Commercial real estate (CRE) is a key driver of the U.S. economy, contributing $2.5 trillion to GDP in 2024 and supporting 14.2 million jobs. Beyond asset values and cap rates, CRE fuels local economies, supports diverse industries, and anchors community financial health, while adapting to rising capital costs, shifting space utilization, and labor challenges.
