******************************** Is Commercial Property Still a Good Investment? http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1241 These are blissful times for commercial real estate investors. Having fallen into a deep slump with the ending of the Internet boom, the market has come surging back. In 2004 alone, prices rose 26% for apartment complexes, 21% for industrial properties, 14% for retail properties and 6% for office buildings, according to Real Capital Analytics, a New York real estate research firm. At the same time, however, a number of major institutional and private investors have been selling off large chunks of their portfolios of prime commercial real estate and putting the sale proceeds into less expensive real estate or into other assets entirely. Wharton experts and others look at real estate's revival as well as its risks.
