Buildings, Data and, Scale

We as in we are commercial real estate and to most of us all, that means buildings. Buildings that we don’t occupy as a residence. Yes, I know there are companies out there starting to blur even that definition. But for now, let’s just keep to the basic definition of.

Buildings: It could be one simple individual building in a secondary market occupied by five different companies. It could be a portfolio of buildings across the globe occupied by A-rated tenants of all types. We are all in those types of building in some form or the other every day.
