate
Industrial real estate, on the other hand, is specifically focused on properties used for industrial purposes. This includes warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, research and development facilities, and data centers, to name a few. Industrial properties are designed to facilitate the production, storage, and transportation of goods.
As a boutique brokerage, we are able to provide creative solutions to get deals to completion.
At CMS Real Estate, despite the significant technological advancements within the real estate industry, our unwavering commitment lies in creating and retaining strong relationships. While we embrace modern technology tools, our core values of honesty, transparency, and integrity remain unshaken, all while staying agile and adapting to market dynamics. In the face of fluctuating interest rates and the evolving real estate market, we remain proactive with financing solutions, ensuring our clients’ needs are met.
