Commercial Properties and Their Profitability Percentage in 2021

Last year gave us a more favorable outlook on the country’s economy. Large, medium, and small industries in our city helped generate greater economic movement and prevented stagnation as seen in previous months. The gradual return to normality and the celebration of many festivities allowed merchants to resume their activities normally, thanks to the demand for their products and services.
For this reason, the performance of several properties is expected to return to the levels of return they typically had prior to 2020. Below, we share some data provided by La Lonja de Propiedad Raíz de Medellín y Antioquia in last year’s reports.
According to the study conducted, warehouses for rent in Medellín and other areas of the Aburrá Valley showed significant growth in supply for both leasing and sale, with profitability rates close to 0.49%. It should be noted that this varies depending on the area and its location.

Likewise, it is important to consider that rental fees for commercial properties that experienced reductions in 2020 have begun to return to normal values, indicating that profitability in this type of property tends to improve.
Regarding retail spaces for rent in Medellín located in large shopping malls, the average net profitability rate is 0.33% per month. For retail spaces located in shopping centers with stronger commercial tenants, profitability reaches 0.38%.


For used residential properties, a sample of 140,000 homes in Medellín, Envigado, and Sabaneta (socioeconomic strata 4, 5, and 6) showed a contraction of nearly 30%.
