A Year Later, Assessing the Extent of Property Damage from the 2017 Hurricanes

It remains to be seen how long the complete recovery of the real estate industries, both commercial and residential, will take in the impacted markets.

A year ago, three devastating hurricanes struck the United States. Since then, commercial real estate professionals in the affected regions have been dealing with the aftermath.

In many cases, commercial properties in the storm-ravaged areas of Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico either did not sustain significant damage or were able to bounce back. Some in the industry also say that investor interest in these markets continues to be high, pointing to the need to fuel recovery efforts or proof that some places were able to withstand brutal storms.
