Less then 60 days into the New Year and IREN has reached a huge milestone. Through the end of February, the publication has published 118 original, exclusive stories. This is an IREN first and IREI first. Good start for the year.
IREN was rebranded in 2013 as a web-based news publication updating daily. The IREN team consists of two writers, along with occasional stories written by fellow editorial staff.
The IREN team ended 2013 with 500 original stories published. The 100th story was published on March 27, 2013: “TMRS invests in core and opportunistic real estate.” This year’s 100th story was “Heitman buys Northern California office complex” on Feb. 21.
Some major headlines from so far this year:
- GI Partners nears $2b fundraising goal
- Blackstone Group surpasses $5b in fundraising
- Townsend raises $357m for opportunistic multi-manager fund
- CalSTRS commits $818m to real estate

A month ends and a new month starts, which means more institutional real estate news coverage to come.
