The IREN publication has published 608 original stories since the beginning of the year, surpassing the previous year’s goal of 500. (Last year, the 500th original IREN story was published on Dec. 31, 2013.)
The IREN team has increased its coverage, providing more international coverage of commercial real estate news.
During the month of August, 86 original stories were published, fewer than July’s record-setting pace, when 93 original stories were published, but still a strong pace when you consider that the publication only has two regular staff writers.
Major headlines that were posted to the IREI NewsCloud during August include:
- Illinois TRS searches for real estate consultant, commits $300m to real estate
- LaSalle awarded $1b U.K. property mandate
- S.F. Bay Area office rents continue to climb at leading global pace
- Three U.K. hotel portfolios sell for more than $1b
- Two Singapore firms invest in European markets
- Crown Estate JVs purchase two London retail properties for $1.2b
- Investors go big: 12 mega-funds account for 67 percent of first-half fundraising total

And September is off to a great start. Today’s headlines include:

- Principal buys interest in Manhattan office building
- Blackstone makes another investment in energy
- CMBS delinquencies rise for first time in 13 months
