Commercial real estate, or CRE, is the market for buying, selling, and leasing real estate for commercial purpose, such as office buildings, shopping centers, industrial warehouses, and multifamily housing units. It depends on a number of factors, including the demand for space, borrowing rates, shifts in consumer behavior, and the status of the economy. While there are typically more openings and lower rental rates during downturns, office and retail space is typically in great demand during boom periods.

Drivers: The notable growth in Oman's commercial real estate market can be attributed to a number of factors, including the arrival of new co-working spaces, the creation of traditional office space dedicated to start-ups and new businesses, and the potential expansion of the travel and hospitality sectors as a result of relaxed regulations and vaccination campaigns. Oman has recently invested heavily in the hotel sector, focusing on eco-friendly and cultural travel in addition to exclusive resorts. The country has faced competition from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, two neighboring countries with sizable hospitality industries. The Sultanate, however, is attempting to establish itself as a travel destination now that it offers so many advantages, such as breathtaking natural scenery and a strong commitment to sustainable tourism.

Challenges: The increasing focus on remote work and online shopping is one of the main factors preventing the commercial real estate industry from growing. Technological developments and changes in consumer behavior, including the rise in online shopping, have reduced the demand for traditional retail spaces. As more consumers shop online, traditional brick-and-mortar retail establishments have seen a decline in foot traffic. The trend toward remote work has also affected the need for office space. Because of the increased focus on remote work and flexible office architecture, businesses are reevaluating their operational paradigms.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on Oman's commercial real estate sector, resulting in a drop in investment and demand. Particularly in towns like Muscat, lockdowns, travel restrictions, and a shift to remote work all contributed to a decline in the demand for office space and retail establishments. Many financially troubled organizations have reduced their workforces or shifted to flexible work arrangements, which has further reduced the demand for huge office spaces. However, as e-commerce expanded and supply chain efficiency became more important, there was a greater need for warehouses and distribution centers, which helped the industrial and logistics sectors become more resilient.
