- Who says U.S. commercial real estate is dead? Although
- property values have plunged more than 30% in the past five
- years, some people think all that empty space may yet turn to
- gold. Sixteen of the largest U.S. pension funds plan to invest
- $3.4 billion in commercial property this year, according to
- Price Waterhouse. That is more than twice what they spent last
- year. Banks and S&Ls may still be shunning the sector, but
- pension-fund money managers hope to pick up devalued holdings
- and watch the profits roll in when the industry revives.
