Commercial real estate is a broad category that includes a high variety of space types designed to meet the needs of various industries of the local economy and their specialized subsectors, as presented in our real estate 101 guide to types of commercial real estate. However, there are three main categories that you are most likely to come across: office, retail, and industrial space.

The Pomona commercial real estate market incorporates 670,954 square feet of office space across 13 buildings.
Office buildings can also accommodate coworking spaces, which are shared office options that typically cater to the needs of small, startup businesses that require flexible workspaces, a concentration of amenities, and services that can be accessed on an occasional or short-term basis.
Retail space includes shopping malls, department stores, street retail, or specialty stores dedicated to a narrow range of products. Such properties are typically located in high foot-traffic and/or car traffic areas, to facilitate customer access.

Industrial property most often serves businesses operating in manufacturing or logistics and generally consists of large open spaces located within good access to roads, railways, freight airports or regional water ports. Industrial space listings can include warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, flexible industrial space, or even data center facilities.

The price of renting or buying commercial real estate is influenced by a variety of factors, including: the property type (for example, office space is priced higher than other property types in most locations); the condition and asset class rating (property rated class A or above will typically command a higher price than lower grade classifications); the quality or the development potential of the property location; whether or not there is high demand for the type of commercial asset in question; and what the state of supply is relative to demand.
The average rent for commercial real estate space listed for lease in Pomona is $24.05 per square foot. However, this value does not offer enough perspective on its own, as you will find significant variation in prices across property types, property classes, and location, as well as other impacting factors. For instance, rent per square foot of office space in Pomona can vary greatly depending on the rating of the property from Class A to Class C, as well as across the city depending on the location of the asset. What’s more, each commercial property type makes its own rent market: while the average rent for office space rested at $29.71 per square foot, industrial space in Pomona saw average rents of $14.3 per square foot.
Whether you are looking for commercial real estate for lease or commercial property for sale, the best choice of location depends on the factors that are most relevant to your business strategy. A good thing to look for at the start, however, is the areas of the city that have the highest concentration of your preferred type of property, as these areas are generally well connected to the amenities and points of interest that are most relevant to each property type.
As such, there are several areas that you could consider to be the best location for commercial real estate in Pomona, depending on the property type you are interested in. The highest concentration of commercial space listings of any kind in Pomona is in the Downtown Pomona neighborhood. But if we look at each commercial property type, we find that for office space, the best location is the Downtown Pomona area.
Meanwhile, retail space opportunities are most abundant in the North Pomona submarket. Alternatively, if you are looking for warehouse or other industrial space, consider looking at listings in Spadra.

Regardless of whether buying or leasing commercial space is a new experience for you, there are significant benefits to working with a commercial real estate broker. In addition to saving you time and money, an experienced broker will contribute specialist knowledge of the local market, the property type you need representation for, and will handle negotiations on your behalf in your best interest.
To start, it is important for you to have a good understanding of what kind of broker you need. For instance, there are differences between a tenant broker and a listing broker. Also important at the start is to have a clear idea of what kind of space (or tenant) you are looking for and what (if any) particular needs and requirements you might have. And, while it is good to get a referral, you should interview several brokers to better gauge who you feel would best represent your interests.

The profitability of a commercial real estate investment depends on a multitude of factors working together. These factors include the quality of the asset itself — which itself includes aspects such as location, property class, amenities, and the quality of the property management — to the local market conditions, the state of the local economy, the demand for that particular type of commercial property, and of course the costs of owning and maintaining it relative to what leasing rate or sale price you get from the property. Asking rents in the city went as high as $30.6 per square foot. In particular, the property type commanding the highest lease rates in Pomona was Office space.
Conversely, the highest sale price last year was $7,150,000 that is located at 1902 Royalty Drive.

Pomona — located east of downtown Los Angeles in San Bernardino County — is historically routed in agriculture but has since become a largely residential neighborhood. However, the city is ideally located in the Inland Empire for the logistics industry — close to Ontario International Airport and two interstate highways — and has developed a thriving local economy. California State Polytechnic University is also in Pomona, and the city is just minutes from excellent outdoor recreational activities like skiing, hiking, and camping in the San Gabriel Mountains and Chino Hills.
