Sometimes there’s no more to real estate than what meets the eye.

The following set of pictures are breathtaking, weird, beautiful, or just plain interesting visual real estate productions.  Because if you’d asked Louis the XIV, the Sun King, just what rent he might come to expect on the Palace of Versailles, that would be the end of your French vacation.

Enjoy the imagination of real commercial real estate.

    Brilliant photos!

    I almost used the first one in a post the other day.

      I’d hope that if you were to use any photo, you’d try Randy’s (The Los Angeles Donut). Thank you for the comment!

    I work in CRE, but I love photography, thanks for mixing business with pleasure =). I really appreciate your guys personality in these posts. I’ve seen Shibuya, and that’s a slow night, wonderful place to visit though.

      We’ve been there as well, nothing like it. Glad you enjoyed the pics.

      Stephanie, let’s switch that order around! You love photography first and work CRE second. There’s nothing wrong with CRE but there’s nothing as exhilarating as capturing something beautiful. Thanks guys for the post, enjoyed it very much as well.

    definitely a group of awesome photos. for a short period i used both the central park and time square photos as my desktop image. i would point you to a few others but that i think could easily be on the list, but it would be annoying to try and find them online. theres a bunch of great nyc ones – times square, the nasdaq building, time warner center with columbus circle in front, bloomberg tower with a huge jet flying over the porte cochere, and manhattan from jersey that are all very similar. also, there is a chicago one that is near identical to “tokyo nightscape”. i expected to see some more dtla photos though, but i guess you guys see enough of that. you should do another 50 of more localized photos.

    (one nitpick with the photographers titles though, the rodeo drive photos are of one rodeo, but you know that)
