Environmental Quality Perceptions of Urban Commercial Real Estate

The aim of this article is to investigate locational attributes of commercial real estate which are defined in terms of a collection of qualitative appreciations by office users in the Geneva region in Switzerland. The empirical analysis of these environmental quality appreciations was carried out using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology with data from a qustionnaire which was sent to 1800 usrs of commercial real estate. The users belong to seven professional categories, thus making it possible to examine inter-professional differences between the appreciations.
