The Daily Business Review compiled four real estate special reports this year to gauge what drove the market, where development focused and what issues the industry faced. In February, we released our Office Guide, and in April it was time for our Industrial and Retail Guide. Then, we issued a Commercial Real Estate report in September, and to finish off the year we shed light on the top transactions in the October Biggest Deals Guide. Out of 13 stories total, three struck a particular chord with readers.
