New York Real Estate Journal

What New York Real Estate Journal does

New York Real Estate Journal (NYREJ) is a privately held, subscriber-based business publication founded in 1989 that serves as a regional trade media source for the New York commercial real estate industry. The company is headquartered at 17 Accord Park Drive #207 in Norwell, Massachusetts, and operates with 11-50 employees. NYREJ distributes commercial real estate news, market intelligence, deal information, and industry event coverage to brokers, developers, property managers, investors, lenders, attorneys, architects, and construction firms across New York State and New England, organized by both category (Brokerage, Construction Design & Engineering, Finance, Owners Developers & Managers, Movers & Milestones, Spotlight Content, Thought Leadership) and region (New York City, Long Island, Hudson Valley, Capital Region, Central NY, Western NY, Outside the Region, New England).

The company's core technology is a digital-first publishing platform combining a content website (nyrej.com), subscription digital editions with archival access, a paid professional services directory (NYREJ Connect Directory with 105 professionals across 41 categories), the NEREJ/NYREJ podcast and video channel, Daily Recap email newsletters, and Hot Property Alert notifications. The content library is substantial — over 28,000 brokerage articles, more than 4,200 construction/design/engineering articles, and thousands of additional pieces across categories — forming a deep historical archive of New York CRE activity.

NYREJ monetizes through three primary revenue streams: recurring print and digital subscriptions (with a stated Stay Informed rate of $189/year for the print edition), advertising and sponsored content across its website and digital editions, and paid professional directory listings. Distribution spans the company website, email, social channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram), podcast platforms, and a separate nerej.com site for New England coverage. Customer concentration is distributed across a long tail of CRE professionals rather than concentrated in enterprise anchors, and the publication operates independently with no disclosed parent company or institutional investor backing.
