Abstract
As America’s housing market will be transformed, so will its nonresidential spaces such as offices and shopping—maybe more than some might think. In most urbanized areas, nonresidential space accounts for a third or more of the built environment (excluding rights-of-way and other public spaces) and often accounts for half or more of the taxable value. It is also prone to more rapid depreciation, potential blight, and renewal than residential development.
