Together, they are connecting Spacewell’s operational view of the portfolio with VergeSense’s predictive planning capabilities, giving real estate, workplace and finance teams a defensible path from workplace data to better-informed decisions. The partnership charts a shared future where the workplace data already live in Spacewell flows into VergeSense Predictive Planning, so any office can be planned continuously on its own evidence, in the systems teams already run. Both halves of that picture exist in the market today. The connection between them is what’s new. Spacewell holds the system of record for the portfolio and the employee experience layer where people meet space every day. For many organisations that data is already structured, current, and live, so there is no new collection project to fund and no hardware to install before you can begin. VergeSense Predictive Planning is powered by a proprietary Large Spatial Model that forecasts how people will use a space across thousands of plausible workdays, surfacing capacity, the effect of a hybrid policy change, and the right mix of space types before anyone moves. The VergeSense and Spacewell partnership reflects a broader shift in how enterprises are approaching workplace decisions – away from one-off consulting engagements and static benchmarks, and toward connected systems that let teams make more defensible calls on the spaces their people will actually use.

MF1 is a private-label multifamily mortgage lender, having originated multifamily loans aggregating $32 billion since 2018. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that most Limekiln employees will become Berkshire employees. Eric Draeger, Partner and Berkshire’s Chief Investment Officer, said, “We are thrilled to welcome the Limekiln team into the Berkshire family. The joint venture that we formed eight years ago with Limekiln has been very successful and we are pleased to now have fully integrated multifamily equity, securities and debt origination platforms. We look forward to serving our investors and borrowers as one Berkshire team.” Scott Waynebern will remain CEO of Limekiln, which will focus on building a new CRE strategy outside of multifamily debt. Scott Waynebern said, “I love being a builder of businesses and teams and am excited to go out and create again. The management textbooks all say JVs never work. This one did, which is a testament to the quality of people on both sides of the partnership. Combined into one team going forward at Berkshire, I expect MF1 to continue to be a market leader.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260909645363/en/Berkshire-Residential-Investments-to-Acquire-Full-Ownership-of-MF1-the-Leading-Private-Label-Multifamily-Mortgage-Lender) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Every home sale generates a huge amount of information. Yet buyers, sellers, surveyors, lenders, conveyancers and estate agents often spend time requesting, checking and re-entering the same information multiple times. Cotality has joined Open Property Data Association to advance open property data. The role in co-creation and testing of the Smart Property Data Trust Framework is vital to enable trusted sharing of structured information between authorised participants, reducing duplication, improving transparency and helping transactions move more efficiently. Mark Blackwell, Chief Operating Officer, Cotality, “Through platforms such as Lender Hub, Survey Hub, IntelliVal and Net Zero Hub, we help organisations connect workflows, manage trusted property information and provide the benefits of property data. OPDA’s vision closely aligns with our own: a future where property information is collected once, trusted, shared securely and reused throughout the property lifecycle. As a major provider of property data, analytics and digital connectivity, we’re excited to help shape the standards and trust frameworks that will make open property data a reality.” Maria Harris, chair of the OPDA, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Cotality to the OPDA. As one of the sector’s most established data and analytics providers, they bring deep technical expertise and proven integration across lenders and valuation networks. Their involvement will be invaluable as we continue to build open, trusted standards to create a faster, more connected home buying and selling process.” [Source](https://www.cotality.com/uk/insights/articles/why-cotality-has-joined-opda-to-advance-open-property-data) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Chancellor succeeds co-founder Chuck Gordon, who led the company for 18 years and will continue to serve on Storable’s Board of Directors and as an advisor. Chancellor brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling software businesses through product innovation, technology transformation, and operational execution. Most recently he served as Chief Executive Officer of Aircall, where he led the company’s expansion into AI, nearly doubled revenue, and drove the business to profitability. Scott Chancellor said, “My focus on day one is accelerating the pace of innovation, delivering exceptional product experiences, and bringing AI into everyday workflows in ways that save operators time and help them run better businesses. Whether you manage three facilities or three hundred, you should have technology that works for you, not the other way around.” Under Chancellor’s leadership, Storable will continue investing in the technology operators rely on every day, with a focus on AI-powered workflows, modern customer experiences, and products that help businesses run more efficiently.

The integration will allow loan, borrower, property, project, budget, draw, asset and portfolio data to move between systems, giving banks and credit unions a more complete view of their CRE business without replacing technology they already use. Andrew Ivankovich, chairman and CEO of Baker Hill, said, “CRE lending shouldn’t become a manual process the moment a loan closes. Our clients need the same efficiency, visibility and control after closing that they have during origination. Expanding our partnership with Built will help financial institutions maintain that continuity through construction loan administration and portfolio management.” Frank Iannotti, VP and GM of Lender at Built, said, “CRE lending has long depended on a patchwork of disconnected tools to manage critical workflows after origination. Our expanded partnership with Baker Hill gives teams cleaner data and better visibility, so they can spend less time reconciling systems and more time making informed decisions.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/baker-hill-and-built-expand-partnership-across-the-full-commercial-real-estate-lending-lifecycle-from-origination-through-portfolio-management-302872505.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by Episode 1 Ventures, with participation from HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and Pi Labs, as well as Aurora Energy Research co-founder Cameron Hepburn and QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey’s former CEO Jeremy Palmer. Timo Bertsch, Investment Manager at HTGF, said, “The infrastructure Europe needs – renewables, data centres, grid capacity – represents one of the most critical buildouts of our generation. Capital is ready. Projects are in the pipeline. What’s been missing is the ability to move deals at the pace the moment demands. Veridue is fixing exactly that.” The company highlighted that although Europe and the US are experiencing surging demand for renewables, driven by data centres, electrification, and a renewed focus on energy security, and capital appetite is strong, the buildout is bottlenecked by slow, expensive, and manual processes. Daniel Csonth, CEO and Founder of Veridue, “We built Veridue as the solution we wished we had when we were the ones carrying the risk on a decision. It is not simply a chatbot pointed at a data room. It is AI trained on a proprietary dataset of real deals and their diligence outcomes, running on our own agent layer to ensure results are deterministic with 100% traceable accuracy.” [Source](https://www.eu-startups.com/2026/09/uk-based-veridue-secures-e3-44-million-to-accelerate-investment-and-project-financing-for-renewable-energy-and-data-centres) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

BlueSquIDX](https://proptechconnect.com/homevestors-acquires-bluesquidx/) **Published:** September 7, 2026 **Author:** PropTech Connect **Content:** # HomeVestors Acquires BlueSquIDX - [ Alexander ](https://proptechconnect.com/author/alexander/) - [ September 7, 2026 ](https://proptechconnect.com/2026/09/07/) [ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: HomeVestors Acquires BlueSquIDX](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/homevestors.png) HomeVestors of America has acquired BlueSquIDX℠, a software platform that has facilitated single-family home purchases. The move continues HomeVestors’ way for its independently owned and operated franchises to harness MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to search for and make offers on homes. Brandon Gebers, Chief Growth Officer for HomeVestors, said, “Historically, only three percent of homes our franchisees purchase were on MLS in the previous 90 days, even as data shows 30 percent of flipped homes were listed in the same time period. However, scouring MLS can be a clunky and time-consuming process, so we bought a platform that is a virtual ‘easy’ button for our homebuyers.” Searching for investment properties on MLS requires access to the service, an understanding of how best to use filters on the right terms, due diligence to find non-retail listings, and a significant amount of time to weed through the data. BlueSquIDX has access to MLS data, which the company’s founder, Steve Peterson, took through a machine learning process to identify the characteristics of properties that are flippable or that an investor would purchase. Joshua Waltzer, Chief Executive Officer of HomeVestors, said, “It fundamentally changes how franchisees operate. Those with access will have deals pushed to them every day, and all they have to do is evaluate the property, click a button and enter ‘here’s what I’d offer.'” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260901418736/en/HomeVestors-Acquires-BlueSquIDX-Further-Empowering-its-Franchisees) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: Smarli Secures Over CHF 2 Million](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/smarli.png) smarli. AG, St. Gallen-based smart home startup, has completed its second round of financing, raising more than 2 million Swiss francs. The new capital will be used to expand its partner network and develop its own software and hardware. At the same time, the company is strengthening its board of directors and its technological leadership. Lighting, blinds, heating, energy supply, and security are particularly common areas for automation. Because the Smarli system builds upon existing electrical infrastructure, it is not only suitable for new buildings. Existing apartments, houses, offices, and entire properties can also be retrofitted. In parallel with the software, Smarli is developing its own hardware components. These are tailored to the Partner Engine and the existing electrical infrastructure. The company expects this to result in robustness, reliability, and easier installation. Thomas Obrecht, co-founder of smarli, said, “Crucial for our next phase are the further expansion of our partner network and the continued development of our software and hardware components.” The financing round also includes an expansion of the board of directors. New investor Robert Sigrist simultaneously takes a seat on the strategic management team. His election was registered in the commercial register in June 2026. In September, additional employees joined the company in the areas of partner acquisition and partner support. Smarli aims to use these additions not only to accelerate technological development but also to expand its collaboration with electricians, installers, and energy suppliers.

The combination will address industrial assets across their full lifecycle, from newer, greenfield facilities built around comprehensive CAD and engineering models to decades-old brownfield assets where technical information is often scattered, incomplete or outdated. Jarle Skrebergene, CEO of Aize, said, “Together, we can connect engineering intent, operational information and what actually exists in the field, creating a uniquely powerful foundation for industrial companies to understand and work with their assets throughout their lifecycle.” Aize and Samp approach industrial information from complementary starting points. For newer assets, Aize builds on rich CAD and engineering models and connects them with operational and enterprise information. For existing brownfield assets, Samp starts from the reality of the field, using AI to create a structured 3D representation and connect it with existing technical information.

Combined with Reapit’s existing investment in research and development, the company now invests well over £40 million into innovation, cementing its position as one of the largest investors in innovation in estate agency technology. Mark Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer of Reapit, said, “We’re incredibly proud of the confidence both our customers and Accel-KKR continue to place in Reapit. For more than 25 years, we’ve worked alongside the industry’s agencies, helping them grow, innovate and adapt as markets evolve.” The platform provides a complete view of customer relationships, transactions and interactions. The introduction of Reapit Home extends that relationship beyond the transaction, acting as the agency’s digital front door and capturing the behaviours and signals that reveal future customer needs. Matt McGown, Chief Product Officer at Reapit, said, “Our customers trust us with the systems their businesses cannot operate without. We never treat that as settled. This investment is our reciprocation. When an agency commits its most important operations to Reapit, it is committing its future performance to our roadmap, and that carries an obligation. We are putting more than £40 million a year behind making sure the agencies who backed us are the ones leading this market in 2030. Our job is to make their trust the smartest decision they made.” The additional investment reflects a shared belief among both customers and investors that the future of estate agency will be defined by those who can combine customer relationships, consumer engagement and intelligence into a lasting competitive advantage. Park Durrett, Managing Director at Accel-KKR, said, “The AI era will not be won by those with the newest technology alone. It will be won by those with the strongest foundations and the ability to innovate at speed.” [Source](https://www.reapit.com/press-releases/reapit-unveils-vision-for-the-future-of-estate-agency-backed-by-new-20m-investment) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

logo and bold headline about $40M to expand microfactories and homebuilding.](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/reframe-systems.png) Reframe Systems has announced an additional $40 million in venture-backed equity financing to scale its microfactory network across North America and deliver more homes for customers. The financing was led by Energy Impact Partners (EIP), with co-investments from Counterpart Ventures, E12 Ventures, Global Brain Corporation, Thin Line Capital, UP.Partners and LACI Impact Fund. Reframe also had continued support from existing investors, including Eclipse, VoLo Earth Ventures, Cubit Capital, RA Capital Management (Planetary Health), MassMutual Catalyst Funds and Nor’easter Ventures. The additional capital positions Reframe to accelerate home delivery in New England and deploy additional microfactory capacity across North America, bringing robotics-enabled homebuilding to the communities. Unlike traditional modular builders that rely on large, centralised factories, Reframe’s microfactories can adapt production to different zoning requirements, climate conditions, and architectural styles. Software coordinates design with production, robotic systems automate repetitive fabrication tasks, and digital work instructions enable builders of all skill levels to assemble components. Vikas Enti, CEO and co-founder of Reframe Systems, said, “Developers are demanding energy-efficient and climate-resilient homes. With our technology, we’re able to deliver infill housing, such as a triple-decker in Somerville, in 180 days and help families in Altadena rebuild wildfire-resilient bungalows in months instead of years. With our model, every home we deliver makes the next one faster and cheaper to build, because our software, robotics and network learn from each deployment. That demand is why we’re expanding, and why we’re now targeting one million homes by 2040, five years ahead of schedule.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260831532459/en/Reframe-Systems-Raises-%2440M-to-Industrialize-Homebuilding-and-Expand-Microfactory-Network) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Alongside traditional search filters and property portals, AI assistants are becoming increasingly important. Prospective buyers and tenants can describe what they are looking for in natural language and expect relevant, clearly presented results. REMAX Switzerland, REMAX Germany and REMAX Austria, as well as PROPUP, an application has been developed that allows users to search current property listings directly through ChatGPT. Users can ask for properties based on location, budget, size, features and other individual criteria. The main focus was the extensive groundwork required to prepare and structure property data so that it can be reliably read, understood and used by AI systems. High-quality, clearly structured data is essential for artificial intelligence to interpret information correctly and deliver relevant results. With this initiative, REMAX is positioning itself in a development that will have a lasting impact on the real estate industry, moving beyond conventional filter-based searches towards conversational, personalised and AI-powered experiences.

](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: Emerald AI Raises $150M at $1.05B to Turn AI Data Centres Into Grid Allies](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/1valet-1.png) Emerald AI, a startup that helps AI data centres reduce or shift their power consumption when the grid is under stress, has raised $150 million in its oversubscribed Series A round at a $1.05 billion valuation. Energize Capital and DCVC jointly led the round, with several financial and strategic investors also participating. The round also included NVIDIA, Samsung Ventures, Siemens, Aramco Ventures, RWE, JERA Ventures, ADVentures, Sabanci Climate Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, Lowercarbon Capital, Marunouchi Innovation Partners, Emerson Collective, The Olayan Group, Temerty Group, Earthshot Ventures, Collective Global Management, General Catalyst’s scout fund, and others. Varun Sivaram, founder and CEO of Emerald AI, said, “We founded Emerald AI on the conviction that the intelligence driving the AI revolution could solve its own greatest bottleneck. Our demonstrations around the world proved that data centers can adjust their power use precisely when the grid needs relief, without compromising critical computing workloads. Today that technology runs commercially at full data centre scale, and this financing lets us take it everywhere AI is built.” Over the past year, investor interest in AI infrastructure startups has increased as technology companies have expanded their data centre capacity, which in turn has led to higher valuations and accelerated funding for companies addressing issues such as power availability. Morgan Stanley expects global electricity demand to rise by over 1 trillion kWh each year by 2030, with data centres accounting for nearly 20% of that increase, according to the firm’s energy market outlook. Emerald AI’s own figures, drawn from the International Energy Agency, put data centres at nearly half of U.S. electricity demand growth through 2030. Over the past year, Emerald AI has completed five demonstrations at commercial data centres in Arizona, Illinois, Virginia, Oregon, and London, in partnership with Nvidia, EPRI, Oracle, Nebius, and National Grid. It has since moved into commercial scaling, deploying across an entire data centre in California, where it sustained grid-responsive power flexibility during peak grid strain. Instead of considering the power supply as the flexible resource, Emerald AI’s approach is more focused and tailored to AI, treating the computing power within a data centre as the flexible asset. The company states that it will put the new funds towards expanding its commercial operations worldwide, and that its customer base consists of AI companies, data centre operators and electric utilities.

Infrastructure](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/aws-and-nvidia.png) Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NVIDIA have announced an expansion of their strategic collaboration. Building on 16 years of joint innovation, the companies plan to deploy 2 million additional NVIDIA GPUs across AWS’s global infrastructure and deepen their work together across AI factories, CPUs, networking, open models, data processing, and robotics, delivering co-engineered solutions that help customers accelerate AI development at unprecedented scale. Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, said, “Customers want the freedom to choose the best tools for their AI workloads, and they want confidence that everything works seamlessly together. That’s why we’ve invested deeply with NVIDIA to make AWS the best place to run NVIDIA AI technologies, optimizing performance across our infrastructure from networking and security to deployment. This expanded collaboration gives frontier labs, enterprises, and governments even more ways to build and deploy AI on AWS.” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “For 16 years, we have scaled NVIDIA computing in the cloud together. Now we are expanding our partnership across the full stack, GPUs, CPUs, networking, open models and software, to make agentic and physical AI real at an unprecedented pace and scale that only AWS and NVIDIA can deliver. This expansion reflects customers’ demand for NVIDIA’s platform on AWS.” AWS plans to deploy an additional 2 million NVIDIA GPUs in 2027–2028 across its global infrastructure, including AI factories. This capacity will power customer workloads ranging from agentic AI and scientific discovery to enterprise automation and physical AI.

The renewal aims to consolidate the more than 40,000 properties PURE HomeRiver manages onto a single platform, with capacity to support the company’s anticipated growth to 60,000. Joseph Polverari, Co-founder and CEO of PURE HomeRiver, said, “We’ve been dedicated to unifying operations and standardising processes to create simplified resident, owner, and manager experiences that deliver results. In building our technology stack to support that scale, AppFolio was the only clear option for the phase we’re in. One source of truth clarifies the path to performance across every market we’re in today, and in the future.” Marcy Campbell, Chief Revenue Officer at AppFolio, said, “PURE HomeRiver has grown through the same discipline we see in the strongest operators. As they scale toward managing 60,000 properties, AppFolio is the constant. That’s the kind of partnership we’re building with operators at every stage of growth.” [Source](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/08/26/3351589/0/en/pure-homeriver-deepens-its-commitment-to-appfolio-to-power-the-next-phase-of-its-growth.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

](https://proptechconnect.com/2026/08/26/) [ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: Boldr Raises $5 Million For Residential and Commercial Heating and Cooling Systems](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/boldr.png) Boldr has raised €4.2 million ($5 million) in a pre-Series A round to expand its smart climate technology across North America, develop its contractor software platform, and move into a broader range of residential and commercial heating and cooling systems. The round was led by Unconventional Ventures, with participation from Ada Ventures, Tetrad VC, DVC, Roxbury Asset Management, the Inclimo Climate Tech Fund, Prosegur, Techstars, the S20 Fund and Propelx. Madi A, CEO and co-founder of Boldr, said, ““The next power plant won’t be one building. It will be millions of homes working together. But you don’t get there through a consumer app alone. You get there through the contractors who already install, service and replace the equipment that controls energy inside the home. Our job is to give them the technology to make that future possible.” Alexis Horowitz-Burdick, Partner at Unconventional Ventures, said, “The team has identified HVAC contractors as a critical partner in the electrification of the home. By building technology that helps contractors serve customers better while creating a path to distributed grid capacity, Boldr is positioned to become a defining company in residential energy management.” Its longer-term ambition is to bring equipment including heating and cooling systems, batteries, EV chargers and solar installations into a connected network capable of adjusting electricity demand when required by the grid.

Under the partnership, Builders FirstSource is the solo lead on Digs’ $25.3 million Series A financing and has also entered into a five-year commercial agreement with Digs to accelerate product development, strengthen platform integration, and expand AI capabilities. Peter Jackson, CEO of Builders FirstSource, said, “By combining Builders FirstSource’s scale, deep customer relationships, product data, and extensive digital ecosystem with Digs’ AI platform, we are advancing tools that can simplify workflows, improve productivity, and create a more connected experience across the homebuilding lifecycle, enabling us to serve our customers in new ways at every stage.” The companies intend to leverage Builders FirstSource’s digital ecosystem and Digs’ patented AI platform to serve homebuilders, by helping them eliminate disconnected workflows, reduce manual work, and deliver homeowner experiences from pre-construction through warranty and beyond. Ryan Fink, CEO and Co-founder of Digs, said, “We’re building the AI platform that understands every home. Builders FirstSource brings national reach, industry relationships, product data, and market scale. Together, we’re creating something even beyond the next generation of residential construction, we’re creating the first scalable true digital twin of the home for homeowners to power new experiences for the life of their home.” Builders FirstSource and Digs intend to enhance Builders FirstSource’s digital ecosystem with Digs’ patented AI technology to turn disconnected construction documents into a single living source of truth.

