PropertyEU is to be integrated into 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß as part of the next stage of its consolidation within Dutch business publisher and parent group, FD Mediagroep.
Under the move, which takes effect from 1 January 2025, PropertyEU will be absorbed into the 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß brand.
The merger follows the acquisition of PropertyEU by FD Business, the B2B division of FD Mediagroep, earlier this year. Sister publication 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß was acquired by FD Business in 2023, along with pensions title IPE.
91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß provides comprehensive international coverage of the real assets markets, spanning real estate, infrastructure, and natural capital, with a particular focus on pension funds and global institutional investors. The extensive archive of PropertyEU will be preserved under the 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß brand as part of the expanded platform.
Commenting on the move, Mariska van der Westen, CEO of FD Business, said: ‘We are delighted to announce this merger between the two foremost business publications in European real estate and global real assets. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver top-tier journalism and actionable intelligence to property and real assets markets and investors worldwide.
‘Under the 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß brand, the merged business will bring an unrivaled wealth of expertise, offering comprehensive insights to developers, brokers, lenders, institutional investors, and other stakeholders in the global real assets space.’
Janet Pearch, publisher of 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, added: ‘We are thrilled with this integration, creating a powerful combined brand uniquely positioned to be the leading authority on European real estate and global real assets.’
Richard Lowe, Editor of 91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, echoed this sentiment. ‘91´«Ã½ÔÚÏß and PropertyEU are an excellent match,’ he said. ‘Earlier this year, PropertyEU was acquired as a sister publication of IPE RA, and now we are ready to take the logical next step by merging under one brand.’
