Although the majority of commercial properties continue to struggle, triple-net leases continue to be the best performing sector of the commercial real estate marketplace and will likely continue to do so, with some generating as high as double digit annualized returns.

In general, the commercial real estate sector has taken a devastating blow as a result of the global recession. During 2007 though 2009, the sector as a whole witnessed prices fall by nearly 40 percent, as the sector is highly dependent on and driven by a booming economy and job creation. However, one sector in commercial real estate that didn’t fall as hard as the others was triple-net leases; they declined in value by nearly 15 percent during 2007-2009 (the S&P 500 dropped nearly 24 percent during the same time period).
