COMMERCIAL PROPERTY VALUES NOW 14% ABOVE 2007 PEAK: REPORT
by Eliot Brown, The Wall Street Journal
U.S. commercial property values have been nothing if not consistent in the past half decade, steadily ticking upward.
Real estate research firm Green Street Advisors reported that commercial property values in March were 11% above March 2014, and unchanged from February.
