commercial buildings
Stores and offices
Commercial buildings are structures used for business rather than residential purposes—offices, retail stores, warehouses, hotels, and the like.
The term distinguishes them from residential, industrial, or institutional buildings in real estate, zoning, and construction contexts: The developer specializes in commercial buildings downtown.
Commercial building codes address different safety and accessibility requirements than residential ones.
