  • We are delighted to unveil our newest division at Property District, a brand-new Media Buying Division, specifically tasked with Identifying waste in construction and real estate advertising spend in Ireland. Right now, print is in decline (-10.4%), social media advertising is on the rise (+6%), and podcast advertising is expected to be the fastest growing sector for maximum reach (+22.3%), does your advertising budget for 2023 reflect this? If not, chat to our Media Buying Division to assess the return of your current advertising investment and review the full range of options: Email media@propertydistrict.ie

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

#BreakingGround

FEMCON European Project

This week on #BreakingGround we chat to Mary Whitney, Director of Education with Future Cast (Construction & Quarrying) , about the FEMCON European Project, which is on a mission to create innovative vocational education and training tools to help women – working in or considering a career in the construction industry – advance to visible roles within the industry. 

The project’s goal is to make the industry more appealing to women, resulting in a greater number of women choosing the sector, creating conditions for positive change, and improving the industry’s gender outlook and quality of life in the male-dominated sector.

Mary shares information about the industry ‘Inclusion, Reach and Teach’ toolkit that will be available in the coming weeks to support construction companies. Learn more at: https://futurecast.info/femcon/

  • Refurbishments of office buildings in central London have risen to a record high, but the volume of new space being developed continues to lag pre-pandemic levels. A biannual crane survey by Deloitte has found that 37 schemes overhauling existing offices were started over the half-year to the end of March, the highest number since the accountancy group started tracking activity in 2005. About 3.2 million sq ft of space is set to be improved. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/more-office-blocks-in-central-london-being-refurbished-ln77f79t5
