NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Better Buildings, the leading New York regional magazine for the building management and maintenance community in the 1980’s, has been retooled as a national publication and relaunched as a quarterly supplement to ALM’s Real Estate Forum. In its new form, Better Buildings will focus on the bottom-line challenges of property operations.
“Our annual reader survey indicated a need for more serious, in-depth articles on best practices for building operations and management,” said Michael G. Desiato, Vice President and Group Publisher of ALM’s Real Estate Media Division. “We have set our sights on meeting that request.”
The new Better Buildings will kick-off in the February/March Annual Review issue of Forum and will go behind the scenes to examine what’s happening in the area of building-performance strategies and the associated bottom-line savings. More information is available at http://reforum.com/betterbuildings/.
The new publication will be under the direction of Content Director John Salustri, who served as Editor of the magazine in its earlier form. “Better Buildings was the must-read information source for the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut region,” said Salustri, a 24-year industry veteran. “We decided it was time for a national Better Buildings designed as both a print and digital platform for the new generation of property professionals who see day-to-day operations as a key expression of overall asset-management strategy.”
Better Buildings will report on the leaders and innovators who drive the industry, probe practices that are allowing real estate owners to add value to their properties in a competitive market, and highlight the technologies they use to bring their missions to life. It will include building profiles, product reviews, expert columns and features exploring such topics as energy performance, construction solutions, adaptive re-use trends, design innovations, and changing tenant expectations.
Its circulation will encompass approximately 54,000 executive-level decision makers via print and digital editions, covering a broad spectrum of commercial real estate endeavors from office, retail, residential and industrial structures to schools, hospitals, museums, government facilities and hotels.
