GRAPEVINE, Page 13Yet Another Life After Death
By JANICE CASTRO
Who says U.S. commercial real estate is dead? Although
property values have plunged more than 30% in the past five
years, some people think all that empty space may yet turn to
gold. Sixteen of the largest U.S. pension funds plan to invest
$3.4 billion in commercial property this year, according to
Price Waterhouse. That is more than twice what they spent last
year. Banks and S&Ls may still be shunning the sector, but
pension-fund money managers hope to pick up devalued holdings
and watch the profits roll in when the industry revives.
