SAN FRANCISCO- San Francisco, for the fifth straight year, was ranked by investors as the top U.S. commercial real estate market, according to the annual study by Lend Lease Real Estate Investments and PricewaterhouseCoopers. The study also found that investors expect downtown office buildings, apartments and warehouses to perform well while limited service hotels and retail shopping centers lag because of overbuilding. New York was ranked second, followed by Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., according to the report. (10/26/00) Source: LA Times
