Covid Impact On Commercial Real Estate Industry The commercial real estate market in India has been hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused a number of trends to grow, including a rise in the demand for digital comforts and facilities devoted to health. Demand for flexible workspaces and the office sector has risen in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The commercial real estate sector saw a massive decline following the enforcement of the nationwide lockdown in March 2020. Despite the odds, the industry has survived and shown resilience. The commercial real estate sector has seen a rise in demand due to a consistent vaccination rate across the nation, and the pattern is expected to continue. Companies from many sectors are expected to resume working from offices, which would result in a major increase in demand for commercial spaces.

Due of their good experience, Grade A tenants are preferred by landlords.
