Green Street Sees CRE Prices Reaching All-Time Highs

The Green Street Commercial Property Price Index increased 0.4% in October, continuing a run of all-time highs, the Newport Beach-CA advisory firm reported Thursday. The all-property index has increased 18% this year and is now 9% higher than it was before the pandemic.

“Rent growth is better than expected, interest rates are still extraordinarily low, and as a result, property prices keep setting new highs,” said Peter Rothemund, co-head of strategic research at Green Street. “That’s not true for mall, office, or lodging, all of which remain short of pre-COVID marks, but those sectors are the exceptions.

“Even with the laggards, commercial property in aggregate is up nearly 10% from pre-pandemic levels, and prices of the best performers—industrial and self-storage—are up four times that amount,” he continued.

After industrial and self-storage, the best performing sector is manufactured home parks, where prices are up 31% from pre-pandemic levels.