Customers](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DHG-properties.png) DHG Properties, a Dubai-based real estate developer and part of Swiss group DHG, has announced a strategic partnership with Huspy, the UAE’s mortgage provider and real estate platform, to provide Helvetia Residences buyers with a simpler, more transparent home financing experience. Helvetia Residences is DHG’s first residential project to be delivered in the UAE market. The partnership is designed to help buyers understand their financing options, prepare for handover payment, and progress through the mortgage process with greater clarity and confidence. The collaboration will also support existing homeowners seeking to review their current financing arrangements. Through Huspy, eligible customers can explore refinancing and equity release solutions that may help them reduce their mortgage costs or provide capital from their property. Milos Antic, Executive Vice Chairman of DHG Group, said, “Our partnership with Huspy gives buyers access to expert mortgage guidance and a broad range of financing options at an important stage of their journey. It reflects our commitment to providing a high standard of service that extends beyond the development itself.” Fouad Chemlati, CEO UAE at Huspy, said, “Through this partnership, Helvetia Residences buyers will have direct access to Huspy’s mortgage expertise, technology and network of more than 20 banks, helping them compare their options and make informed financing decisions with confidence.” [Source](https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/dhg-properties-partners-with-huspy-to-simplify-home-financing-for-customers-466682) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

West Sussex](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/mg.png) M&G Real Estate has acquired 211 affordable homes from the The Hyde Group in West Sussex through a £29 million investment by the M&G Affordable Living Fund (the Fund), helping to address growing demand for high-quality, energy-efficient housing. The homes are in the Wildbridge development in Yapton, near Chichester, and are managed by Pinnacle Group, part of Hyde Group, alongside M&G’s wider affordable housing portfolio. All homes are EPC A-rated and benefit from air source heat pumps and integrated solar panels providing renewable energy, helping residents to reduce household running costs. The UK Government has set a target to deliver 1.5 million homes this Parliament, with affordable housing at its core. Long-term institutional investment has an important role to play in supporting housing delivery by working alongside housing associations and local authorities to increase the supply of high-quality affordable homes for communities across the UK. Chris Jeffs, Manager of the M&G Affordable Living Fund, said, “This investment reflects the role long term capital can play in expanding access to the highest quality, energy efficient affordable homes. By working in partnership with an experienced provider such as Hyde in this instance, we can support the delivery of much needed housing while helping to create stable, long-term value for our clients.” Andy Hulme, Group Chief Executive, Hyde Group, said, “We’re delighted to have continued our partnership with M&G through this latest transaction, which demonstrates the valuable role long-term institutional investment can and must play to help tackle the housing crisis and to support the ongoing delivery of affordable homes. Pinnacle Group, which is part of Hyde, will offer high-quality management services, demonstrating the end-to-end offer we provide partners and customers.” [Source](https://group.mandg.com/news-and-insights/press-releases/2026/24-08-2026) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

What Does That Look Like in Practice?](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/mitsubishi-1.png) **Smart Buildings Are Changing for the Better. What Does That Look Like in Practice?** The conversation around smart buildings has shifted from future promises to measurable operational outcomes. Building owners and operators are increasingly connecting building systems, operational data, and occupant services to increase operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and create more connected building experiences. Rather than treating smart technology as a disconnected series of upgrades, leading organisations are modernising commercial real estate portfolios through a unified digital framework built on three connected layers: Building Data Layer, Building Performance, and Building Experience. **The Three Building Layers** Creating buildings that continuously adapt to changing operational demands and occupant needs requires every technology investment to support three connected building layers: .stages-section-wrapper { background: #ffffff; padding: 40px 20px; } .stages-interactive-container { position: relative; max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif; display: block; background: #ffffff; } .stages-list-left { width: 40%; display: flex; flex-direction: column; } .stage-list-item { border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; background: #666666; } .stage-list-item:first-child { border-top: 1px solid #ffffff; } .stage-item-trigger { padding: 20px 15px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; cursor: pointer; transition: all 0.2s ease; color: #ffffff; } .stage-title-text { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.4; color: #ffffff; } .stage-arrow { font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; transition: transform 0.2s ease; } .stage-item-trigger:hover { opacity: 0.9; } .stage-item-trigger:hover .stage-arrow { transform: translateX(5px); } .stage-list-item:nth-child(1) { background: #EA3323; } .stage-list-item:nth-child(2) { background: #666666; } .stage-list-item:nth-child(3) { background: #B2B2B2; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-item-trigger { background: inherit; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-title-text, .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-arrow { color: #ffffff; font-weight: 600; } .stage-content-panel { display: none; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-content-panel { display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: calc(60% - 40px); height: 100%; background: #ffffff; color: #666666; padding: 45px; box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 0; animation: fadeIn 0.3s ease forwards; } .stage-content-panel h2 { font-size: 28px; margin: 0 0 15px 0; line-height: 1.3; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; } .stage-content-panel p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; color: #666666; } @keyframes fadeIn { from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(5px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } } @media (max-width: 850px) { .stages-list-left { width: 100%; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-content-panel { position: static; display: block; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 30px 20px; } .stage-content-panel h2 { display: none; } .stage-item-trigger:hover .stage-arrow { transform: none; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-arrow { transform: rotate(90deg); } } ### Building Data Layer → ## Building Data Layer The Building Data Layer establishes a unified operational foundation by connecting building systems and operational data. ### Building Performance → ## Building Performance Building Performance transforms connected data into operational insight that helps organisations optimise efficiency, sustainability, and asset performance. ### Building Experience → ## Building Experience Building Experience extends those insights to create more connected, responsive environments for tenants and facilities teams. These three building layers work together to create intelligent buildings. **How Connected Buildings Deliver Value** Across commercial real estate, connected building technologies are helping organisations address a wide range of operational priorities, including: - Connecting building systems and operational data to create a unified operational view across facilities and portfolios. - Optimising HVAC, lighting, and energy performance to reduce operating costs and support sustainability initiatives. - Supporting facilities teams with real-time monitoring, analytics, and operational insights that improve building performance. - Creating more connected workplace and tenant experiences through integrated digital services. These capabilities are delivering measurable value across a wide range of commercial real estate applications: - **Commercial offices:** Connected operational data helps facilities teams optimise space utilisation, monitor building performance in real time, and make faster operational decisions. - **Hotels and hospitality:** Integrated building systems help create seamless guest experiences while improving operational efficiency across multiple properties. - **Mixed-use developments:** Connecting building systems provides greater visibility across complex facilities while supporting energy management and maintenance activities. - **Multi-site property portfolios:** Standardised operational data enables building owners to benchmark performance, identify improvement opportunities, and scale best practices across portfolios. Instead of implementing individual technologies in isolation, organisations are increasingly adopting digital ecosystems that support integrated building operations, enhanced occupant experiences, and long-term portfolio performance**.** **A Collaborative Ecosystem** Delivering intelligent buildings requires collaboration across technology providers, systems integrators, and operational specialists. At PropTech Connect 2026, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions will be joined by Operational Intelligence and Mitsubishi Electric Living Environment Systems to demonstrate how complementary technologies and expertise help organisations accelerate digital transformation across the built environment. **Glen Carpenter, Client Solutions Manager, Operational Intelligence “Digital enablement delivers the greatest value when it is built into a project from the start. Our role as a master systems integrator (MSI) is to bring the different parties together and keep everyone aligned around a connected, integrated solution that ultimately delivers what the building owner needs.” **Dylan Andrews, Corporate Sales Manager, Mitsubishi Electric Living Environment Systems “Buildings represent a significant opportunity for decarbonisation. Energy-efficient, low-carbon technologies already exist, and by combining heat pumps with smart technologies and integrated energy systems, building owners can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions while maintaining high levels of occupant comfort.” **Where to Find Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions at PropTech Connect** - **The Exhibition Stand:** Meet the Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions team alongside Operational Intelligence and Mitsubishi Electric Living Environment Systems at Stand D01 to explore how connected technologies are helping organisations improve building performance, operational visibility, and occupant experiences. - **The Indoor Vineyard:** Drop by for a relaxed conversation over a glass of wine. Cheese and wine tasting sessions will be hosted at 15:00 on both days of the event. - **From Data to Decisions – Powering the Modern Real Estate Firm** *(Arora Stage Panel, Day 1, 14:05–14:45):* Hear Andy Dyke, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, share practical insights on workplace performance, data-driven decision-making, and improving operational outcomes alongside speakers from Pradera Lateral, Revantage Real Estate, iREMS, The King’s Cross Group, and Cushman & Wakefield. .stages-section-wrapper { background: #ffffff; padding: 40px 20px; } .stages-interactive-container { position: relative; max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif; display: block; background: #ffffff; } .stages-list-left { width: 40%; display: flex; flex-direction: column; } .stage-list-item { border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; background: #666666; } .stage-list-item:first-child { border-top: 1px solid #ffffff; } .stage-item-trigger { padding: 20px 15px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; cursor: pointer; transition: all 0.2s ease; color: #ffffff; } .stage-title-text { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.4; color: #ffffff; } .stage-arrow { font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; transition: transform 0.2s ease; } .stage-item-trigger:hover { opacity: 0.9; } .stage-item-trigger:hover .stage-arrow { transform: translateX(5px); } .stage-list-item:nth-child(1) { background: #EA3323; } .stage-list-item:nth-child(2) { background: #666666; } .stage-list-item:nth-child(3) { background: #B2B2B2; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-item-trigger { background: inherit; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-title-text, .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-arrow { color: #ffffff; font-weight: 600; } .stage-content-panel { display: none; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-content-panel { display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: calc(60% - 40px); height: 100%; background: #ffffff; color: #666666; padding: 45px; box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 0; animation: fadeIn 0.3s ease forwards; } .stage-content-panel h2 { font-size: 28px; margin: 0 0 15px 0; line-height: 1.3; font-weight: 600; color: #666666; } .stage-content-panel p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; color: #666666; } @keyframes fadeIn { from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(5px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } } @media (max-width: 850px) { .stages-list-left { width: 100%; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-content-panel { position: static; display: block; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 30px 20px; } .stage-content-panel h2 { display: none; } .stage-item-trigger:hover .stage-arrow { transform: none; } .stage-list-item.active-tab .stage-arrow { transform: rotate(90deg); } } ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Funds under the management of CVC are making a majority investment in OpenRent, with founders Adam Hyslop and Darius Bradbury remaining significant shareholders and continuing to lead the company. The partnership backs OpenRent’s next phase of growth and innovation as it continues to transform how landlords and tenants rent homes in the UK. This next phase will see OpenRent invest in its platform and make renting simpler for its users. The roadmap includes new tools for both landlords and tenants that take more of the admin, complexity and cost out of renting in the UK. Adam Hyslop, co-founder and CEO of OpenRent, said, “OpenRent has become a trusted part of the market and we still see enormous opportunity ahead. CVC shares our ambition and brings experience and resources that can help us accelerate the next stage of growth, broaden what we offer customers and create even more value for landlords and tenants.” Darius Bradbury, co-founder and CTO of OpenRent, said, “OpenRent has already proven that technology can transform the rental journey, but there’s still a lot left to go after. Our roadmap is full of new tools to empower landlords and tenants throughout the entire rental lifecycle, while making sure the product they already use keeps feeling delightfully simple at every turn.” Jean-Pierre Saad, Managing Partner at CVC, said, “We are very excited to partner with Adam and Darius who have built a category-leading platform that has already changed how people rent homes in the UK. OpenRent is very well placed to continue to be the UK’s direct to landlord platform helping landlords and tenants alike to manage the increased complexity of the rental process.” [Source](https://www.cvc.com/media/news/2026/openrent-partners-with-cvc-to-accelerate-growth-and-innovation-in-the-uk-rental-market/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Construction](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/sage.png) Sage has announced it has acquired Bangert, Inc., a Sage partner and specialist in AI-enabled implementation and onboarding for construction financial management. The acquisition brings Bangert’s deep construction expertise, implementation methodology and scalable onboarding technology into Sage. Construction businesses manage multiple projects across different entities, subcontractors, suppliers and job sites, making the adoption of new financial management software particularly complex. Bangert’s AskRichard platform combines guided, AI-enabled workflows and expert implementation support to simplify deployment while giving customers access to knowledge throughout the onboarding journey. Dan Miller, EVP, Financials and ERP Division, Sage, said, “We’ve worked together successfully for many years, and this acquisition is a natural next step.

What sets us apart is that we pair the hyper-local expertise of trusted regional brands with the technology, capital and operational discipline of a scaled national platform.

acquisition announcement, Proptech Connect logo bottom left.](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/dwello-property-1.png) Dwello Property has acquired Thomson Residential Ltd as it accelerates its expansion across the Central Belt. Dwello was founded with a focus on enhancing factors that can affect the wider lettings sector, including letting turnaround times and customer communication. Amid its growth, the firm says its priority remains delivering the responsive, service-led approach that has driven its early success. Following the acquisition, Dwello will continue operating from Thomson Residential’s Clarkston Road office, giving the business a foothold in Glasgow’s south side while maintaining continuity for existing landlords and tenants. Bank of Scotland supported the acquisition with a £520,000 term loan, alongside a banking switch. The finance will enable Dwello to pursue carefully selected growth opportunities while continuing to invest in its people, systems and processes. Craig Syme, director at Dwello Property, said, “This acquisition provides us with a fantastic opportunity to accelerate our growth in the south side of Glasgow, and is another step forward in our ambition to be the letting agent of choice across the Central Belt.” David Drylie, relationship manager at Bank of Scotland, said, “This acquisition is a strong example of a business scaling thoughtfully.

Project 28 brings together lenders, conveyancers, estate agents and technology providers around an ambition to reduce the time between sale agreed and exchange to 28 days. The Charter sets out eight practical commitments aimed at tackling delays and improving the way information moves between parties. These include earlier instruction of seller-side conveyancers, greater provision of upfront property information, better access to trusted digital data, and the secure sharing of key documents. Andrew Vaughan, head of customer management at e4 Strategic, commented, “The 28-day target is ambitious, but that is exactly why it is useful. If we start from the assumption that transactions will always take three or four months, we risk designing improvements around the current process rather than questioning why it takes that long in the first place.” He also added, “One of the lessons from working closely with lenders and conveyancers is that delays rarely come down to one major problem. It is often the accumulation of smaller issues such as information being requested more than once, a query sitting unanswered, an update being missed or one party not knowing that another is waiting for them.

Announces Agreement to Acquire LCN Capital Partners - [ Alexander ](https://proptechconnect.com/author/alexander/) - [ August 18, 2026 ](https://proptechconnect.com/2026/08/18/) [ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: Goldman Sachs Announces Agreement to Acquire LCN Capital Partners](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Goldman.png) Goldman Sachs has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire LCN Capital Partners, an investment manager specialising in the sale-leaseback, build-to-suit, and triple net lease sectors of the real estate market. LCN has approximately $3 billion in assets under supervision (AUS) as of June 30, 2026, primarily from institutions, insurers, and high-net-worth (HNW) individuals. David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, said, “LCN’s differentiated platform is highly attractive for our Asset & Wealth Management clients who want diversified sources of returns and offers corporate clients innovative capital solutions. Their focus complements our private real estate team’s broad 30-year track record and will expand our ability to serve our insurance, institutional, and wealth client segments.” Their hybrid strategy combines corporate credit and real estate to offer its investing partners predictable, inflation-protected, and tax-advantaged income plus upside potential.

Antares Labs Secures $7.25M Seed Funding to Expand AI Platform for Real Estate Operations](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/antares-labs.png) Antares Labs has announced it raised $7.25M seed round with participation from Fifth Wall, Base10 Partners, Bloomberg Beta, and Sandwith Ventures. Antares Labs starts with the business problem, not the platform. Its forward-deployed teams embed directly with customers to learn how the business actually works, then build company-specific AI solutions around the core problems – without requiring a data lake, system overhaul, or years-long implementation. Noaman Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer, Antares Labs, said, “Every real estate owner-operator is asking the same question right now: how do we actually put AI to work inside our business? We embed directly with our clients to build AI around strategic capabilities that move the needle – accelerating investments, improving lease-up. The output isn’t a report or vendor to manage. It’s intelligence that lives inside their business, owned by them, and gets smarter daily,” Antares Labs is already working with some of the largest owner-operators, including Quarterra. “For over a decade, we’ve heard the same frustration from the largest owner-operators in the world—decades of institutional knowledge, proprietary data, and hard-won relationships that have never been fully activated,” shared Brendan Wallace, Founder, CEO, and CIO, Fifth Wall. “Nobody transforms alone—not on willpower, not on data sitting in a system no one uses. You need something actively working the plan with you, every day. Antares Labs was built to be that for real estate operators. The window to move is now, and the cost of waiting is real.

the headline about $25 million for a real estate intelligence platform.](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/apartmentIQ-.png) ApartmentIQ, a real-time market intelligence, revenue management, and AI platform for the multifamily industry, has secured a $25m follow-on investment from Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE). At the centre of ApartmentIQ’s offering is its market survey tool, which draws exclusively on publicly available data to give operators daily, unit-level insight into pricing and availability. It is designed to replace the slower, manual survey processes operators have traditionally used to track competitor pricing. ApartmentIQ has also rolled out MavenAI, its AI-powered marketing agent for the multifamily sector. The tool takes over tasks multifamily teams have traditionally handled by hand, such as updating Google Business Profiles, publishing to social channels, and managing listings across a range of disconnected marketing platforms. Alec Slocum, ApartmentIQ Co-Founder and CEO, said, “When SGE first invested, we had a strong business helping people find apartments. Today, we’re building products that help multifamily operators see their markets in real time, make more predictive decisions, and automate more of the manual work required to compete. SGE has been an exceptional partner through a period of transformation for the business. This investment accelerates our vision for a broader multifamily platform powered by real-time public data and AI.” Josh Elser, Susquehanna Growth Equity Managing Director, said, “The Company’s expansion and effective utilisation of AI to provide real-time market intelligence, revenue management, and marketing automation reflects a platform that is both broadening its capabilities and becoming increasingly critical for operators and owners.

The funding will support the tech startup’s expansion into Manchester and further enhance its technology platform. Having already begun onboarding estate agents across Greater Manchester, Breezemove is targeting further expansion into Leeds, London and Bristol as it continues to scale nationally. Phil Melia, CEO & Founder of Breezemove, said, “Having spent more than a decade in property development, I experienced first-hand the frustrations and inefficiencies that exist throughout the home-moving process. We launched Breezemove to bring greater accountability, transparency and efficiency to every stage of the transaction journey. The Venture Forward programme really helped us to understand what was required when undergoing an institutional funding round and was ultimately invaluable when we were raising funds.” He also added, “This investment from GC Angels now gives us the capital we need to continue enhancing our technology and accelerating our growth. We’ve already seen strong adoption across Birmingham, Liverpool and now Manchester, and we’re excited to build on that momentum as we expand into new regions.” Ranvir Singh MBA, LLM, MA Oxon., investment manager at GC Angels, said, “The property transaction process is extremely complex and fragmented. Breezemove has developed an innovative solution that addresses these challenges by improving accountability and transparency across the entire transaction chain.” [Source](https://businesscloud.co.uk/news/breezemove-targets-uk-expansion-after-160k-investment/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The partnership brings together Measurabl’s sustainability data platform, with Inveniam’s verifiable data infrastructure and document intelligence capabilities. Maureen Waters, CEO of Measurabl, said, “This partnership with Inveniam is a direct response to what our customers told us. By combining the strengths of our two platforms, we’re helping our customers transform fragmented sustainability information into trusted, secure, and connected data that remains under their ownership and control, enabling better business decisions today while creating the foundation for intelligent automation and AI.” A key component of the partnership is Inveniam’s document intelligence capability, built with Docugami. Led by XML co-creator Jean Paoli, Docugami developed the Document Graph Markup Language (DGML) standard, which transforms complex documents, such as those used in real estate, into precisely labeled, machine-readable data with unsurpassed accuracy, security, while optimising AI token usage to reduce processing costs. Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inveniam, said, “Together with Measurabl, we’re helping customers transform fragmented information into verifiable sustainability data that supports better business decisions while creating the data infrastructure needed for the future of intelligent real estate. By combining document intelligence with the NVNM permissioned blockchain, we’re giving customers a way to securely leverage AI without giving up ownership or control of their data.” [Source](https://www.measurabl.com/measurabl-inveniam-ai-real-estate-data-partnership/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

He will continue as Chairman of Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc., Newmark’s operating company, to focus on relevant and impactful topics. Newmark has a deep and experienced leadership team, and this orderly transition positions the Company for continued success in the years ahead. Newmark’s Board of Directors expects to identify a new CEO by year end. Stephen Merkel, Chairman of the Board, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Newmark, said, “For nearly five decades, Barry, along with his entire leadership team, have led Newmark through some of its most consequential milestones, including its initial public offering in 2017 and becoming the fastest growing publicly traded commercial real estate firm in the world, increasing annual revenues by over 1,400% since 2011 while expanding to more than 10,000 professionals across approximately 195 locations.” Barry Gosin said, “The Company is stronger than ever, our strategy is working, and the opportunities ahead are substantial, which is why I believe now is the right time to take a step back from day-to-day operations to focus solely on matters that will make a difference to Newmark, and to support the Company through this transition.” [Source](https://www.nmrk.com/insights/press-releases/barry-gosin-to-step-down-as-ceo-of-newmark-group-inc-at-year-end-will-continue-as-chairman-of-newmark-co-real-estate-newmarks-operating-company) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The company develops AI-powered software for real estate due diligence and underwriting. Feedback Ventures led the latest funding round. Diald plans to use the new capital to support the launch of its rebuilt platform and expand its product offering. The updated platform will include tools such as the Neighborhood Investment Rating. It will also introduce conversational underwriting features. These tools aim to make real estate analysis more accessible to family offices and independent investors. The platform is designed to help users assess property opportunities and risks through a simpler workflow. Steven Song, founder and CEO of Diald, said, “For family offices and independent investors, collating the data to evaluate a property feels like finding a needle in a haystack. We designed Diald to do that work automatically, providing professional-grade underwriting through plain-English conversation, no analyst or training required.

The transaction, approved by the French Competition Authority, sees IWG acquire Wojo from its joint shareholders, Bouygues Immobilier and the France based Hotel Accor Group. Integrating Wojo into IWG’s platform creates opportunities to connect French corporate customers with IWG’s international network while offering multinational clients access to Wojo’s city-centre locations and hospitality-led environments. Wojo has built expertise in designing and operating large workplaces integrated into mixed-use developments and hotels, while IWG brings global enterprise sales capabilities, procurement scale, workplace technology and one of the industry’s multinational customer bases.

Great British Energy’s investment will enable us to establish a UK manufacturing base, reduce production costs and scale a British-designed technology platform that combines advanced solar collectors, system design and digital monitoring.” Dan McGrail FEI, CEO of Great British Energy, said, “Cutting our reliance on gas is one of the biggest challenges we face, both for energy security and for keeping bills down. Naked Energy has developed a technology that tackles this head on and when you see it working at UK institutions like the British Library and Wimbledon, you understand what is possible.” Williams FEI added, “Heat is too often overlooked in the energy debate, despite accounting for a major share of fossil-fuel consumption. This investment will help us bring renewable heat to more hospitals, hotels, public buildings and industrial sites in the UK and internationally, while creating skilled jobs and export opportunities here at home.” [Source](https://www.eu-startups.com/2026/08/crawley-based-naked-energy-secures-e10-35-million-to-build-uk-solar-thermal-technology-manufacturing-facility/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Newmark has expanded its multi-year ARGUS Intelligence agreement with Altus Group to include ARGUS Assist, the AI-powered conversational interface.

