Product Description
The well-known and respected authorship team of Geltner and Miller bring you a new edition of what has become the undisputed and authoritative resource on commercial real estate investment. Streamlined and completely updated with expanded coverage of corporate and international real estate investment, this upper-level text presents the essential concepts, principles and tools for the analysis of commercial real estate (income producing) from an investment perspective. This new book continues to integrate relevant aspects of urban and financial economics to provide users with a fundamental analytical understanding and application of real estate investments – now using ARGUS software. Contributing author Piet Eichholtz from the University of Maasstricht contributes an entire chapter that explores international real estate investments, both opportunistically and structurally, by outlining elements for developing and implementing real estate investments successfully abroad. Jim Clayton from the University of Cincinnati thoroughly revised and updated the finance coverage and real-life applications throughout. Geltner and Miller enhance their pedagogy by adding in a discussion of the real options application to real estate development and streamlining the discussion of data returns.

 lots of good information, 2008-08-14
Although I haven't finished reading this text, I think I can accurately comment on it. The information comes from an economics perspective. that's a good thing, if you have an economics background, which I do. I like the way this book reads. It offers a good deal of information about commercial real estate using both financial and urban economics. I don't believe this book is appropriate for an undergrad student. This book assumes you have a basic finance background and some understanding of urban economics. In short, if you have an econ degree or even a finance degree, I think you'll find this text very useful in helping you to understand what drives the commercial real estate market, how to predict where this market is going, how to analyze it, and how to valuate it.

Great Advanced Text on Commercial Real Estate, 2008-02-26
This is one of the most comprehensive, analytical and thorough texts on topics concerning commercial real estate investment that I have come accross. It would be useful for both advanced students with real estate interests and finance professionals, who seek exposure to fundamental real estate (and real estate securities) analysis. Participants in the real estate industry mishgt find the text useful, but basic. The book is also useful as a reference guide for real estate professionals looking for a particular mathematical formula.
The authors cover a very broad range of topics - from urban economics, to fundamental (supply/demand) real estate analysis, to real estate valuation techniques as well as more specialized topics, such as commercial mortgage backed securities and real estate development. The book really stands out in the breadth of its disourse both on qualitative and quantitative topics.

Solid Book , 2007-08-29
This book is really serious. It gives you data sets, a massive amount of study questions with solutions and sample programs (Argus & Crystal Ball--which is used for probability). This book is like the bible. It goes from simple real estate i.e buy low & sell high all the way to mortgage backed securities, options and derivatives. After reading the book you will know more than most executives.
It may not be for those that are more into urban planning or construction management, but if you need and want a book that blends real estate with the capital markets this is the one.I highly recommend it.

Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investments (with CD-ROM), 2007-05-29
Just everything okay, considering it had to be shipped from the US to the UK, arrived even earlier than some of the books I ordered same time from UK suppliers.
Small unsubstantial damage on cover of book though, probably caused by transport.

You better KNOW you care about commercial real estate, 2007-03-22
Commercial real estate is not for the faint of heart. I have been in residential real estate for a while and have on several occasions dealt with commercial real estate folks and issues surrounding it.
On the plus side, if you are looking for an exhaustive source of information on evaluating commercial real estate, you have arrived. This volume is going to give you all the information you need to analyze any situation to death. Perhaps to the point that small bits of brain dribble out your ear.
If your a dabbler... or someone who has thought, "Gee... I wonder if commercial real estate would be interesting to get into?" then this is NOT the place for you to start that journey of self discovery.
There are much smaller, shorter, lighter more digestible books out there on the subject that will give you a feel for what you might be getting into.
So, if you are someone already knee deep in commercial real estate, or someone deadly serious about being able to really analyze commercial properties, then this one is for you.
