NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Street, the preeminent provider of actionable commercial real estate intelligence in the U.S. and Europe, has purchased React News – a London-based subscription provider of market-leading commercial property news.

This deal allows us to take React News to a new level and solidify our position as Europe's dominant real estate news provider. We are proud of what we have already achieved in our first 19 months, which has only been possible thanks to our incredibly dedicated and impressive staff, the support of our early-adopter subscribers and the faith of our initial backers."
