A commercial building is a building that is used
for commercial use. Types can include office buildings, warehouses,
or retail. In urban locations, a commercial building often combines
functions, such as an officeon levels 2-10, with retail on floor 1. Local
authorities commonly maintain strict regulations on commercial zoning,
