My little discussion about real estate
For example, it can be a piece of property with a strip mall on it. Commercial real estate is vacant land that is zoned to allow all kinds of commercial businesses to be built on it. It may even be a piece of property with a place of residence now standing on it. What happens is that the town may begin to encroach on residential property and then the property may be rezoned to allow it to be reclassified as commercial real estate now. A town may grow to the point where a house that was safely located in a residential zone may need to be cleared out for commercial real estate once the town has grown to a certain point.
