Commercial buildings

A commercial building is a building that is used for commercial use.^[1] Types can include office buildings, warehouses, or retail (i.e. convenience stores, ‘big box’ stores, shopping malls, etc.). In urban locations, a commercial building often combines functions, such as an office on levels 2-10, with retail on floor 1. Local authorities commonly maintain strict regulations on commercial zoning, and have the authority to designate any zoned area as such. A business must be located in an area zoned at least partially for commerce.
