While 2024 may be done and dusted, we at Green Street News would like to take an extra beat to reflect on our debut year in the market.
Our six intrepid reporters hit the ground running this past summer, and since then have produced more than 330 pieces of proprietary content, including breaking news on major property deals and financings, Q&As and trend stories.
Below is a recap of the articles we’re most proud of from 2024 – all exclusive to Green Street.
Thank you to all our subscribers for your support this past year, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the best commercial real estate content in Canada. Onward and upward!
