Multi Talented: News About Us
We’re proud of our colleagues this week.
They’ve toiled long and burnt the midnight oil to bring audiences something bright and new–a sign of their redoubled intent to be the first, best source of insight on the multifamily housing management, economics, and leadership.
Here’s the topline thought on the new multifamilyexecutive.com Web site from the brand’s primary steward, editor-in-chief Shabnam Mogharabi.
But first a look at the fresh new design of mfe.com. Have a visit.
Here’s how Mogharabi describes the new features and functions.
>> Real-Time Data and Research As mentioned above, our senior editor Les Shaver leveraged MFE’s strong relationships with the industry’s leading research firms to provide something no other multifamily industry publication can offer: Up-to-the-minute, real-time national and regional market research. Throughout the site, you’ll find built-in widgets from Real Capital Analytics, M/PF Yieldstar, and others that provide customizable, searchable data on occupancy and vacancy levels, transaction volumes, rent trends, and more. In addition, the new site features a live stock ticker with continuously updating information on publicly traded multifamily real estate companies.
>> Multimedia-Rich Experience With the re-launch, we are now able to offer enhanced multimedia offerings and interactive features such as slideshows, polls, and Webinars. We also have, through our newly launched MFETV platform, four new videos up on the site, including a 20-minute sit-down interview with Henry Cisneros conducted at the AFT Conference last month.
>> Local and Regional Coverage Since multifamily real estate is very much a local game, it was important for us to be able to have some locally focused content. We were able to modify a Flash-based map created for Remodeling’s Web site and modify it to link to lists of MFE articles about specific markets, both at the local and state level. This was a temporary solution that I think works well for us until we are able to build more targeted local markets pages.
>> MFE Top 50 Rankings Our annual industry benchmark—the list of MFE’s Top 50 Owners, Managers, and Developers—is now viewable in a user-friendly table format that allows for a quick scan to find the company or information needed from any year in which the survey was conducted. And the data can be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet for easy reference.
>> Daily Exclusive News / Content Aggregation Our vision for MFE.com was to be news-heavy and a destination site for the industry. To do so, we needed to be able to offer folks in the multifamily industry everything they would need in one place. The site is rich with daily Web-exclusive news, features, and stories from MFE, each with its own RSS feed. But in addition to that, we have made a point of offering more aggregated news coverage from around the Web and article feeds than any other publication in the industry. Stories from every industry resource on the Web—including our competitors, national trade associations, and commercial news vehicles such as the Wall Street Journal—can be found on MFE.com. In addition, we offer links to industry blogs, calculators, resource centers, lists, and more.
>> Expert Opinions We have begun to cultivate a blogroll that includes perspectives and opinions from the editors of Multifamily Executive as well as multifamily real estate experts. Over the course of the next few months, we will be bringing together more than a dozen multifamily experts, architects, and consultants to share their insights on the site.
>> Streamlined Design and Navigation With the re-launch of the site, we have updated our color scheme and style. The sleeker, streamlined design allows users to easily locate the right content. And we developed a topic-driven navigation structure that focuses on vital areas of the multifamily real estate business with less of a focus on the magazine product itself.
We congratulate the team that brings you this Site, and we wish them all good luck as they work to bring you the smartest, best, and first intelligence on multifamily housing business and management!
