2026 BOMA Market Study
The Economic Impact of U.S. Commercial Real Estate
The BOMA 2026 Market Study quantifies the economic impact of U.S. commercial real estate—showing how office, retail, and industrial properties contribute to jobs, output, and local economies.
From offices powering innovation to retail hubs driving consumer spending and industrial facilities moving goods, this report connects the role of commercial buildings to broader economic performance across markets.
It also captures how these properties generate economic activity beyond the businesses they house—from construction and development to day-to-day operations and investment.
As the market evolves in response to shifting work patterns, e-commerce growth, and changing industrial demand, the BOMA 2026 Market Study makes one thing clear: professionally managed commercial real estate remains a powerful economic engine.
