Corporate real estate refers to the real estate assets, whether owned or leased, that are used or owned by a business organization in connection with its business operations.
Corporate real estate includes a wide variety of real property, from manufacturing and R&D facilities, to headquarter campuses and branch offices. In the retail industry, corporate real estate can also be used to reference the gamut of retail venues used in operations, from freestanding to in-line facilities, to leased, ground-leased, and owned locations.
The National Association of Corporate Real Estate Executives is a prominent industry association for real estate professionals working in this area.