Anand Chaturvedi, co-founder and CEO of Dili, said, “Compliance in this industry has always meant hoping the sample your auditor pulled happens to be clean. We look at everything, every report, every wage determination, every week. The first time we ran a look-back on a customer’s historical data, we found in four days what would have taken their consultants months to find by sampling, if they’d found it at all.” Vinod Khosla, ventures founder of Khosla Ventures, said, “America is in the middle of the largest infrastructure buildout in a generation. One missed financial compliance requirement puts hundreds of millions of dollars at risk. Dili gives the industries building this infrastructure a real-time, AI-powered assurance layer that catches problems before they become liabilities.” The new funding will go toward hiring across engineering, product, and go-to-market as Dili expands prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance into broader audit and waste detection.

with Fifth Wall Participated](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/modo-energy-1.png) Atoms has raised $1.7 billion in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz. Ben Horowitz will join the company’s board following the investment. Bain Capital, Fifth Wall, and others also participated in the round. Coinciding with the funding announcement, Kalanick revealed the restructuring of his businesses under a single umbrella called Atoms, to include a number of companies and projects he has worked on over the past years, foremost among them CloudKitchens, in addition to companies and technologies specialised in automation and industrial robotics. Atoms focuses on developing specialised robots to perform specific tasks within industrial environments, rather than developing multi-purpose humanoid robots. The company believes that robots designed for particular tasks achieve higher efficiency and lower cost, and can be easily integrated into production lines and supply chains. The company intends to use the new funding to expand its operational activities, attract engineering talent, and accelerate product development, alongside enhancing its investments in software, robotics, and the infrastructure needed to expand the reach of its solutions in industrial markets. Travis Kalanick, CEO of Atoms, wrote, “On many levels, this round is a bit of unfinished business. Fuel to complete the bits-to-atoms story arc we started at Uber, continued at CloudKitchens and will now finish at Atoms. 16 years ago, I started a journey to digitise the physical world. Understand, predict and control the physical world with software. Building ‘atoms-based’ computers where CPU is manufacturing, storage is real estate, and network is transportation.” [Source](https://jawlah.co/en/61057) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Adam Nelson, Partner at FirstMark Capital, has also joined Henry’s board of directors. Commercial real estate firms sit on decades of proprietary transaction data, including underwriting models, client relationships, deal history, scattered across old files and individual analysts’ heads. That is why Henry has launched Henry Deal, which turns a firm’s entire institutional memory into deliverables across the full lifecycle of a transaction, from underwriting to packaging to close. Sammy Greenwall, co-founder and CEO of Henry, said, “The real problem is that these firms are sitting on the most valuable data in the industry and can’t actually leverage it. We started by automating the deck. With Henry Deal, we’re shipping the system of record that turns that institutional knowledge into every deliverable a deal needs. Winning the deal today, the entire back office tomorrow.” Adam Nelson, Partner at FirstMark Capital, said, “Henry combines deep commercial real estate expertise with a technical team that is translating that insight into product at remarkable speed. The company began with one of the industry’s most painful back-office bottlenecks. We believe Henry is on a path to becoming the intelligence layer for commercial real estate.” Adam Pratt, co-founder and CTO of Henry, said, “The bottleneck in CRE has never been the data, it’s the cost of turning data into finished deliverables. Every step in the deal chain has been done manually by expensive people under deadline pressure. We built Henry to automate that entire layer. Now we scale it.” [Source](https://www.dwelly.group/blog/dwelly-raises-170m-series-b) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Lettings](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/dwelly.png) Dwelly has raised a $170 million Series B to build the AI operating system for UK lettings agencies. The financing was led by EQT Growth, with participation from General Catalyst, s16vc – Founders for Founders Fund, Begin Capital, DVC, and founders including the CEOs of Legora, Synthesia, and ElevenLabs, plus Philipp Freise, Partner and Co-Head of European Private Equity at KKR. The round includes $95 million in equity and a $75 million debt facility led by Trinity Capital. The capital will boost AI-native platform development, acquire more independent agencies, and bring them onto Dwelly’s operating system. Ilia Drozdov, co-founder and CEO of Dwelly, said, “Dwelly is AI-first by default: we assume AI should be able to do every operational task. That changes what a lettings agent can be. AI takes over the transactional layer, while our people become world-class advisors to landlords and tenants.” Today, Dwelly has over 15,000 properties and manage £350 million in rent roll. In February 2026, Dwelly raised $93 million to fuel AI-powered expansion across the UK’s letting industry.

Leadership](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/BNP-Paribas-Real-Estate.png) BNP Paribas Real Estate UK’s chief executive Mark England is leaving the business after almost 40 years. Gary Higgins, Managing director of subsidiary Strutt & Parker, has been named interim chief executive. The firm said it was undertaking a major leadership restructuring to ensure it had an experienced interim team at the helm during the transition. England will remain as a senior adviser during the transition. Higgins was picked as interim chief executive for his “deep knowledge of the UK business and strong understanding of the wider BNP Paribas environment”. He worked for BNP Paribas for 20 years before moving over to Strutt & Parker in April 2025. Jean-Maxime Jouis, chief executive of BNP Paribas Real Estate, said, “This structure brings together proven senior leadership, strong UK market experience, international expertise and excellent existing management talent. It gives the UK business continuity, stability and clear client focus while we continue to deliver against our strategic priorities.” [Source](https://www.propertyweek.com/news/bnp-paribas-real-estate-uks-ceo-steps-away-after-40-years-with-the-business#:~:text=Who%20owns%20Manchester%3F-,BNP%20Paribas%20Real%20Estate%20UK's%20CEO%20steps,40%20years%20with%20the%20business&text=BNP%20Paribas%20Real%20Estate%20UK's%20chief%20executive%20Mark%20England%20is,business%20after%20almost%2040%20years.&text=Gary%20Higgins%2C%20managing%20director%20of,been%20named%20interim%20chief%20executive.) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) ![Read article: Furbnow Raises £2.5 Million Seed to Scale UK Home Energy Retrofit Platform](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/furbnow.png) Furbnow has secured £2.5 million ($3.3 million) in seed funding to expand its home energy retrofit platform across the UK. The round was led by West Midlands Co-Investment Fund, with participation from Nesta, Wrightwood Investments, and SFC Capital. Furbnow partners with councils across England, Cotswold District Council and Forest of Dean District Council among them, offering retrofit surveys and advice as a one-stop provider. West Yorkshire’s mayoral-backed Home Energy West Yorkshire program, launched late last year, listed Furbnow as a service supplier. Becky Lane, Co-Founder & CEO of Furbnow, said, “I started Furbnow because improving the energy efficiency of my own home was genuinely miserable. Conflicting advice, quotes I couldn’t compare, and nobody whose actual job was to guide me through it. I’d been delivering large retrofit programmes by then, so I knew the problem wasn’t a lack of good intentions. It was the lack of anyone trusted to hold the whole thing together and the tools needed to deliver that.” Furbnow plans to spend the fresh capital on team growth, technology platform upgrades, and expanding UK service delivery.

By deploying PurlinOS, Purlin Close, and Purlin Offer & Negotiate across the brokerage, FirstTeam is unifying workflows and software within an intelligent AI operating foundation that connects agents, teams, clients, contracts, and transactions in one experience. Real estate agents can interact with their AI agent by any form of communication to get work done. Michele Harrington, CEO of FirstTeam®, said, “As the market evolves and continues to become more competitive, our investment in an intelligent, AI-led ecosystem will help our agents work efficiently and make more informed decisions. We’re providing them the resources they need to find success and better serve their clients. Purlin gives us the ability to standardise how the entire organization works while helping our agents deliver a more seamless experience.” Giorgi Chigogidze, Chief Executive Officer of Purlin, said, “Most brokerages and teams are not yet built for a market where AI touches every part of the transaction. By standardising operations, contracts, and negotiations on a single platform, the brokerage is creating a competitive advantage for agents who want to work with modern infrastructure rather than adapt to it later.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/firstteam-connects-its-entire-technology-ecosystem-with-purlins-ai-powered-operating-model-for-real-estate-302834640.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Heather Staff and Thomson Staff, CEOs and co-founders of Street Group, said, “We built Street to fundamentally change how estate and letting agents work, and AI is central to that mission. In Hg, we have found a partner who shares our long-term ambition, our product focus, and brings genuine depth of experience and operational expertise in scaling software and AI businesses. This partnership allows us to invest even more in our products, our technology and our people, while staying true to the culture and obsessive customer focus that have defined Street from the start.” Louis Kinsella, Partner, Hg, said, “Street is exactly the kind of business we love to back. It’s a category leader with a technical edge, loved by its customers, and is deeply embedded in their daily workflows.

Construction](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/terrafirma.png) TerraFirma, a construction company focused on critical infrastructure, has announced it has raised approximately $115 million, including a $100 million Series A led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures (BCV), Glade Brook Capital Partners LLC, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. The funding will support the expansion of TerraFirma’s engineering, manufacturing, operations, and construction teams, as well as the continued development of its semi-autonomous heavy equipment systems. Noah S., CEO and co-founder of TerraFirma, said, “America built the transcontinental railroad, the interstate highway system, and the Hoover Dam. There’s no reason we can’t build at that scale again, and there’s no first-principles reason construction can’t become 10x faster, cheaper, and safer. TerraFirma exists to help America build again and then take that capacity into the cosmos.” Noah McGuinness, CTO of TerraFirma, said, “Making construction truly faster and cheaper requires innovating on operations and technology together across the full stack. We believe autonomy is a part of the solution, but driving real change requires building a whole ecosystem of technology that is directly informed by rapid iteration and lessons from the field.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260714397606/en/TerraFirma-Raises-%24115M-to-Accelerate-Construction-on-Earth-and-Beyond) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Hannia Zia, co-founder and CEO of Cascade, said, “Every firm we work with can point to a project they should have won but never even had a chance to see. Cascade is built around the bottom line, find the right work early, understand where you have a real advantage, and turn that into revenue delivered.” Joana F. co-founder and CTO of Cascade, said, “Hedge funds look at a crazy amount of data to predict stock movements. We use the same logic to predict construction projects.” The funding will accelerate adoption and deepen Cascade’s network across the industry. Even building a house takes twenty companies coming together, and multimillion-dollar projects take an order of magnitude more.

SwiftConnect’s AccessCloud platform connects identity providers, mobile credentials, and access control systems across buildings, campuses, and portfolios. HID SAFE manages the governance layer, automating access requests, approvals, policy enforcement, and revocation based on changes in HR, IT, and security systems. Together, they deliver a single platform for physical access governance that covers the full arc: who someone is, what they are authorised to access, how they access it, and what happens when their role changes. Matt Kopel and Chip K., Co-CEOs of SwiftConnect, said, “Access should be invisible for users. They are easily credentialed, they walk in, and nothing gets in their way. The addition of HID SAFE enables governance that makes this possible. The policies, approvals, and compliance requirements will now all live in the same platform as the experience.” Björn Lidefelt, EVP and Head of HID, said, “HID SAFE has earned the trust of the world’s most security-driven organizations for more than two decades. Great technology deserves the space to reach its full potential, and SwiftConnect is the right partner to take it there.” For existing SwiftConnect customers, the acquisition delivers enterprise-grade physical access governance capabilities natively integrated with AccessCloud. For existing HID SAFE customers, their governance platform is backed by SwiftConnect’s cloud-first, connected access infrastructure that networks existing physical access systems with cloud, identity, and mobile technologies.

The financing brings the London-based company’s total capital raised to $52 million. Modo Energy develops benchmarking, forecasting and valuation tools for battery storage and renewable energy assets. Investors, developers, owners and operators use the platform to assess project economics, support financing decisions and manage assets participating in energy markets. Modo Energy plans to invest the funding in its technology platform while expanding its sales and marketing operations. The company will also continue hiring across its team of more than 75 analysts, data scientists and engineers and extend its coverage into additional energy markets. The new capital arrives as the energy storage industry enters a period requiring infrastructure investment. Modo Energy plans to expand its geographic reach while strengthening the data, analytics and AI capabilities available to customers. Quentin ‘Q’ Scrimshire, CEO and Co-Founder of Modo Energy, said, “When forecasts are bankable, capital flows and projects get built. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s why CIBC Innovation Banking is backing us. We’ll put this capital straight to work: in Ko, in our team, and in new markets. Raising $52 million in six months, capped by CIBC Innovation Banking’s commitment, tells us the people who finance, build, and operate energy assets share our vision for the future.” Sean Duffy, Managing Director and Market Lead at CIBC Innovation Banking, said, “Modo Energy is building critical infrastructure for the energy transition, a trusted standard for valuing storage and renewable assets. Its growth, and the confidence its customers place in it, reinforced our conviction in the business, and we look forward to supporting the team’s next chapter.” [Source](https://pulse2.com/modo-energy-secures-17-million-in-growth-funding-from-cibc-innovation-banking/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Mitie, which provides services including security and cleaning for both public and private sectors, said that it had accepted the offer. Under the terms, shareholders will receive up to 221.6p per share, a package of cash and dividends. This represents a premium of almost 45 per cent on Mitie’s closing share price of 151p recorded on Monday. The acquisition means it will take on Mitie’s workforce which stood at around 84,000 at the end of March as well as its existing partnerships and contracts. This includes contracts with a range of Government departments for security and facilities management, the NHS for a range of services like catering, cleaning and portering, as well as servicing some of the UK’s train stations and airports. The takeover means Mitie joins a growing list of listed companies to see their shares taken off the London Stock Exchange and into private ownership. Phil Bentley, Mitie’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “This recommended offer reflects the strength of Mitie’s brand, capabilities and reputation, and delivers value for our shareholders. As part of a larger group with a wider geographical footprint, Mitie would have an even stronger platform to invest in our people, technology and services, and to do even more for the customers and communities we support.” Rob Legge, Chief Executive of OCS Group, said, “Subject to completion, we would build a British facilities management group that is better positioned to support the organisations that keep the country running. Together, we can better support existing and new customers, help more people into work and strengthen our contribution to getting Britain moving.” [Source](https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/mitie-agrees-3-1bn-takeover-084227883.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Operators](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Sanierungsberatung-1.png) Uniti, the agentic AI layer for global real estate operators, has announced a $12 million Series A led by Pathlight, with participation from MetaProp and existing investors Prudence, Flex Capital, Alate Partners, and RE | VC. In addition, individual investors in this round include Romain Huet (OpenAI), Lenny Rachitsky and Gokul Rajaram. The round accelerates Uniti’s expansion across self storage, senior living, multifamily, manufactured housing, and flexible workspace, bringing agentic AI to real estate’s most demanding portfolios. Uniti deploys AI agents that handle the full breadth of real estate workflows, from sales and leasing to support, maintenance, collections, payments, and reviews. Francesco Decamilli, Co-Founder and CEO of Uniti, said, “Property managers are, at their core, operations people. They live and die by process, consistency, and execution. What we’ve built is the infrastructure to codify that playbook and run it perfectly, every time, at any scale. No missed calls, no skipped workflows, no off-script responses. And once the playbook runs itself, operators can scale without limits.” Mahdi Raza, General Partner at Pathlight, said, “Real estate is one of the world’s largest and most operationally complex industries, and it has been waiting for infrastructure built around how operators actually work. Uniti has built the agentic layer that runs the full operation, not just a single workflow, across every vertical that matters. Francesco and Emre move with unusual conviction, and the results their customers are seeing make that clear.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260721358977/en/Uniti-Raises-%2412M-Series-A-to-Build-the-Agentic-AI-Layer-for-Global-Real-Estate-Operators) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by Simon Capital and VERBUND X Ventures, with existing investors IBB Ventures, Vireo Ventures, and Atlantic Food Labs participating. Referencing Germany’s Federal Environment Agency, the company states that building operations are responsible for roughly 30% of the country’s CO2 emissions, about 112 million tons per year, driven mainly by heating with fossil gas and oil. It further notes that residential buildings are therefore one of the biggest levers for the energy transition, yet the renovation journey remains challenging for many homeowners. dsb claims to address this by combining independent energy consulting and subsidy services with a network of vetted skilled trades businesses on a digital platform. Homeowners need just one point of contact for their entire renovation. Sebastian Schmidt, CEO and co-founder of dsb, said, “Europe’s competitiveness and climate goals are also decided at home: every geopolitical crisis sends energy costs soaring, and homeowners bear the consequences. The solution is independent, sustainable energy supply. That’s why we founded dsb.” Niclas Kern, CFO and co-founder of dsb, stated, “Right now, capital is flowing mainly into AI, and GreenTech is getting less attention. Our round shows that strong growth and a working business model can still win over investors, even outside the hype.” Adam Khenissi, CCO and co-founder of dsb, said, “Two years ago, we were still sitting in a living room researching insulation materials. Today, we’ve helped more than 10,000 families with their renovations. Around 80% of Germany’s 15 million single-family homes are still not energy-efficient. We’re only at the beginning of this journey.” The company plans to use this capital to continue expanding its platform and its network of 300 local skilled trades businesses. Alongside the launch of a proprietary electricity tariff, the company also intends to enter the B2B market.

The round was co-led by Course Corrected and the European Innovation Council Fund (European Commission), with participation from RE Ventures, part of the Romande Energie Group, alongside existing investors Lifeline Ventures, Übermorgen Ventures and PC Rettig & Co Impact AB. The company’s robotic microfactories can produce infrastructure components while reducing costs by up to 50 per cent and cutting carbon emissions by up to 70 per cent. Hyperion says its approach also uses up to 75 per cent less material than traditional construction by shifting production from labour-intensive building sites to digitally controlled factories. Fernando De los Rios, Hyperion CEO of Hyperion Robotics, said, “Investment will enable the company to scale factory-based manufacturing as Europe faces growing infrastructure renewal needs alongside labour shortages, budget constraints and decarbonisation targets. We’ve already built some of the most efficient concrete structures in the world. With this funding, we start delivering at scale, in factories built next to the projects they serve. Europe doesn’t have the time, the budget or the labour for construction to keep working the way it has. Physical AI is how we close that gap.” The investment will support the launch of Forge I, Hyperion’s UK microfactory, in Flixborough near Scunthorpe in partnership with LKAB. The facility will manufacture infrastructure components for sectors including energy, utilities, water, data centres and carbon capture. The funding will also support further development of the Forge platform and the company’s expansion across European infrastructure markets.

Virtual Bid Assistants prepares the information, assisting getting quotes back on time, and making sure the proposal is fully covered. Ted Baumgardner, founder and President of Guthrie AI, said, “We’re not building a self-driving car. Not yet. There’s still a person behind the wheel, a real “VBA” who knows how to do a takeoff and price a job the way you need. What we built is the app that makes it easy to hire that person, train them, and work with them every day. Uber never built a car. What they built was the app that makes it easy to find a driver. That’s what we’re doing for glazing contractors.” The round will fund an expanded engineering team and continued growth of Guthrie AI’s Virtual Bid Assistant program, helping them speed up bidding and cut back on the administrative work that eats into an estimator’s day. Rob Chesney, General Partner at Chicago Ventures, said, “The hardest thing to find in construction tech is a founder who has actually lived the problem. Ted grew up doing takeoffs in his family’s glass business before serving as a Marine intelligence officer. He knows this trade from the inside and has a tenacious, competitive spirit.

Rather than selling robots directly, Monumental provides a construction service in which contractors pay for completed walls instead of purchasing and operating equipment. The outcome-based model removes the financial and operational complexity of adopting robotics while allowing builders to increase capacity without expanding their workforce. Salar al Khafaji, co-founder and CEO of Monumental, said, “Global construction industry lacks the workforce needed to meet rising demand and that increasing capacity requires practical automation rather than experimental. Every robot we deploy expands the industry’s capacity to build, bringing a future of beautiful, affordable, bespoke buildings and infrastructure closer to reality technology.” The funding will support the company’s next phase of growth by expanding its team of hardware and software engineers, increasing the deployment of its robotic fleet across Europe and the UK, strengthening its UK operations, broadening the range of construction tasks its robots can perform, and supporting its planned expansion into the US.

The investment will support the next stage of the company’s development as it moves from laboratory-scale pilots towards validating the biobased binder platform in the market and larger-scale tests of production design with industry partners. The binder technology, visiBINDER, is a mycelium-based binder designed for paving and infrastructure applications. Line Kloster Pedersen, CEO and Founder of Visibuilt, said, “Closing this seed round is an important milestone for Visibuilt. It enables us to mature our technical platform, validate our solution at a larger scale, and take the next steps towards the market.” Construction and infrastructure rely heavily on binders such as bitumen and cement, both associated with significant carbon emissions. Visibuilt is developing visiBINDER, a biobased binder produced from mycelium, the root structure of fungi. The technology is designed to offer a less energy intensive solution for paving materials while meeting the durability and performance requirements of outdoor applications.

The round also welcomed new investors Bloomhaus Ventures AG, Look AI Ventures and the German business angel group superangels, while existing backers SOSV, OMA (the founders of ProGlove) and 12 Rounds Capital (Katharina Klausberger and Armin Strbac) participated with follow-on investments. The company is developing AI-powered technology that automatically surveys and digitally maps construction sites, mines, and infrastructure projects during operation. Ralf Pfefferkorn, CEO and co-founder of Sodex Innovations, said, “Real-time updates directly from the construction site have become a central starting point and are now indispensable for many of our customers. With this funding, we can not only expand our team but also our portfolio and scale internationally much more quickly.” Michael Wittner, partner at Capmont Technology, added, “For the first time, Sodex makes physical construction activity measurable and controllable in real time, thereby creating the data foundation on which the industry will be managed in the future. We believe that a combination of hardware, software, data, and AI, which enables these sectors to achieve a real leap in productivity, is not only incredibly exciting but also long overdue.” [Source](https://tech.eu/2026/07/13/sodex-innovations-secures-4m-to-bring-real-time-intelligence-to-construction-sites/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The oversubscribed round was led by Triple Point, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz scout fund, Anamcara Capital, Concrete Ventures, Foundation Ventures, Haatch, Koro Capital, Love Ventures, and Portfolio Ventures. Prolo acts as an outsourced AI-powered procurement team. Contractors can place orders through WhatsApp, email or phone. Prolo then combines AI with human procurement specialists to source competitive pricing from a nationwide network of more than 185 suppliers. The platform provides access to trade rates on bulk materials and specialist plant hire that are typically reserved for larger contractors. James Morris-Manuel, CEO & Founder of Prolo, said, “SME contractors have long been disadvantaged by limited price transparency and inefficient procurement processes, often paying higher prices because they lack the purchasing power of tier-one contractors. With Prolo, we are fundamentally changing the way construction supply chains operate.” The new funding will support Prolo’s go-to-market strategy, expand its sales and marketing capabilities, and accelerate the rollout of new technology and product features as the company continues to grow its customer base among SME contractors.

