Founded in 2005, Bisnow Media is owned by private equity firm Wicks Group[2] and has offices in New York and Washington, D.C. with 75 full-time employees as of 2014.

[3] Covering 27 metropolitan markets across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. with a subscriber base of over 600,000, Bisnow is one of the largest producers of commercial real estate news and events.

[6][7] Bisnow wanted to take advantage of the new economics and reading habits of the Internet age to provide timelier, lighter, and more personality-focused news fare than traditionally available, and deliver it to niche business audiences.

[10] In 2012, Bisnow launched "Escape", a brand of recurring events that gather top commercial real estate owners, developers, and financiers for multi-day retreats.

[12] The following year, Bisnow partnered with Peter Linneman, the Wharton School real estate program founder, to launch a video education series.
