2026 Commercial Real Estate Lookahead: The Asset Classes to Watch<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

New York office, top malls and AI-driven data centers are among the property types that have a busy year ahead of them \u2014 as does the financing behind them all<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s all going to depend.<\/p>\n

Commercial property owners will face a friendlier economic environment in 2026 if the pace of inflation is slower and interest rates are lower. Even without declines in prices and borrowing costs, commercial property owners should do well in certain asset classes, including high-end retail stores, AI-driven data centers and Manhattan office space.<\/p>\n

But the 2026 economy may not be friendly enough for some owners to grow revenue faster than expenses and to repay maturing loans on their income-producing properties. A survey of more than 850 executives in the commercial real estate industry by the Deloitte accounting firm found that some of them don\u2019t expect their companies to repay property loans in full when they mature in the coming year.<\/p>\n

...<\/p>\n

AI and data centers and all that<\/strong>
\nThe development of data centers is key to the expansive efforts to enhance artificial intelligence. But the AI companies behind these developments face ample obstacles, including access to electrical power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many markets, it can take four years or more to have high capacity power lines extended to new development sites,\u201d according to a report on the outlook for data centers by brokerage firm JLL. \u201cMost of this delay is associated with securing easements and regulatory approvals. \u2026 These challenges have led to a shift in site selection criteria, with land now being evaluated based on available power capacity and proximity to transmission lines, rather than pricing or total acreage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rapid advances in semiconductor technology have put data centers \u201cat the precipice of a transformative era driven by the relentless advancement of artificial intelligence,\u201d JLL reported. Yet sales of data centers are infrequent, \u201cdue to significant bid-ask spreads and lack of available product.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development of AI is driving the development of data centers, which are designed to make money by leasing server space to users, and the demand is so strong that most server space is spoken for long before new data centers open.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoughly three-fourths of our [national] construction pipeline in data centers is pre-leased,\u201d said Carl Beardsley, senior managing director and national data center leader at JLL. \u201cIt is the most liquid side of the market for construction financing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Development takes time, though, and a lot of it. \u201cIf someone is closing on land today, they may not break ground or need a construction loan for three to five years,\u201d Beardsley said. \u201cIt can take a minimum of three years, after you close on a site, to get all the supply chain in order and get power to the site. It\u2019s not as if they\u2019re just closing on the site and they\u2019re going vertical, like an industrial project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Political resistance to data center developments has spread nationwide due largely to citizens\u2019 concerns about the water and electricity they consume. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of community resistance to data centers,\u201d Beardsley said. \u201cIt feels like it\u2019s everywhere right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Difficulty in procuring adequate electrical power is a bigger impediment to new data centers than local community resistance, said Matt Rotolante<\/a><\/strong>, president of the South Florida region at Lee & Associates, a commercial real estate brokerage that works with landowners seeking to sell property for data center development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current electrical grid throughout the country isn\u2019t built to handle these additional needs, so it\u2019s probably the biggest thing that everybody\u2019s talking about,\u201d Rotolante said. \u201cI\u2019ve heard stories about agents literally just following the power lines to go look at the substations and seeing if they have room for more transformers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the most prominent users of data centers are companies such as Amazon, Alibaba, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Oracle.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these groups have their own AI platforms,\u201d Rotolante said. \u201cChatGPT and similar groups are leveraging the same systems.\u201d Large users often rely on more than one data center because they want backups in place. \u201cIf you have a failure in one area, it just rolls over to the next data center,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have redundancy.\u201d<\/p>\n
