A big shout out!

The last 12 months or so have proven to be overwhelming for the Inquirer’s Property Section—with us having to juggle so many meetings, interviews, and deadlines, which made the task on hand challenging yet highly rewarding.

With a very lean team, we managed to put out a number of issues, which we would like to believe made quite an impact on both our readers and sources. All the wonderful feedback we received had inspired us even more to ensure that every issue would be something that you, our readers, would not only find entertaining, but also useful and relevant in your everyday dealings.

Throughout the year, we created features and sections that would tackle subjects that would interest not only Inquirer’s loyal readers but an even broader market—the millennials.

By introducing features such as Summer Getaway, Home Away From Home, and a column from a young lawyer, we hope that we have somehow delivered what our younger readers wanted.

It was in the middle of the year when we decided to add another title to the section—the Property Concepts, wherein young and seasoned architects and planners were the writers. The frequency varies but at the very least, it comes out once a month, every Wednesday.

Property Concepts served as the drawing board of ideas and opinions of these creative geniuses and allowed our readers to better understand the art of architecture and design.

Indeed, we have come a long way. But all these would and could not have been possible if not for the support and faith that you have for the section.

And as the Inquirer marks its 32nd year today, we have again reached another milestone as we give you a whopping 52 pages filled with rich, exciting stories which we hope would pique your interest and entertain you as well.

In these pages, we get to learn about the journey of some of the industry’s key players and their thoughts about the key turning points in the last 32 years. The issue also featured the other side of these leaders as they get to write a letter for the “Boss Baby.”

Again, our deepest gratitude to our sources, who never got tired of answering our queries and sharing their expertise; our dear readers, who make all those sleepless nights worth it; and of course, our dear advertisers, whose unwavering support had allowed the Property Section to further grow.

Thank you and read on.
