Maine paper launching commercial real estate section

The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram will introduce a new weekly commercial real estate section in the Dec. 3 edition of the Maine Sunday Telegram in what appears to be a venture closely tied to local real estate brokers.

The broadsheet, section-front feature debuts following months of planning between the newspaper and Maine’s commercial realtors.

“We created a weekly publication to showcase this vital sector of the economy,� said Anton Kaufer, group sales manager for real estate at the Press Herald/Telegram. “Our goal is to present the premier statewide marketplace to connect commercial realtors with their customers.�

Each week a Maine commercial listing will appear as a featured property, and an industry professional will contribute a column under the “In The Marketplace� heading.

“The weekly articles written by Maine experts will provide readers with commercial real estate tools and insight on local market conditions and area growth,� said Matthew Cardente, designated owner/broker at Cardente Real Estate in Portland.

“We’re excited about engaging readers and about giving our commercial real estate industry a new voice,� said Kaufer.

In addition to the new section on Sundays, commercial real estate listings will be moved from Friday’s Real Estate section to Friday’s Business section.
