Which of the following is a market analysis driver for commercial real estate?

• A. Accessibility
• B. Elevator height
• C. Parking ratio
• D. Construction cost index

Answer: (A)

Accessibility is a market analysis driver because how easily people, goods, and employees can reach a property strongly influences demand, occupancy, and rent levels. When a site has strong accessibility—easy access to highways, public transit, and dense pedestrian networks—it tends to attract more tenants and customers, making it more competitive in the market. The other factors are important for operations or cost considerations, but they don’t drive market demand to the same extent: elevator height is a design feature that affects tenant fit-out rather than market desirability, parking ratio is a property-level attribute that can influence tenant choice, and the construction cost index reflects overall development costs rather than the property's attractiveness in the market.
