Examples of KPIs in real estate include cost per square foot, cash flow metrics, occupancy costs, and revenue per square foot. The first step to utilizing indicators effectively is to identify those indicators that are relevant for use in a specific situation, and a trained real estate advisor can assist.

Green Revolution: Breaking new ground with eco-friendly commercial real estate

The Green Revolution has passed the borders of residential real estate: many commercial property developers are discovering the benefits of "going green" and incorporating environment-friendly elements into their projects:

Awareness of the importance of preserving the environment and reducing the carbon footprint of commercial development is on the rise, and people are gravitating towards green buildings and properties. Eco-friendly and energy-efficient buildings add value to a commercial development project. Apart from rallying support from the private sector, the US government gives incentives such as tax breaks, rebates, and grants to developers of green projects that use or invest in sustainable energy sources.

It's not enough for a developer to install solar panels on a building's roof to be able to truly call the entire structure "green." The U.S. Green Building Council recognizes and rates sustainable buildings with a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification. LEED is an international certifying body composed of industry experts that promote sustainable design and construction while maintaining profitability and value.

A good example of a LEED-certified building is the Philip Merrill Environmental Center in Maryland. The center is constructed from and furnished with recyclable materials and powered by passive and actor solar power. The process of getting a commercial property certified is long and detailed, but commercial properties can make a good start by making the most of technological advances in the field of sustainability and environmental stewardship.   Bryan Bartlett of Jacksonville, FL is a senior vice president at Newmark Grubb Phoenix Realty Group and a leading authority on commercial real estate brokerage.

As the country's economy continues to recover, significant foreign capital freely flows into commercial real estate. Global real estate investors have been increasing the flow of funds into US markets and the trend has caused property values to rise at much faster rates than if they were purchase by local investors.

According to the World Property Journal, investments from Canada, Norway, and China have been the most significant. Following these three countries, emerging markets like Singapore and some Middle Eastern countries have also been recipient of significant investment. In 2014, Canada was the largest buyer of US real estate with 26 percent of direct foreign investment. Norway and China had 12 percent and 10 percent, respectively.

Foreign investors have shifted their investment strategy from yield driven to capital preservation, as the U.S. enters a mature part of the real estate cycle. They are now more conservative with their investments in commercial real estate as they take a long-term stance. Due to this, foreign investors have been more willing to purchase trophy assets with long-term appeal at premium prices. U.S. properties are also considered safe investments and are judged more attractive, especially for investors from countries that are experiencing weakening currencies and financial distress.
