Direct peers

• Bisnow: National commercial real estate media company producing newsletters, events, and digital content covering CRE markets across the U.S. Bisnow is the most direct peer to CREJ in business model (B2B CRE media + events), though operating at a national rather than Colorado-only scale.
• REBusiness Online: Commercial real estate news outlet covering transactions, development, and industry trends across multiple U.S. regions. Comparable editorial product and audience to CREJ's digital newspaper.
• Commercial Property Executive: National CRE media brand covering office, industrial, multifamily, retail, and capital markets news and analysis. Direct peer in commercial real estate trade journalism and digital advertising.
• Connect CRE: Regional CRE media and events company producing local market publications and conferences in multiple U.S. metros. Directly comparable to CREJ's model of statewide CRE newspaper plus property-specific conferences.
• Commercial Observer: B2B media company covering commercial real estate, finance, and design with newsletters, print editions, and events. Comparable to CREJ as a vertical CRE publisher serving brokers, developers, and investors, though concentrated in the New York market.
• National Real Estate Investor: Long-established CRE trade publication covering investment, finance, and capital markets. Comparable to CREJ's broader newspaper and its Finance/Investment editorial sections.
• GlobeSt (GlobeSt.com): Commercial real estate media brand operated by MultiMedia Group covering office, industrial, multifamily, retail, and capital markets. Direct peer in CRE trade publishing and events, similar editorial vertical and audience.

Emerging players

• Multi-Housing News: Specialist media brand focused on the multifamily rental housing sector. Comparable to CREJ's Multifamily Properties Quarterly as a vertical-pure CRE publication serving investors, developers, and operators.
• Seniors Housing Business: Trade media brand dedicated to the seniors housing and care real estate sector. Comparable to CREJ's Health Care & Senior Housing editorial coverage as a vertical CRE publication serving a specific property type.

Regional players
