It is critical that investors know the pros and cons of each before making a move into the commerical arena.

So in the June issue of NZ Property Investor magazine we find out more.

Glittering high rise office blocks in the CBD, trendy shops in suburban malls, cosy neighbourhood bars, sprawling warehouses, out of town motels...

None of these things have much in common. Apart from the fact that they are all classified as commercial properties.

The realm of commercial property is a vast and diverse one, which encompasses a wide array of different property types.

For investors, the range of scale and type provides multiple entry points into investing. It also allows for effective portfolio diversification.

But, within the broader classification, there are three distinct sub-categories. These are the industrial, office and retail sectors.

There are significant differences between each sector and anybody looking to move into investing in commercial property needs to know what they are.

Further, there are attractive features, as well as challenges, that come with each commercial property category. And investors need to have a full understanding of them too.

The latest issue of NZ Property Investor magazine gives the rundown on each sector, as well as what investors need to know when they are picking a sector.
