The Austin Business Journal and Xceligent today announced the launch of Austin bizspace, a powerful new commercial real estate site for brokers, owners and related professionals to market services and assets to Austin area decision makers.

Traditionally, the marketing of commercial real estate services and properties has largely been through print-based media. Now, via the Austin Business Journal website with nearly 300,000 monthly page views, Austin bizspace will deliver a comprehensive online vehicle for commercial real estate professionals to target local and national business decision makers.

"Commercial real estate is a key sector for readers of the Austin Business Journal, and a key economic segment for the Central Texas economy," Austin Business Journal Publisher Lyn Chasteen said. "Through our collaboration with Xceligent, we will be able to offer another layer of valuable, timely service and information to our audience."

Powered by Xceligent, Austin bizspace contains a directory of commercial real estate related professionals to serve Austin area readers and thousands of local properties for sale and for lease. "By aligning with the Austin Business Journal, we're able to offer our members an additional avenue on which to promote their professional services and commercial properties. Austin Business Journal's online audience demographics parallel the real estate professional's local consumer market, re-emphasizing the value of this partnership to our members," says Robert T. Vanderwerf, president of Xceligent.

Fully functional in Austin and Houston, TX, bizspace will complete a 42 market roll-out schedule by early 2006. For more information, visit http://austin.bizspace.com.
