Full speed ahead

Barring an unexpected economic catastrophe, commercial real estate along the Gulf Coast in 2016 should continue its unabated surge, according to those in the industry.

The coming year will likely see impressive gains in a multitude of sectors, and may result in new — and perhaps speculative — development in office, industrial and retail space.

And as has been the case in 2015, multifamily, hospitality and senior housing projects will generate the bulk of investor and developer interest alike. Experts maintain that despite concerns of oversupply, none of those three sectors will likely slow in the year ahead.