The partnership marks a shift in how owners engage with project data. Owners have the most at stake on any construction project, yet they have relied on periodic, manually compiled reports to understand what is happening on site. Chaitanya N K, Co-Founder & CEO, Track3D, said, “Owners have long been the most underserved stakeholders in construction technology. This partnership with Zero RFI changes that. We are bringing Reality Intelligence directly into the owner’s seat, giving them the same objective view of project performance that leading GC teams already rely on to protect schedules, prevent rework, and make better decisions.” KP Reddy, founder and CEO of Zero RFI, said, “Partnering with Track3D gives our clients a level of jobsite visibility that used to require dedicated personnel or specialised vendor relationships.” [Source](https://www.constructionowners.com/press-release/zero-rfi-and-track3d-partner-to-bring-ai-powered-construction-progress-tracking-to-next-generation-of-owner-representation) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

A comprehensive team of Energy Advisory and Sustainability’s technical specialists provide expertise on energy sourcing; efficiency; and end-use optimization, including technology integration such as EV-charging, on-site/off-site renewables, battery storage and microgrid solutions. “In response to accelerating demand, we have established a dedicated practice for energy advisory services to expand our sustainability offerings,” said Sanjay Rishi, CEO, Work Dynamics, Americas. “Josephine is a recognized authority in the clean energy field, and I’m excited that more of our clients can now benefit from her leadership and the expertise of her team.” As Americas Head of Energy Advisory and Sustainability, Tucker reports to Rishi.

This fundamentally changes how businesses own, operate and lease spaces. As a leading real estate management and consulting company, JLL can play a huge role in servicing energy demands and reducing emissions. I’m thrilled to lead that effort.” JLL Work Dynamics enables the world’s greatest organizations to do their best work. We manage facilities, projects and portfolios to shape a better world of work.

It provides real estate owners access to state-of-the-art financial and tokenization services that also streamline the process for raising capital for equity, debt or a hybrid mix. Scintilla will deliver the core tokenization technology and broker/dealer services necessary to facilitate the distribution of these digital tokens in the UAE. For investors, this collaboration unlocks access to diversified real estate opportunities while enjoying the efficiency and lower costs provided by blockchain technology. The strategic collaboration will look to redefine real estate financing and distribution models with a compliance-first approach aligned to global regulatory standards. The collaboration aims to deliver value for both asset owners and investors. In a recent transaction in London, Verseprop was able to demonstrate a 50% cost saving vs traditional businesses. **The UK and UAE Bridge** The collaboration between Scintilla and Verseprop bridges two dynamic markets: the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Leveraging the UK’s established, and highly sought after, trillion-dollar commercial real estate sector alongside Dubai’s pioneering approach to blockchain and digital assets, the partnership offers a unique synergy. “Scintilla is delighted to join forces with Verseprop to redefine how real estate assets are tokenized and traded,” said Tim Popplewell, founder and CEO of Scintilla. “This collaboration marks a significant step in our journey to bring institutional-grade solutions to the digital asset space, opening up new avenues for investors and developers alike.” “Verseprop is not just tokenizing real estate equity and debt; we are fundamentally reshaping how people access real estate and how asset owners think about distribution,” said Joel Coren, CEO of Verseprop. “Our platform offers a seamless, transparent, and digital way for investors to access high-quality real estate opportunities that were previously out of reach, and asset owners to reach them.” [Source](https://ffnews.com/newsarticle/cryptocurrency/scintilla-and-verseprop-announce-strategic-collaboration-to-revolutionize-real-estate-tokenization/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round included participation from JLL Spark, 10D, Ocean Azul, Random Forest and M-Fund. qbiq’s software enables non-architects and architect users alike to immediately plan, visualize and optimize any given space. With a simple input of requirements – from seat count to finish materials – qbiq’s AI generates a complete design package including optimized floor plans, 3D visualizations, architectural programs, quantity estimates, Revit/CAD models and more. qbiq transforms complex design processes into easy-to-use solutions that can dramatically accelerate decision-making and transactions for brokers, landlords, tenants, architects, general contractors, and co-working chains. The investment will drive qbiq’s mission to standardize automated architectural capabilities in commercial real estate, making architectural planning faster, accessible, and more efficient for non-designers and designers alike. **A New Era of Automated Architectural Capabilities** Since launch, qbiq’s customers have created over 400 million square feet of architectural layouts and visualizations in hours, replacing weeks or even months of manual work to accelerate decision-making and reduce deal cycles. The customer base has grown more than tenfold and qbiq continues to see increasing demand. “When we officially launched in 2023, I discussed reaching 100 million square feet delivered to clients as a KPI. This was thought by many to be unrealistic. By 2024 we had already quadrupled that goal and are now speeding towards the 1 billion square foot mark,” says Leeor Solnik, qbiq’s CEO & Co-Founder. “Joining forces with Insight Partners is a big milestone for qbiq, enabling the acceleration of our global expansion and paving our way towards a real industry transformation.” Liad Agmon, Managing Director at Insight Partners, led the investment in qbiq and will join the company’s board of directors. “When I was CEO, we would have at least one major office move per year across our global offices. Understanding whether a vacant space would be optimal for our needs was a tedious and lengthy process that would often take weeks and involve back and forth between our team, landlords, and our architects. I was impressed by how elegantly qbiq solves this problem, saving valuable time and money to all parties involved.” said Agmon. “With qbiq, we’re witnessing a game-changing shift—helping define a new era of automated architectural planning.” **Ending the decades-long dependency on manual architectural workflows** qbiq tackles one of real estate’s biggest pain points: the inefficiency of traditional architectural planning, which leads to delays and prolonged deal cycles. For decades, creating layouts involved slow, manual work using tools like AutoCAD, with architects solving complex design problems line by line. Even after completing a layout, interpreting it can be challenging—especially for those without a design background. Creating clarity through visuals, such as rendered tours and images, is a costly, months-long process, making it impractical for most deals and projects. qbiq has created one of the first Architectural AI platforms that allows brokers, landlords, architects, general contractors, and tenants to easily envision the full potential of any space in minutes, while considering basic or complex requirements. Customers such as Brookfield Properties, JLL, Skanska and IWG are able to easily create a wide range of architectural outputs for any space in minutes. These outputs include architectural programs, programmatic or conceptual layouts, high-resolution rendered tours and images, quantity takeoffs CAD/Revit models and more. **About qbiq** [qbiq](http://qbiq.ai) leverages generative AI to automate and democratize architectural planning at any scale. With qbiq, tenants make highly informed decisions, brokers close deals and projects faster, landlords increase ROI from reduced vacancies due to shorter deal cycles and architects can boost their planning capacity. Founded in 2019 by Leeor Solnik, Elad Kaminer, Noam Diamantstein and Roey Granot. qbiq is headquartered in Tel Aviv, with offices in New York and Miami. To date, qbiq has delivered over 400 million square feet of plans, transforming real estate transactions for hundreds of clients globally. **About Insight Partners** Insight Partners is a global software investor partnering with high-growth technology, software, and Internet startup and ScaleUp companies that are driving transformative change in their industries.

Formerly known as Hestia, Domna was founded in 2023 by ex-McKinsey Partner Anna Moore (CEO) and ex-British Land and essensys leader Chenai Gondo (former COO), alongside former Exii CTO Khalim Conn-Kowlessar (CTO). It provides turnkey energy efficiency services to private and socially rented housing portfolios throughout the UK. It combines proprietary retrofit assessment software with on-site services to deliver a ‘one-stop-shop’ customer experience. The initial investment by Leon Capital, a private equity firm that partners with ambitious founders and tech-enabled services companies, will facilitate Domna’s ‘buy-and-build’ approach. This allows Domna to scale up its operations quickly in response to the acute need for residential retrofit in the UK. According to the UK Parliament’s Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, the UK has 29 million existing homes that need to be retrofitted to low carbon home energy systems by 2050. As a result of the new funding, Domna, together with Leon Capital, is pleased to announce the acquisition of two established and experienced retrofit surveying and contracting businesses: The Warmfront Team and Osmosis ACD, as well as Domna’s proprietary predictive housing stock assessment technology and retrofit assessment software. Established in 2012 by Alexander Hearn, The Warmfront Team specialises in energy efficiency surveying services and currently works with over 60 social housing associations in the UK (including 7 of the 10 largest social housing providers in the UK), representing over 900,000 homes. Located in the West Midlands, the team comprises experienced surveyors, who are all fully qualified Domestic Energy Assessors and Retrofit Assessors. The majority of its work is linked to public retrofit programmes such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS). The group is the largest provider of ECO assessments in UK social housing, and also serves the private-rental and owner-occupied markets. Osmosis ACD is an independent retrofit consultancy specialising in providing PAS (Publicly Available Specifications) 2035-compliant retrofit assessment, coordination, and design to housing associations and local authorities. The majority of its work is linked to public retrofit programmes such as the Local Authority Delivery (LAD) scheme and the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF). The leadership team comprises Matthew Ratcliff, Saskia Ratcliff, and Kevin Nicholson — bringing deep technical experience in retrofit. In bringing these companies together, the combined leadership team of the Domna group has over 70 years’ retrofit and energy efficiency experience and a 65+ team of retrofit professionals across the UK working to PAS2035 standard, with fully accredited Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Coordinators, and Retrofit Designers. The combined group already delivers approximately 15,000 domestic retrofits a year across social and private rental, multi-family and single-family homes in the UK, which equates to over 20kt CO2 a year in carbon abatement, and approximately £7 million a year in fuel poverty reduction. Anna Moore, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Domna, said: “In Leon Capital, Domna has found a forward-thinking partner that shares our commitment to raising the bar for UK housing and, in doing so, to realising the £500+ billion opportunity in UK retrofit. The synergies with Warmfront and Osmosis are clear and together we are already proving that retrofit is not only the right thing to do, but also good business. Whether you care about climate change or the standard of living, the need for action on retrofit is urgent, with homes driving 26% of total emissions in the UK and an estimated 6.5 million households living in fuel poverty. This investment allows us to reach more households, offering practical advice and rolling up our sleeves on site to make homes not only more healthy, comfortable, and energy efficient but also more valuable, with retrofits often adding over 20% to valuations.” Alexander Hearn, Founder of The Warmfront Team, said: “I’m thrilled to announce the partnership and transition of the Warmfront team to the Domna Group after 14 incredible years of trading. It was crucial for me to find the right partners who share our vision for a greener future. I have full confidence that the Domna Group will take Warmfront to the next level, continuing our mission to reduce carbon emissions in the UK and make a lasting positive impact on the environment.” Matt Ratcliff, Founder of Osmosis ACD, said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled that we’ve joined forces with Domna. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Osmosis ACD and reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team and the support from existing and previous clients. Domna shares our vision for excellence and our commitment to our teams and to be an employer of choice, and together, we’re poised to deliver even greater value and an enhanced service offering to our customers and stakeholders.” Christos Lavidas and Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte, Managing Partners, and Michael Youtsos, Partner, at Leon Capital, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Anna and the rest of the management team in building a truly tech-enabled service provider in UK residential retrofit, and in doing so, do our part in helping reduce fuel poverty and carbon emissions across the country. We are grateful for the team’s trust, and our investment only reaffirms Leon Capital as a partner of choice for founder-owned businesses.” **About Domna:** [Domna](http://www.domna.homes) provides turnkey energy efficiency services to housing portfolios throughout the UK, combining proprietary retrofit assessment software with on-site services to deliver a ‘one-stop-shop’ customer experience.

The round was led by Raed Ventures, with participation from SEEDRA Ventures through its second fund as well as Aqar Platform, JOA Capital, NAMA Ventures, and HALA Ventures. This investment reflects the resounding confidence in Rize’s vision and its ambitious goals to reshape the real estate leasing sector in the Kingdom. As part of this investment round and to strengthen its financial capabilities, Rize entered into a debt financing partnership with Partners For Growth. This funding will support Rize’s growth plans and expand its services in line with the Kingdom’s vision for digital transformation and enhancing the real estate sector. Founded in 2021 by Ibrahim Balilah and Mohamed Al-Frahi, Rize is the first Saudi company to offer the “Rent Now, Pay Later” (RNPL) service, allowing tenants to pay annual rents in flexible monthly installments instead of a one sum payment. Since its founding, the company has achieved significant milestones, including reaching a total rental value of over half a billion SAR through its platform. Rize focuses on strengthening its presence in the Riyadh region while also expanding into the Eastern and Western regions. It aims to develop new technological solutions and automate the leasing process via its app to enhance the user experience and offer innovative services that meet their expectations. In conjunction with Aqar Platform’s participation in Rize’s investment round, the “Rent Now, Pay Later” (RNPL) product will be launched on the Aqar platform, allowing tenants on the platform to benefit from flexible monthly payment options. This step enhances the integration between Rize and Aqar’s Platform, providing innovative solutions to support tenants and facilitate leasing processes. Ibrahim Balilah, Co-Founder and CEO of Rize, said: “This investment represents a major turning point in our journey and reflects the investors confidence in our vision to develop the leasing sector. We are committed to providing innovative solutions and improving the rental experience for all parties.” Mohamed Al-Furaihi, Co-Founder and CTO, added: “We have worked hard to develop our internal technologies to enable the automation process and make the rental experience smoother. This investment round is a significant step to enhance our technologies and accelerate the company’s growth.” On his part, Omar Al-Majdouie, Co-Founder at Raed Ventures, stated: “At Raed Ventures, we believe in Rize’s ability to bring about a transformative change in the real estate leasing sector, not only by offering innovative services but also by enabling digital transformation in this important field. The company’s ambitious vision and exceptional team make us proud to be part of this remarkable journey, which boosts the Kingdom’s position as a leading tech hub in the region.” Waleed Albarrak, Principal at SEEDRA Ventures, added, “Rize is transforming the Saudi rental market and redefining the standards of how people rent. Its extraordinary growth mirrors the success stories of industry leaders like Tabby and Tamara, showcasing the company’s exceptional vision and flawless execution. The company’s ability to secure top-tier local and international investors underscores its immense potential. We are proud to have been their first backer from the ideation stage and are delighted to deepen our commitment with a fourth investment in their inspiring journey.” Rize aims to use this investment to accelerate its growth rate, continue offering innovative technological solutions that meet the needs of tenants and property owners, and further aid in the digital transformation of the real estate sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This significant amount was raised from Belgian and American investors, including Rise PropTech Fund, Brick & Mortar Ventures and historical investors Noshaq and InvestSud, in addition to several renowned private investors. Finding a contractor to renovate your home, a solar panel installer or an electrician to bring an aging installation up to standard is often a real challenge. To make it easier to find craftsmen, Trustup connects individuals with more than 20,000 professionals in Belgium and France. In order to offer trusted professionals, Trustup selects companies and independent candidates in advance, checking several criteria, including their financial health, and monitors the satisfaction of their customers who can also rate and comment on the interventions. In addition, its administrative management and site monitoring software makes life easier for construction professionals. More than 4,500 of them use it today. Free for individuals, the digital platform records more than 160,000 visitors per month. **A major turning point in Trustup’s growth** Launched in 2017 by Sébastien Remacle, CEO, Trustup now employs 55 people, mainly based in Liège and Leuven, to currently cover the whole of Belgium and part of France. A team that will be significantly strengthened to cover the French market and the growth ambitions of the scale-up. To give itself the means to achieve its ambitions, Trustup is closing a financing round of €5 million with Belgian and American investors. Led by the investment fund Rise PropTech Fund specializing in technologies for the construction and real estate sector, the funding round is completed by Brick & Mortar Ventures, an American fund specializing in start-ups providing a solution in architecture, engineering or construction, as well as several renowned private investors, gathered within Trustup Angels, an ad hoc vehicle where we find: Tim Vandecasteele (co-founder of Silverfin) and Cédric Pierrard (founder of Efficy). Finally, the financing round brings together the historical investors, Noshaq and InvestSud. “Having the support of Belgian and American investors specializing in tech is a real recognition for us. This new fundraising will allow us to accelerate our growth. We are convinced that our digital solution can really make a difference in the context of the climate transition: the need for renovation to improve the energy performance of homes is enormous and trusted professionals are hard to find. And the situation is the same in our neighboring countries! Furthermore, with the obligation for companies to go digital from 2026, the evolution and potential for large-scale deployment of our management software represent a major opportunity to support this transition.” says Sébastien Remacle, founder and CEO of Trustup. **International structuring and sustained growth** The company, which now has 55 employees, has maintained sustained growth for several years. It had already raised 2 million euros in capital in previous rounds of funding and received, in 2023, the award for the fastest growing technology company in Wallonia during Deloitte’s Fast 50. With this fundraising, the scale-up plans to recruit around fifty additional employees in Belgium to implement its international growth ambitions. With the priority of strengthening itself first in Flanders, where it opened an office in Leuven in 2024, and in France. These ambitious objectives aim to attract more qualified professionals to its platform and to meet the ever-increasing demand for property renovations. At the same time, Trustup is committed to supporting these professionals in their digital transition thanks to software designed to adapt perfectly to their needs and the realities on the ground. “Trustup, which is experiencing real growth, is a mature solution led by an experienced team that provides an innovative solution combined with a unique customer experience that allows it to stand out from its competitors on the Belgian and international market. This is a strategic investment for the Rise PropTech Fund in the market segment of smaller companies in the construction sector.” says Jérôme Constant, Partner at Rise PropTech Fund. “Our fund invests primarily in the United States in innovative solutions for the construction sector, among others. We have identified Trustup as a potential leader in its field.

Europe remains highly dependent on import of fossil natural gas. Combustion of fossil fuels must be phased out due to the need to decarbonize energy systems, reduce exposure to energy price volatilities, and to ensure stability in supply. The European heat pump market is on a stable, strong and long-term growth trajectory. In 2023, Europe had approximately 24 million heat pumps installed and annual sales of around 3 million heat pumps (according to data from the European Heat Pump Association). To achieve the European Commission’s target of having 60 million heat pumps installed by 2030, strong commitment is required. Consequently, European nations have teamed up to implement bans on gas boiler installations. With the upcoming 2025 EU Clean Industrial Deal, additional bans as well as incentives are expected to accelerate the clean energy transition across Europe. Qvantum is a leader in the development of next generation heat pump solutions and grid services for multifamily buildings and grid systems for cities. Heat Pump to Grid functionality (HP2G) provides services to and helps stabilize the electric grid in its transition towards a zero-carbon energy production. Qvantum has developed a new modular heat pump platform designed for cost efficient mass production. Qvantum heat pumps are modular and designed to make the heat pump an integrated part of a local energy system. The Qvantum software suite encompasses all parts of the value chain, from advanced solution design and operations monitoring, to support and predictive maintenance. The platform, in combination with the software suite, enable the expansion of heat pumps to densely populated urban areas and cities across Europe. Qvantum’s factory in Åstorp, Sweden, started production early 2024 and has significantly ramped up its capacity, with a target of 50 000 heat pumps per year. In 2024, the first products based on the new product platform were successfully launched on the Swedish market and in 2025, the full product portfolio will be launched across European markets. “Our expansion strategy has positioned us uniquely in the European market. We have a bold vision to become one of the leading industrial actors in the heat pump sector in Europe. With the heat pump market poised for long-term growth, our innovative high-tech solutions can play a vital role in decarbonizing Europe. We empower people in urban areas to achieve fossil fuel independence by providing easy access to carbon-neutral heating. This not only helps mitigate the impact of rising energy prices but also accelerates the clean energy transition. With this new capital, Qvantum is entering its next phase of expansion, and we are grateful for the continued strong support from our long-term investors”, says Fredrik Rosenqvist, Qvantum CEO The lead investors include Thomas von Koch (Partner and ex CEO of global private equity firm EQT) investing through his private company, IMAS Foundation (a sister foundation to the INGKA Foundation, owner of INGKA Group operating most IKEA stores globally). ”Fredrik and his team have achieved remarkable growth, driven by innovative product and systems development, alongside strategic acquisitions that have significantly strengthened the company’s position. We remain strong believers in Qvantum and supporting them on their continued journey was a natural choice for us. Qvantum exemplifies the power of skilled people and teams, combined with products that drives positive impact and meaningful environmental change”, says Thomas von Koch. “Qvantum felt like a hidden gem to me at first, and the deeper I get involved, the more impressed I become. Qvantum is on track of becoming both a true leader in transforming the heat pump industry and a significant contributor to a cleaner Europe. I look forward to working closely with both the Board of Directors and the management team to help drive the company to the next level”, concludes Mats Rahmström, Qvantum Board Member. Munters, the global leader in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions, also participated the Series C financing round and has a co-operation agreement with Qvantum. Other Series C investors are SEB Greentech, DIG Investment (connected to the H&M Persson family), NEA Partners and Climentum Capital. Mats Rahmström, fmr CEO of Atlas Copco, is also investing and has joined Qvantum Board of Directors.

The funding, a mix of equity and debt, will propel uHoo’s growth, particularly in the B2B sector and facilitate the development of new hardware and software products. Wavemaker Ventures and Menarco Development Corporation led the funding round, which was participated in by Undivided Ventures, Raymond Rufino, Lighthouse Canton, and existing shareholders. This investment comes as organisations globally increasingly focus on sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The demand for healthier, greener buildings is rising as businesses recognise the direct impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) on employees’ health, productivity, and well-being. uHoo’s flagship product, the uHoo Aura, is a comprehensive IEQ solution that monitors at least 13 parameters, with the ability to upgrade to 16. It provides real-time data on critical environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, air quality, noise levels, chemical pollutants, and various particle sizes. These insights help building owners, managers, and tenants create more comfortable and healthier indoor environments while improving building performance. The system seamlessly integrates with existing building systems, allowing for automated controls of air conditioning, ventilation, and heating, which enhances occupant health and saves energy. uHoo’s diverse clientele includes major property developers, multinational corporations in real estate, healthcare, finance, hospitality, and manufacturing, and government entities across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Capitaland and JLL are among its clients. According to Joel Ang, Principal at Wavemaker Ventures, uHoo’s approach to IEQ monitoring and management is comprehensive and can transform building operations. He noted that uHoo’s data and actionable insights enable customers to create healthier environments, enhancing their sustainability efforts. Carmen Jimenez Ong, founder of Menarco Development Corp, stated that uHoo has helped them identify previously unseen issues, such as ventilation problems in high-traffic areas. In 2020, uHoo raised an undisclosed amount in a funding round led by Wavemaker Partners with participation from Enterprise Singapore and PropertyGuru Group co-founder Steve Melhuish.

