Market Analysis
North America holds roughly 37% of the global commercial real-estate market, led by the United States, with a resurgence in development across major cities driven by demographic shifts, evolving corporate needs, and technological advancement. Offices retain the largest share on legacy leases, yet logistics overtakes offices as the growth engine as data-center demand reshapes commercial allocation.
Demand is propelled by e-commerce-driven warehousing, the data-center build-out, demand for smart, sustainable, hybrid-work-friendly buildings, and strong grocery-anchored retail. Sovereign and pension capital flows into income-producing logistics, multifamily, and digital infrastructure, while lower-quality office faces obsolescence risk and repurposing pressure across the cycle.
