Trends in the international commercial real estate market are the focus of a new section in the newspaper and at iht.com.
PARIS -- March 2006--The International Herald Tribune (IHT) has announced the launch of Commercial Properties, a new section appearing in the newspaper every other Wednesday and at iht.com/properties.
Commercial Properties will cover all commercial real estate segments, including office, retail, hotel/tourism, industrial/warehouse and niche.
The geographical focus of the section will be truly international, ranging from mature and emerging markets in Europe and Asia to the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.
The International Herald Tribune is the premier international newspaper for opinion leaders and decision-makers around the globe. It combines the extensive resources of its own correspondents with those of The New York Times and is printed at 32 sites throughout the world, for sale in more than 180 countries. Based in Paris since 1887, the IHT is part of The New York Times Company.
While The New York Times Company, a leading media company with 2005 revenues of $3.4 billion, includes The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, The Boston Globe, 15 other daily newspapers, nine network-affiliated television stations, two New York City radio stations and 35 Web sites, including NYTimes.com, Boston.com and About.com.
Commercial Properties will cover all commercial real estate segments, including office, retail, hotel/tourism, industrial/warehouse and niche. In addition, hot topics like mixed-use, luxury and multi-family developments will be covered, along with in-depth sector overviews, analysis of major developments in the market and profiles of notable real estate companies.
The geographical focus of the section will be truly international, ranging from mature and emerging markets in Europe and Asia to the Americas, the Middle East and Africa. In addition, the section will cover commercial real estate as an investment asset and business indicator to help investors follow this fast-changing market.
Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, senior vice president and commercial director of the IHT, said, "The launch of Commercial Properties is excellent news for our international readers and advertisers alike. The commercial real estate market is growing at an unprecedented pace and we are anticipating that this new feature will prove a very popular addition to The New York Times's and the IHT's global real estate offerings."
Since The New York Times Company became the 100% owner of the International Herald Tribune in January 2003, the newspaper has carried out the most significant series of investments in its 119-year history, increasing pagination, color capacity and adding a number of new print sites. In 2005, the IHT also created an Asian newsroom in Hong Kong and appointed a team of high-profile correspondents throughout the region.