The investment round was led by HV Capital (which invested in NEURA Robotics and Upvest)and XAnge (which invested in Sirona Technologies and Gladia), with participation from existing VC investors including BitStone Capital, Übermorgen Ventures, kopa ventures, Vireo Ventures, and Brandenburg Kapital. **European expansion plans** With the new funding, Green Fusion is focusing on scaling and expansion. The capital will be directly invested in installation, sales, product development, and customer support to take the company’s growth to the next level. It is also dedicating a separate unit to the smart control of renewable energy systems. By 2025, the company aims to equip 3,000 apartment buildings with its software, representing 300% growth. Additionally, Green Fusion will expand its presence beyond Austria and Italy to France and the Benelux countries through pilot projects, paving the way for European expansion. **AI-powered heating optimisation** The German government is pursuing the ambitious goal of climate neutrality by 2045, while CO2 prices continue to rise. These political directives put significant pressure on the housing industry. While comprehensive building renovations require enormous investments, minimally invasive energy consumption optimisation is the only immediate step to significantly reduce heating costs and CO2 emissions. Founded by Paul Hock, Simon Wagenknecht, and Nina Germanus in 2021 in Berlin, Green Fusion aims to accelerate the heating transition in the housing industry. Using a software solution that monitors heating systems in real-time, the company identifies immediate savings potential and leverages AI to significantly reduce heating costs and CO2 emissions. On average, 16% of heating costs are saved. For a housing company with 100 systems, this translates to annual savings of over €233,000 after deducting installation and software costs. **Client base** Prominent housing companies and cooperatives such as Gewobag, Rheinwohnungsbau, and Spar-und Bauverein Dortmund already rely on Green Fusion. Overall, the company serves 100 customers managing more than 800,000 rented apartments. “Almost no heating system in Germany operates optimally, with 80% still in their original factory settings. Costs and CO2 are being wasted, although small measures could have a significant impact. With our solution, we can make heating systems more efficient from day one and prepare them for the transition to heat pumps,” stated Paul Hock, founder and CEO of Green Fusion. Axel Gedaschko, President of the association, stated: “Optimising energy consumption is an important first step toward climate goals – even before installing heat pumps, switching to district heating, or implementing other energy-saving measures. Only by taking cost-effective, smart approaches can German housing companies continue to offer affordable housing in the long term.” **Investors’ views** “The combination of artificial intelligence, real-time data analysis, and clear customer benefits has made Green Fusion a market leader in no time. We are confident that this company will set the international standard for heating monitoring and optimisation. We see the perfect balance between economic scalability and sustainable impact here. Green Fusion has the ability to decisively drive the heating transition in Europe,” stated Valerie Bures, Managing Director & Partner at XAnge. “Green Fusion is the game-changer the industry needs to meet the decarbonization challenges of the heating sector. We believe the company has the potential to become the market leader not only in Germany,” said David Kuczek, General Partner at HV Capital.

[Landsec](https://landsec.com/), a leader in commercial property, understands this shift. Their latest innovation, the Landsec Experience App, redefines what it means to work in one of their London properties. Developed in partnership with [Smart Spaces](https://www.smartspaces.app/) and powered by [HID Global](https://www.hidglobal.com/), the app offers tenants a smarter, more seamless experience. It’s not just about technology; it’s about making workspaces intuitive and empowering. **A solution for modern problems** For years, tenants struggled with fragmented systems – managing multiple access cards, dealing with outdated communication tools, and juggling different apps for each building. Landsec recognised the opportunity to simplify and innovate. Partnering with Smart Spaces, they set out to create a single platform that would unify their entire London portfolio, all while keeping design human-focused and easy to use. As Oliver Knight, Head of Workplace at Landsec, explains: “Partnering with Smart Spaces, we are delivering a seamless digital experience for all our customers and their employees.” This vision has come to life in a solution that combines innovation with intuitive usability. **A single platform for seamless management** Rather than relying on multiple apps for each building, Landsec has streamlined operations with one app for its entire London portfolio. All content and building updates are now managed centrally, making it easy to send information to specific buildings or across the entire portfolio. It’s a simple, efficient solution that ensures tenants stay up to date, whether the information is building-specific or for the wider Landsec community. Onboarding new users is quick and straightforward, with everything accessible in one place. For building managers, the app reduces the complexity of managing different systems, making daily workflows more efficient. With one unified platform, both tenants and managers benefit from a more streamlined, user-friendly experience. **How the app transforms experiences** The Landsec Experience App is much more than just an access tool – it’s a gateway to a smarter, more connected workday. With HID technology, tenants can access any building in the Landsec portfolio using their smartphone or smartwatch, ensuring secure, personalised entry to authorised spaces. This integration provides seamless access while keeping everything simple through one unified platform. But the app goes beyond just access – it fosters a sense of community and connection. Acting as a central hub, it delivers updates, enables participation in building events, and lets tenants personalise their workspace. Booking desks, reserving meeting spaces, or discovering the latest wellness sessions becomes intuitive, turning everyday tasks into effortless experiences. User engagement is a top priority for Landsec, and the app plays a key role in creating a vibrant, interactive community. The team offers a range of exciting events, from lunchtime yoga sessions to live sports screenings, with tenants able to easily book their spots through the app. This focus on engagement helps foster a sense of community and well-being, enhancing the overall tenant experience. The app also keeps users in the loop with the latest announcements, from free coffee at the café to pop-up stalls and key health and safety updates. Push notifications ensure tenants never miss important updates, and the app includes offers and discounts in the local area, which is a key part of Landsec’s strategy to support tenants and the surrounding community. **The human touch** More than the technology, what makes the app transformative is its impact on the people who use it. Imagine skipping queues with touchless entry on a busy morning, finding the perfect desk in seconds, or effortlessly staying updated on community events. Oliver Knight sums it up: “In a world where everyone’s fighting to encourage employees back to the office, giving them an extra reason to come is no bad thing.” By simplifying access and enhancing usability, the app becomes an invaluable tool in creating a better workday. **A new benchmark** Since its launch, the app has set a new standard for commercial property. For tenants, it simplifies everyday tasks and makes the workplace more enjoyable. For building managers, it centralises operations, making everything more efficient – from bookings to energy management. And for Landsec, it reinforces their commitment to sustainability and innovation. By integrating with wider offerings, such as Landsec’s Myo flexible workspace, these features don’t just simplify operations; they elevate the overall user experience. Knight highlights: “We’re really keen to work with someone who’s got experience but also has the right level of functionality to meet our customer needs. Access control is the key part of that, but also integrating the wider offerings around amenity retail and interfacing with other APIs, such as our Myo flex workspace.” **Looking ahead** The Landsec Experience App isn’t just a technological achievement – it’s a bold reimagining of what workplaces can be. By combining innovation with a true understanding of people’s needs, Landsec has created something truly special: workspaces where people don’t just work but thrive. This isn’t just a solution – it’s a vision for the future of work, where technology and human connection drive the next generation of workspaces. ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

This strategic move underscores Zencity’s continued growth and momentum as a market leader, and solidifies its commitment to the UK market. Commonplace has developed a reputation over 11 years in business as the gold standard software for place-based engagement in the UK. Their customers include the City of London, Westminster Council, Leeds City Council, Camden Council and the Mayor of London. The company’s technology has powered engagement with over 10 million community members on behalf of more than 3,500 individual projects across the UK. Commonplace is particularly recognized as a unique market leader in zoning and planning, and its industry-leading map-based features and subscriber management will be widely adopted into the Zencity platform. With this acquisition, Zencity is able to offer its customers in the UK – which include central government agencies, police forces, local councils and developers – an even higher level of service and responsiveness through its new office in central London. Zencity’s UK team brings deep experience in serving government customers in the region, ensuring stability and an improved customer experience for customers present and future. “We are thrilled to welcome Commonplace into the Zencity team,” said Eyal Feder-Levy, CEO and Co-founder of Zencity. “This acquisition not only allows us to expand our presence in the UK market but also gives every Zencity customer access to unique capabilities in zoning and planning. We are excited to work together to continue setting the standard for community engagement globally.” Commonplace’s customers will continue to receive the same high-quality services they have come to expect from their trusted partner, and will also gain access to new enhanced capabilities such as gold-standard representative surveys, sophisticated social media monitoring and analytics, post-interaction satisfaction surveys, and award-winning advanced AI capabilities. “The joining of forces between Zencity and Commonplace is a win-win for our customers,” said Mike Saunders, CEO of Commonplace. “Not only will they continue receiving exceptional service, but they will also have access to new and enhanced capabilities that come with being a part of a larger company,” Saunders continued. Zencity’s mission is to become the global standard for community engagement, and this acquisition is a clear step towards that goal. Together, Zencity and Commonplace will help over 400 governments and agencies around the world engage with their communities efficiently and effectively. The combined company serves cities, counties and agencies in 45 US states, 6 countries, and covers a global footprint of over 200 million people.

The funding marks a major step in the company’ mission to simplify short-term rental management across Europe, while maximising returns for hosts and guests. According to Huswell, the revenue-based financing will go towards accelerating the expansion of its product offerings, platform development, strengthening its market position, enabling European growth and exploring strategic acquisition or partner opportunities. Jean-Paul Godfroy, founder and CEO of Huswell, said: “Huswell is built on a foundation of innovation, customer-centricity, and growth. While we have achieved incredible milestones, we see an opportunity to accelerate even further. “The investment and experience in scaling software companies from Capital Mills arrives at the perfect time, equipping us with the resources and expertise needed to scale and prepare Huswell for new heights. I look forward to collaborating closely with Gijs and his team,” he added. Gijs den Hartog, partner at Capital Mills, said: “Meeting exceptional founders like Jean-Paul Godfroy is one of the perks of working in the investment industry. In Huswell, we have found an innovative and promising company in the short-term rental space – a huge and burgeoning market that we believe will reward seamless end-to-end solutions with fantastic user experience. “We are proud that Capital Mills will be partnering with Jean-Paul and his team for the journey ahead,” added den Hartog. Founded in 2019, Huswell supports vacation rental, second home and hotel owners with the daily management and optimisation of their property/ies. The business takes care of the end-to-end property management process, from the check-in to checking out of guests to 24/7 communication, cleaning after departure, property maintenance and repairs, as well as developing a guest portal to provide all the information about the reservation and property. To date, Huswell has processed more than 40,000 reservations and generated over €50 million in booking revenue. In 2023, the proptech company purchased luxury villa booking platform Grandes Villas de France, and it will now be seeking to make more acquisitions to grow its European footprint as a result of the new financing.

When Morgan Sindall subsidiary Overbury was awarded the contract for the work in 2021, Barbour ABI put the contract value at £300m. When work finally started on site in July 2023 it was expected to be completed in 2025. Completion is now expected sometime next year. The 200-metre high tower block, designed by César Pelli & Associates, was only built 23 years ago and is already deemed an anachronism for the 9,000 employees expected to work within it. Citi even considered knocking it down and starting again but decided that refurbishment was the more ecological option. Believed to currently be the largest active commercial retrofit project in Europe, the scheme has been designed by WilkinsonEyre with support from engineer Buro Happold and cost consultant Turner & Townsend. Buro Happold describes the scope of the project on its website: “Existing slabs will be partially removed to allow double and triple height internal atria and winter garden spaces. ‘Villages’ will be created, where teams can work together, encouraging comfortable and engaging collaboration. “New large format facades will include operable glazed elements to allow for natural ventilation and complement the new spaces. The retrofit will advertise and exemplify modern working styles and respond through the tower’s eye-catching facades, giving both an externally-facing message that the organisation is ahead of the curve, but also an internal message, with internal facades reflecting and showcasing changing attitudes towards working environments for Citi’s own teams.” [Source](https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/citi-tower-refurb-costs-reach-1bn#google_vignette) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The investment will go towards further accelerating Capra Robotics’ growth trajectory fueling both growth and global expansion. “The investment depicts a strong group of investors’ confidence in our vision and the scale of opportunities ahead,” said Niels Jul Jacobsen, CEO of Capra Robotics. “Having investors from both the U.S. and Europe not only strengthens our ability to scale rapidly, but also provides invaluable insights and networks that will help us expand into new markets and better serve our customers and partners across the globe.” Since it launched its initial product in 2023, Capra said it has been gaining momentum with its material handling system that bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor logistics operations. Its customers include Lockheed Martin, Robert Bosch, ZF Friedrichshafen, the U.S. Air Force, and Deutsche Telekom. Utilizing its momentum, the Viby, Denmark-based company said it will continue to drive growth by establishing top-tier partnerships with distributors and system integrators. **Capra promises to tackle many tasks with one robot** Amid historically low unemployment rates, rising labor costs, and an aging population, Capra said companies must move away from heavy reliance on manual processes to remain competitive, scale their operations, and conform with existing process standards. This requires innovative robotics solutions capable of handling a wide range of tasks – including those in emerging domains. Capra said its versatile kinematics, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, set it apart from other autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developers. The company added that its patented wheel frame enables it to solve automation needs across several industries. In particular, Capra is targeting logistics, inspection, and maintenance. In logistics, the company said it can bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor logistics. This enables businesses to efficiently improve their material flow across entire facilities, supporting further advancements in production operations. In inspection, the company is addressing critical challenges in perimeter control and substation inspection, providing robust systems for industries striving for optimal security and operational excellence. Finally, in maintenance, Capra said it offers smart robots to help industries reduce emissions, minimize waste, and create safer working environments. **Investment leading to global, market expansion** Capra said the investment will give way to faster entry into new geographical markets and boost its workforce within sales, service, and support, predominantly in Europe and North America. The round features global backers with experienced Supernova Invest and Promus Ventures as leads, as well as Summiteer and EIFO – Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund as followers. “At Supernova Invest, we are confident that Capra’s solution will accelerate the global adoption of autonomous mobile robots,” said Claude-Sébastien Lerbourg, investment director at Supernova Invest. “Its ease of implementation and competitive edge position Capra to unlock a wide range of new applications, addressing critical labor shortages and delivering significant productivity gains across industries,” he said. “Niels’ outstanding expertise and proven success in mobile robotics is invaluable, we are excited to support this new venture and contribute to its future success.” In August 2024, Capra Robotics announced the formation of its new subsidiary, Custos Robotics ApS. The company said it established Custos to explore new business ventures within the security and defense industries. Custos will specialize in non-offensive applications based on Capra Robotics’ mobile robots.

While the valuation is notably lower than Divvy’s last publicly reported valuation of $2.3 billion in 2021, the deal reflects a broader trend shaping the real estate technology landscape: increased mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity. **Market Inflection For Divvy Homes** Divvy Homes, founded in 2016, gained traction for its innovative rent-to-own model, helping renters transition to homeownership by purchasing homes on their behalf and leasing them back for three years while they built savings. The company raised over $700 million in debt and equity from investors like Tiger Global, a16z, and GGV Capital, achieving rapid growth and a prominent place in the proptech sector. However, Divvy faced significant challenges as interest rates began to rise in 2022, creating hurdles for its business model and forcing three rounds of layoffs within a year. These challenges reflect broader struggles across real estate tech, where companies reliant on favorable market conditions found themselves vulnerable during economic shifts. Brookfield’s acquisition marks the next chapter for Divvy, bringing its operations under the umbrella of Maymont Homes, a Brookfield unit operating in over 40 U.S. markets. Despite its struggles, Divvy helped create 2,000 homeowners, a testament to its mission’s impact. **Consolidation: A Defining Trend for 2025** The acquisition of Divvy Homes highlights a key theme for 2025: M&A as a strategic imperative for survival and growth. As market conditions remain challenging, even well-funded startups are opting for exits to larger, resource-rich companies rather than continuing to navigate volatile markets independently. This consolidation wave is being driven by several factors: 1. Market Uncertainty: Rising interest rates and slowing real estate transactions have made growth harder to achieve organically, prompting startups to seek partnerships or acquisitions. 2. Pressure on Valuations: Many proptech firms are accepting lower valuations, as seen in Divvy’s case, to ensure long-term sustainability under larger entities. 3. Strategic Expansion by Giants: For companies like Brookfield, acquiring innovative startups like Divvy allows them to expand their service offerings and gain an edge in a competitive real estate market. Divvy’s acquisition is not an isolated case. In recent months, we’ve seen notable deals such as Procore’s acquisition of LienWaivers.io and Zillow’s partnership with ShowingTime, signaling that major players are increasingly turning to M&A as a strategy to integrate advanced solutions into their portfolios. **What Does This Mean for Proptech?** For venture investors, this trend highlights the need to back companies with defensible business models and clear paths to profitability, even in turbulent markets. For startups, consolidation offers a viable path to continue delivering value, albeit at the cost of independence. As 2025 unfolds, expect to see more strategic acquisitions across proptech and real estate tech as the industry adapts to a new normal. Brookfield’s acquisition of Divvy Homes is just the beginning of a year poised for consolidation—and transformation.

The German company will use the funds to accelerate its growth and expansion, across Germany. “There are more than €29T worth of apartments in Germany, yet the average experience of an owner or tenant is underwhelming. Solving a problem of that scale drives our team to excellence every day. Today’s technology will enable us to transform the way real estate is managed and dramatically improve the lives of millions of people, ” says Jona Schaeffer, founder and CEO of Hallo Theo in a LinkedIn post. Previously, the company secured €1.5M from notable business angels such as Dustin Figge (Homelike) and Patrick Henning (Luca). **Hallo Theo: Digitising property management** Jona Schaeffer (who sold his hospitality tech startup Charly) founded Hallo Theo in 2023 after experiencing inefficiencies in property management (piles of paperwork, fragmented communication, and outdated processes) in his Berlin rental apartment. “Everything was inefficient, cumbersome, and outdated in many ways,” says Schaeffer in an interview with Business Insider. Consequently, he has come up with a solution that automates commercial processes and improves communication between owners, tenants, and administrators. Hallo Theo’s business model, inspired by solar provider Enpal, goes beyond software. It acquires entire property management firms, integrating them into its digital platform within weeks. We buy the companies, integrate them into our platform, and make them completely digital in a few weeks,” says Schaeffer. Additionally, the company claims that its AI-driven system reduces administrative costs and speeds up processes, improving overall efficiency. Richard Matus, Principal at Insight Partners, remarked: “We were impressed by what Jona and the hallo theo team have accomplished over a short period of time, and their commitment to a larger vision. With their application of technology and AI to a large market in desperate need of innovation, hallo theo is poised to solve a problem that impacts the lives of millions, if not billions, of people in the world.” With offices in Berlin, Hamburg, and Frankfurt, the company aims to expand across Germany by 2025. At present, the company now manages over 9,000 apartments and grows by more than 30 per cent every month. **About hallo theo** [hallo theo](https://www.hallotheo.de/en/home-en/) is a Berlin-based tech-startup in property management.

The investments offer a rare glimpse into a secretive family that’s parlayed a marine services company started half a century ago in Asia into a global oil and gas producer. It specializes in buying marginal or mature fields from major oil companies and then working to boost their profitability. The firm is controlled by an offshore holding company in the Bahamas. Chairman Francois Perrodo, 47, is the eldest son of Hubert and an avid race car driver. The clan, with a net worth of more than $8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, includes his mother Ka Yee Wong Perrodo, 73, known as Carrie, and siblings Nathalie Samani, 42 and Bertrand Perrodo, 40. The three heirs are allocating capital partly through their London-based family office BNF Capital, a private equity firm called Perwyn Advisors and property developer Kronos, based in Luxembourg and co-founded a decade ago by Bertrand. A spokesman for Perenco declined to comment. Perenco has stuck to its historic focus on fossil fuel production, expanding into areas like natural gas and exploration. In contrast, the second-generation Perrodos have in recent years used proceeds from the business to branch out into an array of sectors, adding to forays into battery metals, uranium and vineyards. BNF Capital last year invested in BC Brands, which brought together the Bandier and Carbon38 labels of workout and casual clothes. It’s also stepped up investments in real estate, including the building in New York’s SoHo district and a £37-million ($46 million) office development in Bristol, southwest England. BNF’s investment partners include London property specialist Morgan Capital, venture capital firm Felix Capital, Airbnb property manager City Relay, food technology investor Bloom8 and Kronos Investment Group, which Betrand started along with Said Hejal to focus on property in Spain and Portugal. Kronos Homes has developed residences in vacation hotspots like Andalusia and the Algarve, as well as a high-rise in Valencia. Recent Perwyn investments include Rubel & Menasche, a high-end Parisian specialist in small-sized gems for jewelry and watches, Crosta & Mollica, which distributes pizza and ice cream in the UK, and insurance distributor Atec, according to its website. Perwyn has backed about 20 European and UK companies including the European Sperm Bank, Vixio, a regulatory specialist for the gambling and payments industries, and online travel agent Cruiseline. Last year it also opened a new office in Milan, the third after London and Paris. Perwyn’s private equity arm typically invests in businesses with an enterprise value of between £100 million and £500 million, taking an “active role” in situations like buyouts or spin-offs where it would be the first or second outside investor, according to its website. One investment in the Perwyn portfolio, Isla Delice, is expanding through an acquisition in Germany, according to a press release Monday. Perenco UK, which represents only a small part of the oil company, has paid higher dividends in recent years compared with what the closely held company has previously reported. For 2022 and 2023 results, the unit’s payouts reached £734 million, according to filings. A £100 million payout in 2019 was the only other payment in financial reports going back to 2014.

