Commercial property is valued by the income it can produce. Before looking at price, establish achievable rent, typical lease length and the cost of making a unit tenant-ready.
Retail works on footfall and visibility. Ground floor units on a main boulevard with glass frontage command a premium that is usually justified — but only where parking is available and signage rights are clear.
Offices are driven by location prestige and building services. Reliable backup power, central cooling, lift redundancy and secure parking decide whether a tenant signs for three years or one.
Warehousing and logistics demand clear height, container access and proximity to arteries such as the M-2 or Port Qasim. Yield is often higher, but so is tenant concentration risk with a single occupier.
Finally, model the full carrying cost: maintenance, society charges, municipal taxes and vacancy between tenants. Net yield, not gross rent, is what compounds.
