Why Location Still Matters in Commercial Real Estate

July 15, 2025

Despite remote work trends, location remains a top factor in property performance and tenant demand.

“Location, location, location.” It’s the oldest saying in real estate — and still one of the most accurate. Even as technology, design, and tenant needs evolve, the physical location of a property remains one of the biggest drivers of long-term value.

A prime location means better visibility, easier access, and proximity to workforce, amenities, and transportation. These factors don’t just attract tenants — they keep occupancy rates high and support stronger rental income.

But great locations aren’t just about zip codes. They’re about alignment. The best-performing properties are the ones that match the needs of their market — whether that’s foot traffic for retail, commuter access for offices, or future development potential for land.

At Karv Management, we help our clients assess and maximize location value — whether it’s through strategic improvements, targeted marketing, or smart repositioning.

Because no matter how the market shifts, location still leads.