The new venture is led by Hong Kong native Samson Law, who brings more than three decades of local real estate experience in sales, management and technology to his role. His background includes founding several boutique real estate firms, including online property search pioneer HongKongHomes.com. Law will manage a team of 10 agents based in Hong Kong’s Admiralty district. The brokerage plans to double its agent count within the year. “Since Hong Kong is one of the world’s most significant financial centers, naturally we work with many high-net-worth buyers and investors from around the world. For this reason, it was incredibly important for us to align with an internationally respected brand, and I can’t think of a name more synonymous with luxury and exceptional client service than Christie’s International Real Estate,” said Law. As Hong Kong real estate listings are not publicly shared, brokerages rely on private client databases. Law says his database, assembled over two decades, is one of Hong Kong’s most comprehensive and accurate – an important point of differentiation for the new firm. “Samson is not only a talented leader, but he has also built incredible relationships in Hong Kong’s real estate market, as evidenced by his extensive proprietary database that surpasses most every other firm in the market,” says Helena Moyas de Forton, managing director of EMEA and APAC for Christie’s International Real Estate. “His access to listings, combined with our international network of the world’s most sought-after homes, will provide clients in Hong Kong with exclusive access to luxury properties both ‘in market’ and around the world.” As an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, the firm’s agents and clients will benefit from national and international exposure and referral opportunities through the brand’s global luxury network, which has affiliates in 50 countries and territories. Clients will also enjoy exclusive marketing partnerships with Christie’s, the world-leading art and luxury business. Hong Kong is the hub of operations for Christie’s in Asia Pacific, a region which accounted for US$725 million in auction sales in 2024 – 26% of the auction house’s worldwide total. Christie’s International Real Estate Hong Kong will work closely with Christie’s to leverage the unique synergies between the worlds of art, luxury goods and high-end real estate for clients in the region. Law is cautiously optimistic for 2025 with a bullish outlook long term. “Continuous economic expansion in mainland China is likely to positively influence market dynamics in Hong Kong, and any decline in interest rates will trigger a surge in activity,” he explains. “Hong Kong is known to bounce back very quickly. There are a lot of external players and a lot of hot money flowing in and out. When it comes in, it will be phenomenal,” he said. A new affiliate in Hong Kong continues Christie’s International Real Estate’s expansion in Asia, following the 2024 announcements of new offices in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In early 2025, Christie’s International Real Estate was acquired by Compass (NYSE: COMP), the largest residential brokerage firm in the US by sales volume. Compass’ network of more than 30,000 US real estate agents offers another potentially rich referral pipeline for Christie’s International Real Estate Hong Kong. **About Christie’s International Real Estate** Christie’s International Real Estate has successfully marketed high-value real estate around the world for more than 30 years. Through its invitation-only Affiliate network spanning nearly 50 countries and territories, Christie’s International Real Estate offers incomparable services to a global clientele at the luxury end of the residential property market. Christie’s International Real Estate operates as a distinct luxury brand under the ownership of Compass (NYSE: COMP), the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Founded in 2012 and based in New York City, Compass provides an end-to-end platform that empowers residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients.

Fifth Wall Securities will focus on delivering high-quality Advisory services to its clients from Mergers & Acquisitions to Capital Raising, such as Private Placements, PropCo Financing and Capital Markets Advisory. Most recently, Fifth Wall Securities served as an advisor to Industrious, a Fifth Wall portfolio company and a leading provider of flexible workplace solutions, in its definitive agreement to be acquired by CBRE announced on January 14th, 2025. “The launch of Fifth Wall Securities marks a defining moment in our continued evolution, further solidifying our leadership at the nexus of real estate and technology,” said Brendan Wallace, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Fifth Wall. “From day one, Fifth Wall has been more than just a monoline VC fund and our growing advisory business has allowed us to attract, retain, and reward exceptional investment talent. Our model is predicated on trusted relationships with our LPs and portfolio companies, and this new capability strengthens our ability to drive even greater value to our stakeholders in ways that we previously could not.” Fifth Wall has a long history of accelerating the growth of its 150+ portfolio companies through highly strategic engagements with its 110+ strategic LPs. Since the Firm’s inception in 2016, it has helped to raise $670M+ of strategic capital across its portfolio and formed 36 SPVs for its portfolio companies. Fifth Wall has worked across its portfolio and LPs to help form strategic partnerships, such as the Opendoor-Lennar partnership, CBRE-VTS investment, and Lessen-SMS Assist merger. Fifth Wall has been involved in advising successful businesses with its LPs like Pathway Homes with Invitation Homes. Fifth Wall affiliates have successfully sponsored and executed two SPACs, Fifth Wall portfolio company SmartRent’s merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I and Mobile Infrastructure Corporation’s merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III. In addition to his role as Co-President of Fifth Wall, Jeremy Fox will serve as CEO of Fifth Wall Securities. The career investment banker and established advisor to the global real estate industry joined Fifth Wall’s leadership in 2021 from Credit Suisse, where he served as Co-Head of North American Real Estate, Gaming, and Lodging Investment Banking. Fox previously spent two decades with Deutsche Bank, recently serving as Head of U.S. Equity Capital Markets. Fifth Wall also welcomed seasoned investment banker Ofer Harduf as a Partner in 2021. He joined the Firm after nearly 10 years at J.P. Morgan, where he was an Executive Director and Co-Head of PropTech in the Real Estate, Gaming, and Lodging Investment Banking group. “Over the course of the past four years, we have built a team of senior leaders with significant experience executing advisory and capital markets transactions,” stated Fox. “We believe that our unique vantage point, combined with our decades of experience uniquely positions us to deliver strategic, high-impact solutions that can drive real value for our clients. Fifth Wall will also tap into the expertise and extensive industry relationships of its Senior Advisors, Mary Hogan Preusse and Devin Murphy. Hogan Preusse, with over 30 years of real estate experience, serves as Chairman of the Board of Digital Realty and on the boards of three other public companies, Kimco Realty Corporation, Host Hotels and Resorts, and Realty Income. Prior to her current work as a board director and advisor, she served as Managing Director and Head of Americas Listed Real Estate at APG Asset Management US (APG). Murphy, who just last week was appointed to the board of Macerich—one of Fifth Wall’s largest LPs—brings nearly 40 years of experience as a real estate banker and REIT executive. His distinguished career includes leadership roles at Phillips Edison & Company (PECO), Morgan Stanley, and Deutsche Bank. He also currently sits on the boards of CoreCivic and PECO. “Fifth Wall has been an invaluable partner to us since their initial investment in Industrious in 2018,” said Jamie Hodari, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Industrious. “They have consistently gone above and beyond, using their resources, expertise, and strategic network to create opportunities and unlock growth at each stage of our journey. Their guidance has been key in getting us an outstanding acquisition completed with the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, CBRE.” **About Fifth Wall** Founded in 2016, Fifth Wall is a fully-integrated investment firm and merchant bank at the intersection of real estate and technology. Fifth Wall’s clients include 110+ strategic Limited Partners from 20+ countries, including BNP Paribas Real Estate, British Land, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Hilton, Hines, Host Hotels & Resorts, Kimco, Lennar, Marriott, MetLife Investment Management, MGM, Related, Toll Brothers, Starwood, and others.

[ECE Marketplaces](https://www.ece.com/de) is Europe’s leading service provider for the management of shopping centres. As part of the ECE Group, which operates in the real estate and investment sectors, it brings extensive expertise and 60 years of experience in the professional operation, marketing, and ongoing development of shopping centres into vibrant marketplaces and attractive urban districts. Across Europe, ECE Marketplaces manages around 130 shopping centres with approximately 20,000 shops, covering a retail space of roughly 7 million m², as well as around 130 associated car parks. Alasco is an integrated financial management and sustainability solution for real estate, seamlessly integrating financial management and ESG criteria to protect exit liquidity across assets and portfolios. Its platform covers financial controlling, including CapEx management, and a powerful ESG data management and optimisation solution. The new partnership follows ECE’s strategy to make its entire shopping centre portfolio climate-neutral by 2045. By 2030, CO₂ emissions are to be reduced by 40% compared to 2019 levels. With this ambitious goal, ECE is setting new standards in sustainability management and positioning itself as a pioneer in future-proof real estate development. “ESG is essential to our future operations. Within the framework of our sustainability strategy, we have developed standards and concrete solutions that will help make the properties we manage fit for the future and contribute to meeting European climate targets. Partnering with Alasco helps us progress on our sustainability journey. Alasco stood out due to their ability to provide not just a powerful technical solution, but also the integrity, trust, and reliability we sought in a partner”, stated Maria Hill, Director Sustainability & Corporate Communications, ECE Group Services. ECE chose Alasco due to its technical expertise, collaborative product development, and strong customer focus. Another decisive factor was the new Data Copilot module, which enables efficient collection and standardisation of ESG data for reports such as the CSRD through smart workflows. With Alasco, ECE is implementing a scalable ESG management solution that allows for automated real-time reporting. These reports not only meet the growing demands of investors for transparency and traceability but also ensure compliance with complex ESG regulations. At the same time, the solution significantly reduces manual effort and minimises risks in data validation and reporting. The partnership between ECE and Alasco reflects a shared commitment to innovation, integrity, and driving value for stakeholders. ECE’s adoption of Alasco demonstrates the transformative potential of centralized ESG solutions in the real estate sector. “We are proud to support ECE Marketplaces in achieving their ESG goals and look forward to a long-lasting partnership. Right now, CSRD reporting is upon us and I am proud to say our Data Copilot module is designed specifically for quick, disclosure-ready data collection. Beyond that, this partnership is a step forward for fulfilling our vision – embedding sustainability criteria into the financial performance of large real estate companies and helping them manage their CapEx investments, so that the protection of the environment becomes a reality”, said Benjamin Günther, CEO and co-founder at Alasco. **About Alasco** Alasco is the only integrated financial management and sustainability solution for real estate, seamlessly embedding ESG management to protect exit liquidity and increase assets under management (AUM).

GRYD has developed a UK-first subscription model that allows developers and homeowners to install solar without ever paying for the hardware. The high upfront cost of solar hardware is a fundamental barrier that has prevented millions of households from adopting the technology. It is estimated that 8.5 million UK homeowners have roofs well suited to solar but can’t afford the upfront expense. GRYD funds and maintains a home’s solar hardware for the 25-year life of the system, saving developers up to £10,000 in hardware costs per home and enabling homeowners to reap the bill-saving benefits of solar from day one. A GRYD subscription averages about £65 per month for a four-bed home. The monthly price is fixed and includes maintenance and insurance for the 25-year life of the system. The business has already launched a successful three-home pilot project in Cornwall, which is serving as a testbed for its software. It has signed an energy export deal with renewable energy supplier Good Energy, securing an important revenue stream for the business. With several projects already commercially committed, GRYD is set to deploy to hundreds of homes nationwide in 2025; positioning themselves to scale their service to 30,000 new-build homes over the next three years. Mohamed Gaafar, CEO and co-founder of GRYD, said: “With around 250,000 new homes being built in the UK each year, the untapped solar potential of our residential rooftops is immense and only continues to grow — as does the pressing need to ensure that Britain’s new housing stock is futureproofed and primed for a clean, energy-efficient future.” The business is currently focused on new homes and will consider expansion to the retrofit market as it continues to scale. Investors in the Pre-Seed round include Black Seed VC, an early-stage venture firm dedicated to Black business founders in the UK, and SFC Capital, and Oasthouse Ventures — whose Director, Simon Turner, has financed and scaled numerous renewable infrastructure businesses globally and has joined GRYD’s board as Investor Director. Richard Thwaites, the founder and CEO of energy storage developer Penso Power (recently acquired by BW ESS), has also invested in the cpmpany. Karl Lokko, Founder & Managing Partner of Black Seed VC, said: “The GRYD Energy team’s vision for clean, accessible energy is matched by the experience, grit, and enthusiasm that’s impossible to ignore. We’re proud to stand alongside them as they turn ambition into impact.” GRYD plans to use the new funds to invest in a series of key hires, secure further energy import and export partnerships, and expand GRYD’s service to include flexibility services – increasing customer savings by charging and discharging stored energy based on dynamic price signals to support capacity in the grid.

Founded in 2023 by Nick Zumbühl, Nicolas Somogyi, and serial entrepreneur Anna Alex, Nala Earth empowers companies to assess their impact on nature, manage growing risks associated with nature loss and water scarcity, and navigate emerging regulatory requirements. According to The New Nature Economy Report (Davos, 2020), $44 trillion—over 50% of global GDP—depends on healthy ecosystems. Yet, decades of environmental degradation have put these systems at risk, threatening key resources for businesses like water for industry processes, pollination for crops, or biodiversity for medicine development. “Nature is fundamental to most businesses and must be considered in every decision, whether it’s about procurement, direct operations, or financing opportunities. With Nala Earth, we are building the intelligence platform necessary to make this possible.” explains Nick Zumbühl, CEO & Co-Founder of Nala Earth. “We are thrilled to have experienced investors on board who bring valuable expertise and strategic guidance, supporting our mission to drive impactful solutions in the fields of nature and biodiversity.” **Nature and Biodiversity: Rising to the Top of the Corporate Agenda** ‍The demand for biodiversity reporting is rapidly accelerating in the corporate world to manage nature-related risks actively and comply with regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Since 2024, large companies have been required to disclose their environmental impact, and by 2028, the CSRD will apply to over 50,000 businesses. Nala Earth streamlines this process, cutting reporting timelines from months to days and enabling companies to align with leading frameworks such as The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). “Enterprise Executives face growing regulatory pressures and risks tied to environmental impacts. Nala Earth stands out with its AI-driven platform and scientifically validated data, empowering businesses to integrate nature into decision-making. Backed by an exceptional team, we believe Nala Earth will define the future of nature and biodiversity management,” says Jan-Soeren Zinke, early-stage investor at IRIS. “We invested in Nala Earth because we believe in their potential to revolutionize how companies measure, manage, and report their impact on nature. Their technology not only ensures compliance with regulations like CSRD but also helps businesses understand financial risks linked to nature loss. Resilience and sustainability are at the core of our investment philosophy, making this partnership a perfect fit,” says Andreas Winter-Extra, Partner at KOMPAS VC. ‍Nature and biodiversity are becoming increasingly essential in corporate decision-making, driven by their growing impact on business operations and strategy. For example, EV automotive manufacturer Tesla faced shortages from declining groundwater in their factory in Brandenburg, risking $36 billion of potential revenue loss annually (BloombergNEF, 2023). Companies also grapple with transitional risks, such as integrating biodiversity metrics into credit risk assessments. **Delivering Measurable Impact for Industry Leaders** Over the past year, Nala Earth has proudly established partnerships with major European corporations, including industry leaders such as Volkswagen, BASF, and Continental. Through these key collaborations, Nala Earth now serves a total of 10 customers, representing over 3,000 hectares under active nature management. This reflects the growing demand for innovative solutions in the fields of nature and biodiversity. “We make it possible for businesses to go beyond compliance,” says Nicolas Somogyi, CPO & Co-Founder of Nala Earth. “Our platform enables companies to understand and mitigate their dependencies on nature, turning risks into opportunities.” Nala Earth plans to expand its platform’s capabilities to unlock new use cases to integrate nature and biodiversity into corporate decision-making. The latest funding round will accelerate Nala Earth’s product development through key hires in the Engineering and Design team, enabling the addition of new modules and features to its nature intelligence platform. **Contact:** Anna Alex, Co-Founder of Nala Earth: anna.alex@nala.earth **About Nala Earth:** Nala Earth is a pioneering Nature Tech company offering AI-driven software solutions that empower businesses to assess and manage their impacts on nature and biodiversity and manage the growing risks associated with nature loss.

And are you ready to build it? The current narrative around European tech is all doom and gloom. Europe is flailing. Venture is tough. The US is way ahead. Europe isn’t the place for builders. We don’t buy it. Yes, the next decade will look meaningfully different from the last. Everything is up for grabs as the world transitions to new technologies and advancements in AI. We need to act boldly and defy conventional expectations. Europe’s foundation is strong. We have 35,000 early-stage startups – more than any other region – and our tech workforce has grown 7x since 2015 (State of European Tech, 2024). We have all the right ingredients: world-class talent, research depth in critical technologies, and thriving tech hubs – but our culture of innovation must change. With new world leaders in power and strong mandates for the tech sector, it’s imperative that Europe takes charge of its own destiny in the global tech race. So here is our commitment to you: today we’re launching Cherry V to be part of the solution. We have raised: $500m in new funds to be the right kind of partner, so together we can make European tech a global force. The funds are split between our flagship Early Stage fund, and an opportunity fund to double down on the most promising portfolio companies at Series B and beyond. In short, we’re ready to fund the first trillion-dollar company in Europe. What does that mean for you? **CHAMPION GLOBAL AMBITION** We want to provide capital and support for founders in Europe with a daring vision to develop revolutionary technologies that will change the world for the better. Global impact is the benchmark. On the shoulders of big European success cases like Spotify, Supercell, Klarna, Revolut, and UiPath – we know what can be accomplished through grit, determination, and ambition. **STRENGTH THROUGH EXPERIENCE** All of Cherry’s investors are former operators with the knocks and know-how; having built the likes of Zalando, Spotify, and Uber, company building is in our DNA. Now we’re committed to sharing that knowledge and supporting you and pushing you to aim even higher in your own endeavours. Our network of the best founders in the world are equally committed to the cause of Cherry V: Ilkka from Supercell, Miki from Wolt, Jochen from Flix to name a few. We are proud to call them investors in Cherry, and grateful for all of our partners’ unwavering support for our vision. **LONG-TERM VISION** Transformative innovation on a global scale requires investors with eyes on the horizon, not the exit. Cherry V is a commitment to patience and persistence, enabling founders to create lasting value over time. Partnering with Cherry at the early stage significantly increases your chance of success: over 80% of our seed founders graduate to Series A. We’ve put in the work. With more than 130 companies backed, we’re proud to be the trusted, long-term partner for so many great companies building a better future. **AMBITION IS INFECTIOUS – ECOSYSTEMS CHANGE THE WORLD.** If Europe is to build on its first wave of success stories to create the next, on a bigger scale – we all need to play our part. We must foster collaboration between policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors to make Europe the best place in the world to build a tech company. Cherry is up for the challenge.

The collaboration aims to enhance research, development, and technological innovation, as well as ease of doing business in Dubai, and to contribute to the growth of emerging startups, small and medium and innovative enterprises in the sector. This partnership aligns with the objectives of the Dubai Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Grant Initiative, launched by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, in September 2024. Through one of the four priority sectors – Cognitive Cities – Dubai RDI will focus on Proptech, smart mobility, traffic management, and smart grids. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Executive Chairman of Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority, and Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of Dubai Land Department, at Dubai Silicon Oasis, the special economic zone for knowledge and innovation and a member of DIEZ. Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni said, “DIEZ is committed to providing a conducive environment for start-ups, SMEs and innovative projects in various emerging technology sectors. Dubai is a global destination for entrepreneurs and innovators with promising tech-focused ideas. “Through our collaboration with active entities to contribute to building a future-ready economy in Dubai, such as the partnership with Dubai Land Department, DIEZ aims to enhance the emirate’s global position in attracting technology entrepreneurs and SMEs and providing everything they need to support doubling the size of Dubai’s economy and making it one of the top three global cities by 2033, in line with the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.” Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita said, “Through this partnership with the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority, we are committed to providing a conducive environment that encourages the adoption of modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, in the real estate sector, while facilitating the establishment of companies and providing the necessary support to expand their business, aligning with the Real Estate Evolution Space ‘REES’ initiative we previously launched as part of our efforts to achieve the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), positioning the emirate as a key hub for innovation. We aim to enhance Dubai’s position as a leading destination for real estate innovation, in line with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, particularly by establishing a comprehensive ecosystem based on modern technology and advanced digital solutions.” The MoU stipulates several key areas of collaboration between DIEZ and DLD, including designing and implementing joint programmes, particularly in real estate technology, where they will together launch programmes that support the adoption of modern technologies within start-ups and encourage the use of the latest applications of artificial intelligence and real estate technology. The two parties will also prioritise start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises.

The venture capital business has put out a call for startups developing automated solutions across the entire data center design and build process. Y Combinator advises early-stage startups, providing funding, cloud credits, connections, and workshops. In return, it gets equity in the companies, usually around seven percent. Businesses started through Y Combinator include Airbnb, Coinbase, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Instacart, Reddit, Stripe, and Twitch. Prior to OpenAI, Sam Altman launched the startup Loopt through Y Combinator. While the concept mostly failed and the company was sold off for cheap, Altman ended up running Y Combinator, where he gained the contacts that helped him co-found OpenAI. Y Combinator has long focused on the post-cloud app and software boom and, like most venture funds, has shifted to embrace AI. But with Altman’s new business having caused a data center supply crunch, it is now venturing into the infrastructure layer. The company has already invested in data center space business Lumen Orbit, and underwater data center company NetworkOcean. In both cases, given the location of such deployments, the facilities would be classed as ‘lights out’ data centers, where humans are not involved in the day-to-day maintenance or operation. Now, Y Combinator is looking to find companies that can remove humans from the entire chain, starting at site selection. “We need more data centers that are created faster and cheaper to build out the infrastructure needed for AI progress,” Diana Hu, YC group partner, said in a YouTube video. “Hyperscale data center projects take many years to complete and – given all the interest and funding that has come up, and all the news, which is great – we need new companies and more clever solutions to speed up this build-out. Whether it be in power infrastructure, cooling, procurement of all materials, or project management.” Hu previously worked in augmented reality and data science. Dalton Caldwell, YC managing director, added: “I think we can paint a picture of what the future will look like. Software is going to handle all aspects of planning and building a new data center or warehouse. This can include site selection, construction, set up, and ongoing management. “Now, picture these data centers or warehouses: They’re going to be what’s called lights out. There’s going to be robots, autonomously operating 24/7. We want to fund startups to help create this vision.” Caldwell sold a social media site to MySpace, and cofounded App.net. Lights-out data centers have long been a goal for the data center industry, with AOL launching its first such facility in 2011. But the need for constant repairs, replacements, and expansion work at large facilities has meant that they usually employ several dozen workers, alongside customers and contractors. Microsoft – which tried and scrapped its own underwater data centers – has rebranded the concept as ‘zero-touch,’ building out a team that is developing its own robots for the data center. Late last year, the company detailed some early work, including networking maintenance machines and crab-like systems. Microsoft ranked robotics in the data center on a scale of zero to four, from no automation to fully self-maintaining data centers. “We are currently exploring robotics that operate between Levels 2 and 3,” Microsoft researchers said at the time. AI has also long been used in hyperscale site selection and capacity management, well before the generative AI boom. The extent of how much it is used, and how much it helps, remains a closely-guarded secret. Software and machine learning are also used for data center supply chain management. However, the data center design changes and constraints caused by AI development has meant existing processes needed changing, necessitating more human involvement. The Uptime Institute estimates that more than two million people work in the data center industry.

