The Connect Media integrated platform has entered the next phase of its evolution, launching a new website for CRE news. Connect CRE is the improved one-stop source for comprehensive information and can be found at www.connectcre.com.

Since launching in 2014, Connect has emerged as the “go-to” news outlet for commercial real estate, now capturing more than 250,000 unique visitors monthly and averaging nearly half a million page-views per month. That number is expected to grow due to an improved user interface that allows readers to more easily access the content that is important to them.

“Connect’s footprint has expanded from our roots with one news site serving the California market to a national platform across all 50 states,” said Connect Media CEO Daniel Ceniceros. “This new website brings together all Connect’s elements from news, to digital events, to our CRE marketing agency into a seamless experience that delivers more information.”

That rapid growth has resulted in the need for a new home for the 50 new stories published each day on deals, trends, and the people that drive the industry forward. The new website is organized around “reader hubs” to showcase content that spans 11 daily news markets and 10 commercial real estate property sectors including Office, Retail, Industrial, Apartments, Student Housing, Finance, Net Lease, Hospitality, and Distressed Assets, along with the popular Connect Weekender edition.

Ceniceros added, “The user interface of Connect CRE allows readers to simply get more news and exactly what they are looking for while staying true to our promise of delivering all they need in a short amount of their time. The new offerings showcase content, drive leads and impressions, and ultimately provide business development opportunities to advertisers and partners in a changing world where each of those factors are more important than ever.”
