These are a few of my favorite things! Defining commercial real estate asset class is essentially a property explaining how it identifies — not necessarily what its original intention was or what others think it ought to be. In a leasing world of mixed-everything uses, even blending traditional categories of commercial leases — retail, office, industrial — seems like a pedestrian, first-step exercise. Subcategories are complex integrations into traditional leasing models and require creatively applied knowledge and extrapolation from macro-category forms of lease.
