GlobeSt.com publishes about 35 pieces of original content per day, five days per week. Over the course of a year, that's upwards of 9,000 stories, interviews and analyses focused on commercial real estate and the various factors that impact the industry. While each of our stories has a story to tell, some of them drew more attention than others. To sum up the year that was, we're spotlighting the 17 most-read articles of 2017. Not surprisingly, a few key themes link several of the top 17. Anything related to the Trump administration, and its implications for CRE, was a big draw. Multifamily remains the darling of asset classes as far as investors are concerned and, clearly, as far as GlobeSt.com readers are concerned: seven of the top 17 stories this year focused on the apartment sector. Investment strategies and the "new economy" also attracted more than the usual number of page-views. Here's our roster of the year's top content based on readership. We thank you for making these your favorites, and for finding the time to take in 9,000 other stories, too.
