- Why Australia adds to Green Street’s global news presence
- What next Green Street News will deliver exclusive news daily
Green Street has expanded its scoops-focused commercial real estate news operation to Australia, marking its first foray into the Asia-Pacific region.
The Newport Beach, Calif.-based data firm is entering the market through the purchase of Australian Property Journal, which has covered all sectors of the commercial real estate market for more than 20 years, and by hiring a team of veteran property journalists. APJ has been rebranded as Green Street News – Australia, and its extensive archive has been added to the Green Street News platform.
The expansion to Australia marks an important addition for Green Street News, which reports on institutional commercial property news in the UK and Ireland, Europe, the U.S. and Canada.
Larry Schlesinger leads the Australia team as managing editor. Most recently with the Australian Financial Review, Schlesinger has covered the property sector for nearly two decades. He’s joined by Nelson Yap, founder of and lead journalist for APJ; Su-Lin Tan, whose career includes stints at the South China Morning Post as well as the AFR; and Layton Holley, previously of the Border Mail in Albury-Wodonga.
“This expansion marks the latest major milestone in Green Street News‘ growth and Green Street’s overall mission to empower the global Commercial Real Estate community,” said Jeff Stuek, chief executive of Green Street. “We are breaking ground not only in a new country, but on a new continent to provide the most actionable insights to our consumer base of high-level CRE professionals.”
Green Street News will deliver scoops on property deals, personnel moves and financings as well as trend stories, Q&As and other features via daily bulletins to subscribers.
