Chapter 4 in European Real Estate, 2015, pp 84-98 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Commercial real estate is a central component of the real estate industry, and it is the most dynamic in terms of innovation and asset management practices. Through the years, this sector has experienced a continuous evolution. First and foremost, innovation has concerned the modalities of access to the investment. If in the past commercial real estate was predominantly considered an investment in physical assets, today, thanks in particular to the rise of specialized market vehicles, this asset class has consolidated a relevant position as a proper financial investment and is an essential component in the portfolios of the majority of the institutional investors. In fact, a part of traditional direct investment, commercial real estate nowadays is extensively accessible through a wide range of indirect investments options, in particular in the most advanced countries such as, in Europe, United Kingdom and France.1
