New England Real Estate Journal

What New England Real Estate Journal does

New England Real Estate Journal (NEREJ), founded in 1963 and headquartered in Norwell, Massachusetts, is a privately-held B2B media company serving the commercial real estate (CRE) industry across the New England region. The company operates as a multi-format regional trade publication covering brokerage, construction/design/engineering, finance, owners/developers/managers, and industry "movers and milestones," organized across five geographic sub-regions (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Northern New England, Rhode Island, and Outside the Region). Its core audience consists of CRE brokers, developers, construction firms, lenders, and property managers operating in New England.

NEREJ's product portfolio includes a weekly Digital Edition with an archive spanning thousands of articles across major CRE categories (5,393+ brokerage, 6,561+ construction, 4,667+ finance), the NEREJ Connect Directory (124 professionals across 63 service categories), a video/podcast series (NEREJ/NYREJ Podcast), the Hot Property Alert listing service, the Daily Recap email newsletter, and an events series including the Maine State of the Market. The underlying technology is a web-based content platform with digital edition delivery, online archives, video/podcast hosting, and a searchable professional directory. NEREJ also maintains a sister-publication partnership with the New York Real Estate Journal (NYREJ) for cross-regional coverage.

NEREJ monetizes through four primary revenue streams: print and digital subscriptions at $189/year (recurring), display and digital advertising sales to CRE vendors and service providers, Connect Directory listings (recurring subscriptions for enhanced profiles), and event sponsorships across its regional event series. The company employs 11-50 people and operates with no disclosed external ownership, no funding rounds, and no public listing. Its go-to-market is sales-led, targeting both individual CRE professionals and CRE enterprises in the New England market via its owned website, digital editions, social channels, email newsletters, podcasts, and live events.
