Commercial property prices have plummeted. When companies realized they could send workers home, and have the worker maintain internet, heating, cooling, janitorial, parking, and still be productive - many commercial buildings emptied - and remain empty.
I still see jobs advertised where people are herded into a Hotel conference room for interviews, are hired on a probationary period, are issued a laptop and sent to work from home. I see this in the hotel and travel industry, warranty call centers, and tech support.
Not sure that commercial buildings will ever recover to pre-covid times.

Home Depot built a huge, beautiful call center in Kennesaw Georgia. Pandemic hit. Building empty ever since. Parking lot empty.
