The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of remote work, leading to high office vacancy rates in major U.S. cities like San Francisco, Houston, and Seattle. This has negatively impacted commercial real estate, particularly office REITs such as Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE), BXP Inc (BXP), Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP), Cousins Properties (CUZ), and Kilroy Realty Corporation (KRC). ETFs like Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund (VNQ), Schwab US REIT ETF (SCHH), and Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) have fared better due to diversification.
