commercial building

Retail or office

A commercial building is a structure used for business purposes rather than residential living.

This includes office buildings, retail stores, shopping centers, warehouses, hotels, and restaurants.

The term distinguishes such properties from residential buildings in real estate, zoning, and construction contexts: The lot is zoned for commercial buildings only.
