Property Report is an English language magazine and website brand started in Thailand in April 2004 by the company Ensign Media from its offices in Bangkok and Phuket.〔()〕 ==History== The magazine originally launched as Asia Property Report, a bi-monthly 16-page staple bound publication with a newspaper style layout aimed at the real estate industry throughout Asia.〔()〕 Within two issues, the title changed to Thailand Property Report and the readership focus shifted to investors as the company’s expatriate British founders, Terry Blackburn and Duncan Worthington, sought to capitalize on interest in the booming resort and luxury condominium real estate market in Thailand at the time. The local property market had remained stagnant since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, but went through a period of unprecedented growth between 2004-2008. During this time, the magazine grew to be a 126-page, perfect bound publication, became the best selling real estate magazine in the country and expanded its distribution to Hong Kong and Singapore, to take advantage of local interest in luxury Thai property. Due to local publication licensing laws the magazine was renamed Property Report Thailand in 2006. In 2007, Ensign Media opened an office in Singapore in order to launch a sister magazine to Property Report Thailand, Property Report Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia. The publication’s primary areas of focus were Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bali, Penang and Jakarta. Whilst the publisher reported strong subscriber numbers and newsstand sales, the magazine never attracted the same number of advertising pages as Property Report Thailand, meaning its page count was always around 50% of its more established sibling publication. Plans to launch a Singapore Property Awards were announced but then shelved during the financial crisis of 2008. In June 2010, Ensign merged Property Report Thailand and Property Report Singapore, Malaysia Indonesia into a single publication, Property Report South East Asia. Property Report South East Asia is now distributed in five countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong with a claimed circulation of 25,000 and is South East Asia’s only monthly real estate publication. Its current Editor in Chief is UK national Andrew Batt, who was previously managing editor of Bloomberg Businessweek Thailand.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Property Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
