Member Publications

CRE Finance Council produces a number of marketing products to keep members updated on current news about the commercial real estate finance market.

CRE Finance World (formerly CMBS World) is a quarterly magazine, authored by leading participants from our industry, that extensively covers the commercial real estate finance market.  Recent issues have focused on the international marketplace, collateral performance/credit risk and investor concerns.

The Weekly Briefing is CRE Finance Council's electronic newsletter. It is published every Thursday toward the close of the U.S. business day and is considered the primary source of information that originates from the CRE Finance Council's global offices.  The Weekly Briefing, which is distributed to members and other market participants, features an editorialized summary of news and issues affecting commercial real estate finance that week, and provides key Government Relations, U.S. and European Regulatory and Forum issues that the Council is advocating on your behalf.  It also provides upcoming deadlines and information on our Meetings & Events and announces particular Council initiatives that are important to our constituencies.  Please be sure to look for the Weekly Briefing in your email inbox. 

CRE Finance Council's 'Connection' and 'Alert' notifications provide market participants with breaking news from the Council that we believe warrant your attention.

The CMBS E-Primer is a comprehensive educational resource in a convenient e-book format.  The E-Primer is joined by our weekly Compendium of Statistics and a daily "Latest News" digest to keep members informed of what’s occurring now in the mainstream and trade press.

The Year in Review is produced by CRE Finance Council each June and spotlights the events, issues and news that occurred the previous year. It also features a complete listing of CRE Finance Council’s membership, committees, leadership, corporate sponsors, and upcoming events.
