Compropscotland swept past two significant mileposts today (9 May 2011). At 9.22 this morning we uploaded our 1000^th story since our re-launch in mid-November 2010. Then, just over two hours later at 11.27am, the site recorded its 100,000^th hit.

Stewart McIntosh, Comprop’s editor and director, said: “We didn’t expect to hit either of those mileposts until mid-June – so it came as a pleasant surprise when we achieved them both on the same, sunny, May morning. We’re logging 800 to 1000 hits a day, which in covering a specialist sector, demonstrates a strong – and highly professional –readership. And those 1000 stories add up to half a million words – each of them about property in its various forms, sectors and regions.

“From the outset, we aimed to establish ourselves as the top source of news, comment and research about Scotland’s commercial property sector – a sector that doesn’t get the coverage it deserves in the mainstream business pages. As property and construction digs its way out from under the rubble of the market crash, we follow the story step by step – and brick by brick. We chart the challenges, report the reversals and celebrate the successes.”
