What does the Mobile commercial real estate market look like?

Mobile's commercial real estate market is anchored by its deepwater port, the Port of Mobile, which handles container, bulk, and roll-on/roll-off cargo and generates significant demand for warehouse and industrial properties along the I-65 corridor. The Airbus A320 final assembly line at the Brookley Aeroplex has established Mobile as a legitimate aerospace manufacturing center, attracting a network of parts suppliers and support services. Downtown Mobile along Dauphin Street has seen renewed investment in boutique hotels, restaurants, and Class B office conversions driven by tourism and the city's historic architecture.
