This study investigates individual and institutional investors’ diversification benefits from commercial real estate investing. The study explores literature from 2008 using bibliometric, network, and content analysis. It seeks to uncover research patterns, notable contributors and sources, knowledge trends, and future research directions. For investigation, a search query collected 416 scholarly articles from Scopus, spanning from 2008 to 2023. Results provide insights into research distribution across countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany, highlighting a disparity between developing and developed nations. This study employed bibliographic coupling to identify six key domains: Risk and Performance Analysis, Sustainable Building Practices and Spatial Considerations, Investor Behaviour and Asset Pricing, Financialization and Urban Development, Portfolio Diversification and Information Analysis, and Global Scale Real Estate Investments. These domains span diverse facets of commercial real estate investing and offer perspectives on the present state of scholarly inquiry and potential avenues for future exploration. The study provides valuable knowledge for investors, researchers, and policymakers to understand current conditions and guide future research in this evolving field.
