Commercial strata properties have unique insurance requirements because multiple owners, businesses and tenants may share the same building and common areas. Having an appropriate insurance arrangement can help owners corporations and property stakeholders manage risks associated with commercial property ownership.
Commercial Strata Insurance is designed specifically for eligible strata-titled commercial properties. Depending on the policy, insurance may provide protection for the building, common property and other insured risks.
Why Is Commercial Strata Insurance Important?
Commercial buildings can include offices, retail spaces, professional suites, warehouses and other shared commercial developments. Damage caused by an insured event can result in significant repair costs and disruption to businesses operating within the property.
An appropriate insurance policy can help provide financial protection against covered events and support the ongoing management of the property.
What Can Commercial Strata Insurance Cover?
The available cover depends on the policy, property and individual circumstances. Commercial strata insurance may include protection relating to:
Building structures
Common property and shared areas
Building fixtures and improvements
Certain property damage events
Public liability associated with the insured property
Other risks specified within the policy
Understanding the Property's Insurance Requirements
Every commercial strata property is different. Factors such as the type of building, location, construction, occupancy, facilities and how individual lots are used can influence insurance requirements.
Owners corporations and strata managers should regularly review their insurance arrangements to ensure they understand the cover in place and whether it remains appropriate for the property.
