Commercial real estate property value in Detroit is on the rise, as the city, much like the rest of the country, has been in recovery mode since the last economic recession over a decade ago. Crain’s Detroit Business reports that this trend is healthy for the CRE market here, and they expect it to continue to rise with the demand for commercial real estate space in the region. One of the sectors that benefits from all of this is industrial real estate in the area.