Labour has announced a 12-week project to decide on the “design and implementation of agreed rules on data” so that it can easily be shared between conveyancers, lenders and other parties involved in a transaction. The changes aim to modernise the “cumbersome” process by allowing information that is often paper-based or not machine-readable to be shared more easily. The housing and planning minister, Matthew Pennycook, said: “We are streamlining the cumbersome homebuying process so that it is fit for the 21st century, helping homebuyers save money, gain time and reduce stress while also cutting the number of house sales that fall through.” The move is part of Labour’s plans for housing which also including overhauling planning rules, building 1.5m homes and reforming leaseholds. Legislation will be introduced next week to give leaseholders power over the way their service charges are spent. When buying a home, conveyancing typically takes several weeks, but waiting for documents needed for property searches and other parts of the process can lead to delays. The website Rightmove said it takes five months on average from an offer being accepted to moving into a property, and that “digitising” the property market is key to helping accelerate the process. Rightmove’s chief executive, Johan Svanstrom, said the five months is in addition to the initial two months it usually takes to find a property and agree an offer. Svanstrom added: “The current process also contributes to an average of more than one in five home sales falling through, and hopefully a better process can help reduce this as well.” A “fully digitalised” homebuying and selling process would mean mortgage companies and surveyors can access the information they need immediately with identity checks only carried out once, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said. Building control and highways information are among the documentation needed that is predominantly paper-based or not machine-readable. A lack of protocol for accessing, sharing and verifying data that is available electronically also contributes to holdups, the ministry said. The ministry will work with HM Land Registry (HMLR) and experts from the Digital Property Market Steering Group – a coalition of government and industry partners – on the 12-week project. HMLR will also lead 10-month pilots with councils, focused on opening up more data and making it digital. Plans for digital identity verification services also aim to make property transactions move forward more quickly. As part of leasehold reforms, some new legislation will come into force on 3 March. This will give leaseholders powers to decide how their service charges are spent and remove the requirement for leaseholders to cover the legal fees of their freeholder when making a right-to-manage claim. This could save them up to £3,000 for the most costly claims and reduce the incentive for landlords to obstruct the process, the government said. Pennycook said the reforms would allow leasehold homeowners to “more easily and cheaply take control of the buildings they live in and clamp down on unreasonable or extortionate charges”.

The round was led by global venture capital firms GV and 20VC. Within less than three years, comstruct developed from an idea in the student dormitory of the University of St. Gallen to a platform used on over 13,000 construction sites across Europe. The fresh funds will help comstruct advance its mission: to transform the construction industry by seamlessly connecting material suppliers and construction companies – and replacing inefficient, paper-based processes with automated workflows. “Construction companies are drowning in administrative processes: mountains of delivery notes and entire rooms full of employees answering and documenting calls… I experienced this first-hand when I worked for one of the largest global concrete suppliers. At comstruct, we want to finally enable construction companies to focus on building again . Thanks to recent developments in AI, now is the perfect time to do so.” – Henric Meinhardt, CEO and Managing Director of comstruct. comstruct integrates directly into the material suppliers’ systems and structures orders, delivery notes and invoice data. The delivery note module alone reduces processing time by over 90%. This saves an average construction company with 1,000 employees more than €500,000 per year and increases its profitability by 20%. In addition to increasing efficiency, structured data capture enables faster construction processing, less material waste and more accurate cost calculation. “High data quality is essential for us at HOCHTIEF. Material data in particular is often unstructured due to different supplier practices – manual entry is extremely time-consuming and frustrating. comstruct has fundamentally changed this by automating these processes and at the same time taking our data quality to a new level. It’s great to see how our team can now focus on strategic initiatives that create real innovation and added value.” – Maximilian von Wedel, Strategic Project Lead Procurement ESG & Digitalization at HOCHTIEF. comstruct’s 25-strong team consists of outstanding talents who previously worked at fast-growing companies such as FINN, Tacto, Celonis and Westwing. With fresh capital, comstruct plans to further expand the team and hire experienced specialists to achieve its ambitious growth targets. As a young company, every team member plays a crucial role in the development of the company. comstruct offers a dynamic, performance-oriented corporate culture with a significant participation program that enables employees to actively drive innovation and participate directly in the company’s success. “The founding team of comstruct impressed us with their deep understanding of the construction industry. They combine strong competencies in sales, product and software development,” said Luna Schmid, partner at GV. “They identified key challenges in a huge market and developed a seamless solution to lead the construction industry from manual processes to modern workflows. We look forward to supporting this exceptional team on their journey.” “Henric is exceptional – we sent him a term sheet in just four days and I flew to Munich without a change of clothes to win the deal. The construction industry is one of the largest industries that has barely been touched by AI so far. comstruct has the opportunity to fundamentally shape the entire construction industry.” – Paul Bonnet, General Partner at 20VC. **About comstruct** comstruct digitizes building material data – from delivery notes to invoices – and thereby automates central processes such as orders, invoice verification, construction site management and ESG reporting. By recording material data at the position level, the platform enables detailed performance analysis and precise quantity and price comparisons for invoice verification. Automation reduces processing time per delivery note by up to 90%, minimizes errors and significantly increases the efficiency of construction projects.

(NYSE: WD) today announced its international expansion with the addition of a London-based brokerage and capital markets advisory team led by Claudio V.R. Sgobba. For 87 years, Walker & Dunlop has focused exclusively on the U.S. commercial real estate market and established itself as one of the largest and most recognized advisors in the industry. This strategic expansion capitalizes on the company’s scale, client demand for its expertise beyond the U.S., and opportunity to strengthen relationships with global investors already engaged with the company in the U.S. market. Sgobba assumes the role of senior managing director, Head – EMEA Capital Markets, leading a talented group that includes managing director Jessica Bell and others. “This is a game changer for us and marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our company,” said Willy Walker, Chairman and CEO of Walker & Dunlop. “Over the past 20 years, we have built W&D into one of the largest commercial real estate lenders and service providers in the U.S. Now is the time to leverage our scale and expertise to expand beyond the U.S., bringing us closer to our global capital partners. Having previously led the European expansion of a U.S. multinational platform, I have a clear vision for this next phase of growth, and I’m thrilled to welcome Claudio and Jessica to W&D to begin this next chapter.” Sgobba, Bell and other team members join W&D from Artega Capital. The newly established Walker & Dunlop Mayfair London office will concentrate on sourcing and structuring a diverse range of commercial real estate capital solutions, including senior, mezzanine, whole-loan, bridge loans, loans on loan, equity joint ventures and recapitalizations. Founded in the summer of 2024, Artega Capital has rapidly developed into an organization comprising seasoned commercial real estate and capital advisory professionals. The Artega team brings over 60 years of combined experience across the UK, Western Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East, having completed transactions exceeding $70 billion since 2005. “We are thrilled to join Walker & Dunlop at a pivotal moment in its growth, and to be an important part of its international expansion,” said Sgobba. “W&D’s culture of client focus, and exceptional execution are what attracted us to the company. As we open the doors on W&D’s European operations, we will bring that same culture of focus and commitment to our global clients.” Sgobba’s extensive 20-year background encompasses roles as a lender, institutional investor, investment banker, and capital advisor. Sgobba, Bell and other team members join W&D from Artega Capital. Before founding Artega, Sgobba was a senior director at JLL, and previously a managing director at Holiday Fenoglio Fowler (HFF). His career also includes principal roles with Dubai Inc., Standard Chartered Bank in Dubai, and Wintrust Financial in Chicago. Bell brings 20 years of experience in various roles, including lender, syndicator, and institutional investor, with a strong focus on structuring and executing debt and equity transactions across the U.K., Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Prior to joining Artega, Bell served as a managing director at KKR, where she was a member of the Capital Markets Co-investments and Partnerships team, focusing on global real estate. Her previous experience includes significant roles at ING in London and Amsterdam, the Royal Bank of Scotland in London, and Société Générale in both Paris and New York. **About Walker & Dunlop** Walker & Dunlop (NYSE: WD) is one of the largest commercial real estate finance and advisory services firms in the United States and internationally.

Building on the previous incorporation of the ABB-free@home smart home system into SmartThings, this advancement allows users to easily visualize, control, and optimize energy consumption in residential, multi-apartment, mixed-use, and light commercial buildings. This integrated solution extends load management capabilities, enabling SmartThings and SmartThings Pro users to manage the energy consumption of smart appliances and devices – such as dishwashers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and lawn-mowing robots – using real-time and historical data collected by InSite. This is demonstrated at the Brobyholm residential development in Sweden, where ABB’s energy management system is integrated with SmartThings to contribute to a larger ecosystem of interconnected partner solutions, creating a replicable blueprint for energy-smart community projects. Consolidating home automation, IoT devices, entertainment, EV charging, smart appliances, energy, gas and water consumption reduces “app overwhelm” and enables users to conveniently manage essential functions through a single user interface. SmartThings Pro further enhances these capabilities by offering advanced energy analytics, predictive insights, and automated optimization for businesses, property managers, and energy-conscious homeowners seeking deeper control over their energy ecosystem. This professional-grade platform provides seamless integration with industrial-grade IoT devices, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and sustainability. Mike Mustapha, President of ABB’s Smart Buildings division, said: “Integrating our state-of-the-art energy management system with Samsung’s SmartThings and SmartThings Pro platforms highlights the power of collaboration in helping our customers outperform in an increasingly connected world. Our combined solution not only differentiates properties in a competitive market, but also addresses the rising importance of energy efficiency for homeowners, tenants, and landlords.” Chanwoo Park, EVP B2B Solutions of Samsung Electronics, commented: “The future of energy management lies in intelligent, automated solutions that adapt to evolving regulations and business needs while also increasing the value of properties. SmartThings Pro offers advanced analytics, predictive automation, and industrial IoT integration, giving enterprises greater control over energy usage and sustainability efforts. By leveraging AI and machine learning, we empower businesses to proactively manage consumption, improve operational efficiency, and create smarter, more valuable buildings through energy-efficient innovations.” Enhancing energy efficiency, the combined solution enables smarter energy decisions and increases property value, while also making energy management more accessible and transparent for users.

This is where Genia steps in. Genia, founded in Los Angeles, is coming out of the gate with US $3 million in funding and debuting a new physics-validated generative AI platform, the Genia Structural CoPilot. Specialized for the construction industry, Genia’s solution enables engineers to rapidly validate structural designs ten times faster than with traditional means. **Building under pressure: The challenges reshaping the construction industry** Why does this matter? Natural disasters like the recent Palisade fires in Los Angeles can overwhelm local engineering contractors, limiting their capacity to fulfill sudden demand for new projects. Sustainable development, such as “adaptive reuse,” requires repurposing structures, often demanding significant time to assess reinforcement or redevelopment needs. On top of that, rising interest rates are putting even more pressure on the construction industry. Typically, for structural engineering consultancies, analyzing designs from architecture firms and adapting them for structural integrity is incredibly labor-intensive. Most of the work is done through Excel or pen and paper. Designing a 20-story tower isn’t just an overnight process. It could require more than 15 engineers working on the project for 18 months and could total 750,000 manual calculations. On top of this, planning permissions can be rejected as often as 40% of the time due to human error in the design process. For homeowners in the U.S., this could mean a wait of not just months, but sometimes years. “Generative design is critical to solving this bottleneck and we believe Genia’s solution will become the go-to tool,” said Faisal Butt, Managing Partner and Founder of Pi Labs. “It could be a game changer in facilitating offsite construction, enabling shorter build times, lower costs and more sustainable carbon profiles for projects.” **First rule-based AI instantly generates structurally sound designs** Co-founded by ex-Amazon engineer, Zhihao Zhao, and ex-Arup structural engineer Robin Li, along with software entrepreneur Houtao Wang and generative AI researcher Peter Dai, Genia’s manages to dramatically reduce time-consuming manual calculations. Engineers can simply upload PDFs or AutoCAD files to the Genia Structural CoPilot, which conducts rules-based structural analysis algorithmically. The AI instantly outputs up to five structurally sound design options — all of which offer optimizations for cost, feasibility and stability in construction, and sustainability. Not only this but the design options are fully actionable as Genia even accompanies each design with a detailed materials selection list, which is optimized to reduce material use by up to 20%. What’s even more groundbreaking is that the Genia Structural CoPilot is based on a generative AI model that the Genia team has developed entirely from scratch. But according to Genia, this was a solution born out of necessity. While OpenAI’s GPT or other solutions can output designs, these are merely conceptual architectural designs. Genia’s approach is an industry first and takes things a step further. By conducting precise physics-based calculations, Genia’s AI model knows exactly which materials can be used to offer structurally sound designs. “They’ll tell you that you need to have a beam to connect the walls, but it can’t tell you what type of beam and the exact measurements and coordinates that the beam needs to be designed with,” Zhihao Zhao, Co-Founder and CEO of Genia explains in reference to the generic AI models on the market. “Genia comes in with pixel-level accuracy and offers physics-backed measurements.” Despite insufficient availability of structural engineering designs that would be needed to train AI models, Genia has taken a radical approach. It not only uses both open-source and client designs, but also leverages an in-house team of engineers to develop simulated designs that are fed into its training algorithm. These designs are then cross-referenced and validated with a material database provided through an industry-first partnership with leading American building material suppliers, including Weyerhaeuser’s ForteWeb and Simpson Strong-Tie. **Major construction contractor bets on Genia** In fact, Genia has jumped out of the gate, inking a deal with one of North America’s largest construction contractors, Suffolk Construction, which will repurpose out-of-use buildings including schools or warehouses and turn them into residential or office spaces. This means reimagining and reinforcing a building’s structural integrity to accommodate its new purpose but avoids demolition and reduces the environmental impact while preserving the heritage of existing structures. “Genia combines AI with code-based checks in a truly innovative way, ensuring that structural designs are both AI-generated and code-compliant. In an era where AI is often overused as a buzzword, Genia stands out by integrating it meaningfully into their design engine,” said Dr. Murat Melek SE, Design AI director at Suffolk Construction. Genia’s first round totaling US $3 million in investment was led by venture capital firm Pi Labs, and saw participation from early-stage investors Amplify, Boost VC, Dorm Room Fund, Suffolk Technologies, Y Startup Index, Moatable founder Joseph Chen and Scale AI executives.

Operating as the “Figma for Architects,” the company unveiled a collaborative architectural planning tool that integrates all the processes an architect needs into a single platform. Founder Brendon Ahmeti explains: “We’ve developed a multiplayer editor that works as simply and intuitively as using a pencil.” Synaps contends that industry leader AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, has hardly driven innovation in the last nearly 40 years. Due to the lack of contemporary features such as real-time collaboration, intuitive user interface, browser-based access, or an active community, AutoCAD is gradually becoming outdated. Synaps combines architectural and planning elements and plans to include advanced post-production features in the future (e.g., layer effects like shadows, lighting, blur, blending modes, and tools like brushes and magic wands). These features will enable users to create impressive architectural plans and presentations with minimal effort. Notably, CPO Kevin believes it is unlikely that market leader AutoCAD will catch up quickly because it “would need to completely rebuild its product from scratch”. He asserts that over the years, this has made the software “very sluggish, more complex, and harder to learn”. “It feels like it takes months or even years to fully master AutoCAD, while with Synaps, it will only take days. Autodesk also has a functioning business model, so they don’t see any urgent need for innovation in this area. If things go as planned, we should soon be more agile and versatile in every field. We will offer both old and completely new features, all at a significantly better price-to-performance ratio.” The Synaps entire software architecture is designed for browser, with features continuously added on top, It allows users to hold completely remote feedback sessions and location-independently directly within the editor, assigning specific tasks to different stakeholders simultaneously and at the same time. Subscribers will soon pay a completely transparent monthly usage fee, but no longer have to purchase expensive licenses, while viewers can use the platform for free on an ongoing basis. Even before the first launch, the market itself demonstrated how significant the interest and demand for change in this industry appear to be. Without any marketing efforts, over 8,000 architects, planners, and others have already registered for the beta version over the past few months. They will gradually gain access, allowing them to explore the future possibilities for their daily work. Synaps will begin granting phased access to its platform starting today. The round is raised from a variety of business angels such as former JP Immobilien CEO Martin Müller or success story Silicon-Valley founder Fredrik Björk (CEO of Grafbase), alongside Austria’s Research Promotion Agency (FFG). According to investor Martin Müller (previously Rendity, Trovato, Puck): “After more than 20 years in the real estate industry and with an IT background, I am well aware of the incredible inefficiencies in building planning. Synaps has all the attributes and the right team to put an end to this chaos in daily collaboration among stakeholders. The product has tremendous scaling potential and could eventually succeed globally.” Synaps is currently fully focused on further product development, with key features such as geometric shapes and operations, as well as real-time collaboration (CAD tools), taking centre stage. By the time the full beta version launches in the second quarter of 2025, additional features like walls, windows, doors, and comprehensive post-production tools will be available, making the product fully functional before the summer. A completely new AI feature is already being developed, which, according to Synaps, can potentially be a game-changer for the entire architectural design industry.

The acquisition supports Thirdfort’s vision to make client due diligence (CDD) simple and secure for legal, property, and accounting professionals. It strengthens Thirdfort’s position to serve the evolving needs of agents and property investors by offering a unified platform that delivers comprehensive, best-in-class CDD solutions for both sales and lettings. The addition of Homeppl’s rental check platform enables Thirdfort to expand its product offering. Now, Thirdfort – which is used by 1500+ regulated businesses, including more than 230 estate agents – can provide tenant checks, protect clients from fraud in the lettings market, and become a one-stop shop for CDD across the property sector. Homeppl has transformed the market with its rental check tool, empowering letting agents, Build-to-Rent (BTR) developments, and homeowners to protect against tenancy fraud. Its unique tenant checks use innovative technology to identify fraudulent tenant applications before they become costly, whilst making previously invisible rental applicants, such as internationals, students, and individuals with thin UK credit files, fully and easily accessible. Each tenant goes through 150 plus fraud tests, including email tracking, reaction tests, data enrichment, font detection, and authority and integrity tests. Initially, the rental check platform will operate as Homeppl by Thirdfort. Over time, Thirdfort will integrate the product into its end-to-end client due diligence platform, allowing lettings, and residential and commercial clients to be verified and checked through Thirdfort. Olly Thornton-Berry, co-founder and CEO at Thirdfort: “With the acquisition of Homeppl’s rental check platform, we will further our mission to protect society from fraud and money laundering. Homeppl has built an outstanding product with its unique and market-leading rental check and fraud detection solution for lettings. The cutting-edge solution complements our platform, making client due diligence simple and secure for all property, legal and accounting professionals. Property is a significant growth area for us, and we’ve consistently heard from our clients that they want a single platform to handle all their CDD needs across both sales and lettings. We can offer clients a truly unique end-to-end platform that does not exist elsewhere.” The remaining Homeppl business will rebrand to Fraud Finder. It will focus on scaling its industry-agnostic machine learning document risk analysis product of the same name. Fraud Finder will continue to power the document analysis algorithm that supports Homeppl and Thirdfort’s tenant check process, while also remaining available to businesses across the real estate, finance, legal, and insurance sectors. Companies looking to leverage AI and data-driven insights to combat fraud at the application stage can continue to rely on Fraud Finder’s industry-leading technology. Alexander Siedes, founder of Homeppl and CEO of Fraud Finder: “Thirdfort is a leader in simplifying and securing client due diligence for the property sector and a great fit for Homeppl’s rental check platform . It’s an exciting opportunity to create a category-defining client due diligence platform for the property sector.

The Series A round was led by Indico Capital Partners, with participation from Shilling and Bynd. With this funding, Relive will grow its team with strategic hires, further develop its technology platform, and expand from Texas, where it started, to multiple states, including Florida, Colorado, Georgia, among others. Born in the gig economy age of ‘work for yourself, from anywhere’, the Lisbon-based startup founded in October 2020, relies on an all-digital mobile based platform that allows users to create, manage and grow their own real estate business while becoming more efficient and earning bigger commissions, faster. Following the ‘Uber model’, Relive provides to agents, what Uber provides to drivers – technology and access to a turnkey business model. In less than one year, the company has now over 100 active remote agents, over 100 properties listed and secured more than 50 real estate transactions all across Portugal. Founder José Costa Rodrigues commented: “Relive has always been on a mission to create the real estate brokerage platform of the future, empowering a new generation of agents – Millennials and Gen Z – with digital tools and a strong social media presence to boost their businesses. “Currently, the average age of a real estate agent in the U.S. is 50 years old. It’s a different generation, with valuable experience and an extensive physical network, but far removed from the reality and needs of a new generation of digital-savvy clients, aged between 20 and 40. Stephan de Moraes, Indico´s Managing General Partner, added: “It is essential to keep developing a collaborative platform that simplifies housing search, especially for younger generations who search for solutions in a very different way than others. We are proud to support Relive in this crucial investment for a successful expansion, helping to drive innovation and technology in an ever-evolving industry.” [Source](https://tech.eu/2025/02/14/portuguese-proptech-relive-secures-5-5m/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

This large AI infrastructure is needed to allow open, collaborative development of the most complex AI models and to make Europe an AI continent. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: “AI will improve our healthcare, spur our research and innovation and boost our competitiveness. We want AI to be a force for good and for growth. We are doing this through our own European approach – based on openness, cooperation and excellent talent. But our approach still needs to be supercharged. This is why, together with our Member States and with our partners, we will mobilise unprecedented capital through InvestAI for European AI gigafactories. This unique public-private partnership, akin to a CERN for AI, will enable all our scientists and companies – not just the biggest – to develop the most advanced very large models needed to make Europe an AI continent.” President of the European Investment Bank, Nadia Calviño, said: “Together with the EU Commission, the EIB Group is stepping up support for Artificial Intelligence, a key driver of innovation and productivity in Europe.” The EU’s InvestAI fund will finance four future AI gigafactories across the EU. The new AI gigafactories will be specialised in training the most complex, very large, AI models. Such next-generation models require extensive computing infrastructure for breakthroughs in specific domains such as medicine or science. The gigafactories will have around 100 000 last-generation AI chips, around four times more than the AI factories being set up right now. The gigafactories funded through InvestAI will be the largest public-private partnership in the world for the development of trustworthy AI. They will serve the European model of cooperative, open innovation, with a focus on complex industrial and mission-critical applications. The goal is that every company, not only the biggest players, can access large-scale computing power to build the future. InvestAI will include a layered fund, with shares of different risk and return profiles. The EU budget would derisk the investment of other partners. The Commission’s initial funding for InvestAI will come from existing EU funding programmes which have a digital component, such as Digital Europe Programme and Horizon Europe, and InvestEU. Member States can also contribute by programming funds from their Cohesion envelopes. Funding of AI gigafactories with a mix of grants and equity will serve as one of the pilot cases for strategic technologies announced in the Competitiveness Compass. The Commission has already announced the initial seven AI factories in December and will soon announce the next five. The existing support for AI Factories of €10 billion, co-financed by the EU and the Member States, is already the largest public investment in AI in the world, and will unlock over ten times more private investment. It already provides massive access for start-ups and industry to supercomputers. **Background** Next to the InvestAI fund launched today, the Commission is taking many actions in different fields to support AI innovation in Europe. AI Factories are a highlight of the Commission’s AI innovation package presented in January 2024, together with: - Financial support through Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe programme dedicated to generative AI; - Accompanying initiatives to strengthen the EU’s generative AI talent pool through education, training, skilling and reskilling activities; - Further encouragement of public and private investments in AI start-ups and scale-ups, including through venture capital or equity support; - The acceleration of the development and deployment of Common European Data Spaces, made available to the AI community, for whom data is a key resource to train and improve their models; - The ‘GenAI4EU’ initiative, which aims to support the development of novel use cases and emerging applications in Europe’s 14 industrial ecosystems, as well as the public sector. Application areas include robotics, health, biotech, manufacturing, mobility, climate and virtual worlds. The Commission will also set up a European AI Research Council where Europe can pool resources and explore how it can exploit the untapped potential of data to support AI and other technologies. Later this year, the Commission will launch an ‘Apply AI’ initiative to drive industrial adoption of artificial intelligence in key sectors.

