Alaska Commercial Real Estate Leasing
Alaska was second only to Hawaii in becoming a US State in 1959. Alaska is the largest state in the US in terms of land area, but the habitable regions of the state are limited by massive glaciers, ice fields and protected wilderness habitats. Alaska's massive natural resources are managed by a government organization through the Alaska Permanent Fund which invests a portion of the revenues from resources such as oil, timber & mining back into Alaskan public works.
Alaska's economy centers around the extraction of natural resources, including the Trans-Alaska pipeline, which provides almost 10% of the petroleum consumed in the United States. Freighters, tankers & planes provide much of Alaska's transportation, although road systems connect to the Canadian highways, allowing vehicle access from the lower 48 states.
The majority of commercial real estate leases in Alaska relate to office buildings, shopping centers, industrial properties, and other commercial real estate located in Alaska's major cities, which include Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome, Barrow, and Juneau.
