Here's a snippet from the article:

This marks the first time in two years that a majority of respondents polled have expressed interest in increasing their real-estate exposure. Some say this is further evidence that the market has seen its lowest point and is now on the rebound. In fact, a majority of respondents foresee moderate performance in each of the five major property types--retail, office, industrial, multifamily, and hospitality.

The study shows commercial real estate to be showing bullish signs. In a related story, Tampa Bay's office market is on the rise, according to an article by Steve Huettel in today's St. Petersburg Times. Here's a snippet:

Pinellas County and downtown Tampa will be top-performing markets for office real estate in the country over the next two years, according to a new study.

Pinellas and Tampa rose to the top largely because of forecasts that local white-collar employment will grow 5 percent this year and 6 percent in 2005, compared to 2 percent growth nationally, said Larry Richey, who manages Cushman & Wakefield's Tampa and Orlando offices.

Because the office market's showing bullish signs, now's a great time to start investing in office space, such as office buildings. When the economy rebounds, this kind of real estate will likely yield some nice returns.
