Why Early Investors Earn the Highest Returns in Commercial Real Estate

The commercial real estate industry is widely viewed as a very lucrative form of investing. Yet one aspect gives the average investor a substantial advantage over those who receive above-average returns – timing. Those who invest early in a commercial project will typically see a greater investment return; this is due to investing much less (lower acquisition costs) and having future appreciation of the asset.

The Advantage of Early Entry

Typically, commercial projects have the most attractive pricing when a new one launches, since early pricing is a tool developers use to promote investor interest and build momentum for the project.

Those who invest early in a commercial project cycle will typically reap the benefits of increased property value through appreciation over the entire duration of the cycle.

Higher Capital Appreciation Potential

With the development of the surrounding area, as well as an increase in commercial activity, an increased demand for retail space is anticipated. Property values will fluctuate considerably over time due to improved connectivity, increasing populations, and improving infrastructure.

Buyers entering the market early will benefit from purchasing retail property prior to appreciation taking place throughout the entire project, as well as once the property has been completed and rented by a retail tenant.

Better Choice of Units

Commercial property investment generally offers early investors the most choice when it comes to commercial units. Therefore, they have a greater opportunity to pick:

- Shopping units along prime frontages

- Units situated in high-visibility locations

- Corner units

- Locations close to entrances and/or key access points

Such locations tend to attract higher levels of foot traffic and are therefore anticipated to generate higher levels of demand from prospective tenants as time passes.

• Easy accessibility

• Growing customer bases

Opportunity for Rental Revenue Generation

Investors who invest in commercial properties first stand to gain appreciation over the long term, but also rent from tenants as their businesses expand.
