ABSTRACT

In spite of an increased interest on commercial property, there is a lack of useful information for the interested investors. The utility of a commercial building such as accessibility and convenience diminishes as the floor level increases, which is referred to vertical gradient. This paper extends the application of vertical gradient of property utility to include not only rent but assessed price and investment earnings rate. Based on a nationwide sample of offices and retail buildings we found that (1) vertical gradient is useful in identifying the functions and demands of commercial areas when combined with composition of business categories; (2) comparison and integration of different types of vertical gradients help establish exploratory hypothesis on market trends such as possibility and degree of price fluctuations.