The Strategic Energy Partnership between [E.ON](https://www.eonenergy.com/) and Coventry City Council is working with tech startup [Kestrix](https://www.kestrix.io/) to use thermal camera drones and advanced 3D heat loss modelling at scale, providing real-world data on the performance of thousands of homes in Coventry at once. This will allow better – and faster – targeting of energy efficiency improvements with the aim of making homes more energy efficient and, ultimately, cheaper to heat. Described as the ‘Google Maps of heat loss’, Kestrix uses drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras to scan a bird’s-eye view of homes from about 50 metres high, quantifying precisely how and where heat escapes from buildings. The drone survey takes a few minutes rather than the current model of home visits which can typically last hours. The 3D heat loss models highlight opportunities for building improvements at scale, with machine learning insights recommending what improvements could work best and at lowest cost. The new solutions give a far clearer picture of how much it costs to run a house and how to fix heat loss issues. Capturing this data at scale gives a clear blueprint of which homes are performing the worst across whole areas, meaning energy efficiency improvements can be targeted to those who need it most in a more efficient way. The data captured could also help social landlords and local authorities to plan and prioritise the work and, over time, aspire to build up a map of heat losses community-wide. The collaboration between E.ON and Kestrix grew out of the Free Electrons open innovation programme, in which E.ON and other leading global utilities work together with promising start-ups to develop innovative solutions for the world of new energy. As a finalist in the 2024 edition of Free Electrons, Kestrix was brought into the organisation by E.ON Group Innovation, E.ON’s incubator for innovative technologies. Through Free Electrons, E.ON Group Innovation has helped launch a number of pilot projects across Europe, with Kestrix being the latest. Vijay Tank, Chief Operating Officer at E.ON Infrastructure Solutions, said: “At E.ON we have improved hundreds of thousands of homes going back many years, but if the UK is to meet its net zero targets we are going to need to improve 1.8 homes every minute from now to 2050. “We need to go further and faster, and that’s where our relationship with Kestrix and our Strategic Energy Partnership with the City of Coventry come in. Bringing together the city and this cutting-edge technology means we can deliver accurate data at scale and take away any guesswork in where exactly are the worst performing homes and what help we can get to those who need it most.” Councillor Jim O’Boyle, cabinet member for jobs, regeneration and climate change, said: “This new technological innovation will allow E.ON, our strategic energy partner, to assess heat loss from homes at scale and get vital data on where and how we can encourage or support local people to make improvements – in turn saving them cash on their heating bills. It will also mean that some people who might not qualify for support will be able to have a look at the data for their home in case there is action they want to take.” Lucy Lyons, co-founder of Kestrix, added: “There is no scalable, cost-effective way of knowing reliably how heat is lost across the millions of buildings we all live, work and play in – let alone how to fix it and how much fixes will cost. We need to upgrade millions of homes across the UK and with scarce finance, time and resources it’s critical to put insulation where it’s needed – with partners like E.ON and Coventry City Council we have the ambition and scale to make a real difference in people’s lives.” The Coventry trial is the largest scale application of the Kestrix system in the world, and the drone thermal imaging will analyse more than 4,000 homes, centred on the Hillfields area in the east of the city. Details on project rollout: - Drone flights are scheduled to begin from mid-February, after local people have been notified by letter. - The community-scale data is treated with machine learning and computer vision algorithms to quantify heat loss and prescribe retrofit roadmaps for individual homes - Once the project team has reviewed the data, the project team will contact residents to discuss any options for making their home more energy efficient. - Reports may also include options for residents to access funding streams for support with home improvements. **About Kestrix** The ‘Google Maps’ of heat loss, Kestrix uses thermal drones and advanced software to map and quantify how heat escapes from buildings and generate energy retrofit plans, tackling the 20% of emissions coming from heating and cooling. Since its founding in 2022, Kestrix has mapped thousands of buildings for major UK housing providers and utilities, helping identify retrofit opportunities at scale and drive the national transition to net zero. **About the Coventry Strategic Energy Partnership** In September 2023, Coventry City Council and E.ON launched a UK-first energy partnership to revolutionise the city’s energy use. The 15-year collaboration with Coventry is designed to drive climate action, create jobs, and attract private investment through projects like solar farms, electrified transport, and energy-efficient public buildings.

Additional support came from Cusp Capital and prominent angel investors, including Íñigo Juantegui (La Nevera Roja), Enrique Linares (Letgo), and Juan Velayos (Neinor Homes). **Expanding AI-Driven Homeownership Solutions** Libeen is transforming the real estate market with its AI-powered SmartHousing model, which enables tenants to gradually build equity while renting—offering a more accessible alternative to traditional mortgages. With this latest funding, the company plans to: - Raise an additional €100M to acquire 600+ properties - Expand across Spain’s major cities - Enhance its AI-driven property selection technology - Help over 130 families secure homes in the coming months **How Libeen’s SmartHousing Model Works** The firm’s model allows renters to become homeowners without needing a 20% down payment required for traditional mortgages. Instead: 1. Libeen buys the selected property and sets up a SmartHousing contract. 2. Tenants pay an initial 5% deposit and make monthly payments, where one-third of each payment goes toward savings for homeownership. 3. After 3 to 7 years, tenants can transition to a mortgage and fully own the property. **Leveraging AI for Smarter Housing Decisions** The startup integrates AI-driven analytics to: - Assess property appreciation potential in real time - Identify low-risk, high-demand rental properties - Personalize financial assessments to match buyers with suitable homes According to co-founder Sofía Iturbe, AI technology reduces financial barriers and accelerates mortgage approvals, helping clients save an average of €50,000 in the homebuying process. **Future Growth & International Expansion** Libeen is preparing to expand beyond Madrid into other Spanish cities, while also hiring international talent. However, co-founder José Manuel Cartes acknowledges the regulatory challenges of expanding beyond Spain, noting that local banking partnerships will be crucial for future global growth. **A Profitable, Scalable Housing Solution** The startup from Madrid generates revenue through SmartHousing monthly payments, designed to be competitive with traditional rent prices. By using AI to identify high-value properties and securing fixed-rate financing, the company maintains stable costs and strong margins. With this latest funding round and a tech-driven approach, Libeen is reshaping homeownership, making it more accessible, flexible, and future-proof in an evolving real estate market.

This collaboration aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology’s (MCIT) 10Gbps Society initiative that aims to build a superfast broadband infrastructure across the Kingdom to support the country’s digital transformation goals. The 10 Gbps Society envisions a future of ultra-fast internet access, powering a more connected and intelligent world. As demand for bandwidth-heavy applications like video streaming and online gaming grows, Huawei’s Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) solution delivers the necessary infrastructure. FTTR provides a stable, gigabit-speed Wi-Fi experience throughout the home by extending fiber optic cables to each room, ensuring seamless connectivity for every device. Through this partnership, Huawei will provide its technical expertise and advanced FTTR solutions to ensure Tameer Vision’s new residential buildings are future-proof and capable of supporting the ever-increasing bandwidth demands of smart homes and automation technologies. This will lay the groundwork for seamless integration of future advancements in connectivity. Commenting on the partnership, CEO of Tameer , Yasser Al Majed, said, “This partnership with Huawei marks a pivotal moment for Tameer Vision and sets a new standard of modern living in the Kingdom. At Tameer Vision, we are committed to providing our residents with the most advanced living experience possible, and this collaboration allows us to deliver on that promise. By integrating Huawei’s cutting-edge FTTR technology, we are not only future-proofing our residential units but also contributing to the Kingdom’s broader digital transformation goals outlined in Vision 2030. This is more than just connectivity; it’s about building the foundation for a smarter, more connected future for Saudi Arabia.” Simon zousiyi, Deputy CEO of Huawei Saudi , commented, “Huawei is proud to partner with Tameer Vision on this groundbreaking initiative. We believe that access to high-speed, reliable connectivity is essential for driving innovation and economic growth across Saudi Arabia. This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to empowering a fully connected, intelligent world, and we are excited to contribute our expertise in FTTR solutions to help Tameer Vision create truly future-ready residential communities in the Kingdom. This project aligns perfectly with the Kingdom’s 10Gbps Society vision, and we are confident it will serve as a model for other developers in the region.” This partnership underscores both companies’ dedication to driving innovation in the Kingdom. By integrating Huawei’s state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure, Tameer Vision aims to deliver superior living experiences to residents while contributing to the growth of Saudi Arabia’s digital economy. The initiative sets a new standard for residential connectivity, encouraging wider adoption of FTTR technology among developers and promoting a more connected future for the Kingdom. The two companies aim to have over 5,000 FTTR-ready residential units by 2035, which is key to achieving the ambitious goals outlined by MCIT’s 10Gbps society initiative and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. This forward-thinking approach positions Tameer Vision as a smart real estate development leader and reinforces Huawei’s commitment to empowering a digitally advanced society.

This partnership will see Goodlord’s end-to-end lettings platform rolled out to the entire stable of LRG brands, which comprises over 300 branches across the UK and includes Leaders, Romans, Stirling Ackroyd and Acorn amongst its brands. From this month, all LRG branches will leverage Goodlord’s platform across referencing, contracts, payments and compliance. The move forms part of LRG’s ambition to consolidate systems and streamline operations across its rapidly growing lettings brands, which now stretches from the Isle of Wight through to Manchester. The Goodlord platform is designed to simplify compliance, unlock efficiencies, and help agencies discover new revenue streams. It also ensures letting agencies and their landlords remain compliant across new and existing tenancies. As part of this partnership LRG agencies will transition to Goodlord’s PRO Referencing offering. The tool also offers IDVT and AML checks to further protect agents and landlords against nefarious applications. Allison Thompson, national lettings MD at LRD, said: “Partnering with Goodlord allows us to consolidate our lettings processes under one seamless platform, giving our branches the tools they need to deliver a streamlined, tech-enabled experience. For tenants, this means a faster, more transparent rental journey – from simplified referencing to quicker contract processing and secure online payments. “With lettings legislation continuing to evolve, this partnership ensures we remain ahead of the curve, equipping our teams with market-leading technology to support our customers and drive operational excellence across our network.” William Reeve, CEO at Goodlord, commented: “LRG shares our ambitious, fast-paced mindset, as well as our ongoing commitment to digital excellence and market compliance, and we know they all explored all avenues when it comes to lettings technology before ultimately choosing to partner with Goodlord. Together, we can deliver an optimised rental experience for agents, landlords and tenants across the nation.” [Source](https://propertyindustryeye.com/leaders-romans-group-partners-with-goodlord/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The Brookfield investment will be targeted across data centers and associated infrastructure sectors which are vital for AI deployment. Up to €15 billion of data center investment will be led by Brookfield’s portfolio company, Data4, one of Europe’s largest data center developers, headquartered in Paris. Data4 has existing plans to build over 500 MW of data center capacity located across several regions in France, with an ambition to triple that by 2030 as part of today’s announcement. With this, France is projected to be the single largest market for Data4 in Europe. The investment of a further €5 billion is planned by Brookfield in France across associated AI infrastructure such as data transfer, chip storage and energy generation. The total €20 billion investment is projected to be delivered by 2030. French President Emmanuel Macron declared: “The €20 billion investment by Brookfield notably through Data4 will allow France to remain in the race alongside major AI players. This investment demonstrates France’s attractiveness. We have the knowledge, the talents, and the decarbonized energy needed to accelerate in AI. We must not slow down, the world is accelerating. This is a battle for independence.” Sikander Rashid, Head of Europe, Brookfield, added, “We believe France has the potential to play a pivotal role in the global advancement of AI. To achieve European leadership, it is essential to invest proactively in the infrastructure that powers AI services, particularly in data and associated infrastructure. Our €20 billion investment program represents a significant step toward this ambition, laying the foundation for France to compete on the global stage. We are excited to collaborate with stakeholders across France and are looking to expand our investment in data centers to an even greater scale in the future.” Brookfield is one of the world’s largest investors in the AI value chain, with more than €150 billion invested across digital infrastructure, renewable power and semiconductor manufacturing worldwide. Last year, Brookfield and Microsoft announced the largest ever renewable power supply deal, underpinning more than €10 billion of investment to supply Microsoft’s business activities in Europe and North America. In 2022, Brookfield and Intel entered into a $30 billion partnership for the development of Intel’s landmark semiconductor foundry in Arizona. Brookfield has been actively investing in France since 2015 and employs over 7,000 people through its operations. In December 2024, Brookfield opened an office hub in Paris to support the firm’s existing and future investments in France. Brookfield’s French portfolio includes investments in residential decarbonization, student and young professional living, hospitality, and logistics, as well as digital and renewable energy infrastructure. **About Brookfield Asset Management** Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.

The goal is to achieve greater energy efficiency, meet decarbonization targets, reduce operational costs, and potentially enhance property ratings. As part of this collaboration, the first phase will involve a preliminary analysis—at no cost to the client—to identify properties with the greatest transformation potential. Clients interested in moving to the second phase will undergo a technical analysis conducted by CBRE. This includes a proposal outlining sustainability improvement measures, an action plan, and the associated investment. Francisco Horta e Costa, Managing Director of CBRE, highlights “the significant importance of ESG topics in the real estate market and the impact that a proper and sustainable ESG strategy has on asset valuation. Investors and tenants are paying a premium of between 10% and 15% to invest in or occupy sustainable buildings. On the other hand, besides the Green Premium, we now see obsolete buildings or those without sustainability measures being excluded from transactions or subject to a Brown Discount.” To enable these projects, BPI facilitates access to financing solutions aligned with best environmental and social responsibility practices. Clients can benefit from financing conditions tailored to the specifics of each project, subject to risk assessment and pricing conditions agreed upon between the parties. Ana Rosas Oliveira, Executive Board Member at BPI, reinforces that “sustainability is a fundamental pillar of BPI, and we are committed to supporting our clients on the path to carbon neutrality. Through green financing, we want to create conditions that allow our clients to achieve their sustainability goals.” This agreement represents a significant step in promoting greater sustainability in the commercial real estate sector. It offers an integrated and efficient approach by combining CBRE’s expertise in real estate sustainability with BPI’s financial solutions.

This program coincides with the release of Kadena’s RWA token standard, which provides compliance and permissioning features essential for regulated securities and digital assets. The grant program reflects Kadena’s commitment to the tokenization of real-world assets including bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance. It will foster innovation by supporting developers and entrepreneurs within the Kadena ecosystem. Focus areas include private credit, debt, alternative assets, real estate, digital identity, compliance, and expanding real-world use cases for tokenized assets. Kadena’s RWA token standard takes inspiration from frameworks such as ERC-3643, also known as T-REX (Token for Regulated Exchanges), developed by Tokeny. This standard enables secure and regulated tokenization of real-world assets. “Kadena was created to bridge the transformative potential of blockchain with the reliability of traditional finance systems,” said Stuart Popejoy, Kadena’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our RWA Grant Program and token standard are essential components of this vision, enabling compliant and scalable tokenization while paving the way for widespread adoption.” “Tokenization will upgrade finance, bringing greater efficiency, transparency, and security to global markets. This grant program is one of many ways Kadena is enabling that transformation,” said Annelise Osborne, Kadena’s Chief Business Officer. Projects will be assessed for viability by Kadena’s grants committee, with grant sizes determined on a case-by-case basis. Funding is expected to be deployed over the next 12 to 24 months. Kadena reserves the right to modify the program based on market conditions. Applications for the RWA Grant Program are now open, and interested parties can visit [kadena.io/grants](http://kadena.io/grants) for more information. **About Kadena** Kadena offers the industry’s only Proof-of-Work Layer 1 blockchain that is infinitely scalable, secure, and decentralized.

PropHero also offers a free service that allows unpaid customers to track the value of properties that were not purchased on the platform, which has around 8,000 users across 40-plus countries. PropHero’s offering operates on a fixed fee model to give users tailored investment property recommendations based on their budgets and financial goals. Customers also gain access to a vetted marketplace of partners across conveyancing, mortgage broking, renovations, property management, and insurance to help manage their investment property. “This raise will help us deliver our vision of offering everyone a real estate wealth advisor in their pocket, powered by Generative AI,” says co-founder and co-CEO Mickael Roger. “Our mission is to transform real estate for the greater good: delivering high returns for investors, great living conditions for tenants, and energy savings through renovations.” The funding will primarily be used to develop and enhance PropHero’s generative AI real estate wealth advisory platform, which is already replacing traditional buyer’s agents and wealth advisors. Additional investment will support market expansion, scaling operations, and team growth. “Our ambition is to double revenue this year to US$50M, while remaining profitable,” adds co-founder and co-CEO Pablo Gil Brusola. “PropHero’s success stems from our commitment to transparency and trust in property investment, with all data available to clients through our app.” PropHero’s Australia CEO Suvidh Arora says the round was oversubscribed by more than two-fold. “We are incredibly proud of the strong interest from high-profile global investors who believe in our vision,” says Arora. “Our mission is to make property investment more accessible, with a particular focus on Millennials who are navigating a challenging housing market and seeking smarter, data-driven solutions to build their wealth.” Bailador co-founder and managing partner David Kirk will join the PropHero board as part of the investment. “Property is a huge global asset class that has been underserved by digital transaction solutions,” Kirk says. “PropHero provides a world-leading solution for investors, demonstrated by very high growth, word of mouth customer acquisition, and a high proportion of customers returning to purchase multiple properties. Bailador is backing Mickael, Pablo, and the wider PropHero team to continue executing on their growth in Australia and internationally.” Other investments from Bailador include Rosterfy, DASH, Hapana, Updoc, Siteminder and more.

Their platform leverages proprietary, peer-reviewed AI technology (Vertical AI Agents) to provide instant access to critical project insights, automate complex workflows, and support smarter decision-making in the €11.4 trillion construction industry. Vertical AI Agents are designed to automate critical workflows such as project performance analysis and compliance reporting. By streamlining these processes, Nodes & Links helps enterprises focus on higher-value activities while maintaining complete control of their workflows and data. The accelerating global demand for construction is well-documented, with spending forecasted to jump €12.4 trillion in 2023, to €21 trillion in 2040, placing demands on the sector to improve productivity. Nodes & Links’ platform is positioned to support this drive for operational efficiency, as well as contribute to the global push for sustainable infrastructure. In 2024, Nodes & Links has reportedly saved enterprises over 175k hours and €3.6 million, while achieving a 6x increase in adoption rate. To date, the platform, which includes an integrated AI-powered CO2 tracker, has reduced over 9,000 kT of carbon emissions across over 711 projects. AECOM, a global player in engineering and infrastructure management, has already seen tangible benefits. “Nodes & Links enables our teams to unlock tailored predictive insights quickly and easily, allowing us to fine-tune plans and monitor them closely throughout execution,” said Richard Newey, Project Controls Director at AECOM. “This approach has led to healthier, more efficient, and greener project outcomes.” “Nodes & Links is redefining how enterprises approach project complexity, enabling smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions,” said Lucy Rand, Partner at ETF Partners. “Their technology not only enhances operational resilience but also drives meaningful environmental impact by reducing inefficiencies, resource waste, and carbon footprints across industries. As Europe’s leading sustainability investors, we are committed to supporting innovative solutions like that align business performance with sustainability goals, and we are excited to help the Nodes & Links team scale their impact globally.” [Source](https://www.eu-startups.com/2025/02/nodes-links-raises-e11-4-million-to-innovate-an-agentic-ai-revolution-in-construction/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The business has 31 sites (25 operational and 6 due to open) across 14 cities. It encompasses over 4,000 units, spanning a total of 330,000 square feet of storage space. This transaction, made on behalf of Heitman’s European value strategy, allows the firm to continue investing in the rising global demand for self-storage. It follows the firm’s previous self-storage platform acquisitions across Europe, including in Ireland in 2022, Germany in 2021 and the UK in 2020. Heitman has been investing in self-storage globally since 1996 and currently manages more than 600 self-storage assets, representing $7.8 billion.1 “Heitman has a history of investing in self-storage assets globally for nearly three decades. The relationships and expertise cultivated over that time drives our ability to identify and acquire off-market opportunities in Europe, which we believe is a core differentiator for Heitman,” said Tony Smedley, Managing Director and Head of European Private Equity at Heitman. “That dynamic is evident in this transaction, where the team was able to source the investment off-market.” A key differentiator of the Servistore business is the focus on technology to operate stores on an unmanned basis. Heitman intends to leverage this to scale in the Swedish market, and enhance the business further by boosting operating procedures, such as installing revenue management software and strengthening ancillary service offerings like insurance sales. “We are delighted to bring our experience of operating €2.7 bn self-storage across Europe to the Servistore platform and to partner with its CEO, Ivan Elgstrand, whose technology-led approach to self-storage has created an innovative business,” said Caleb Mercer, Managing Director for Heitman’s European real estate investments and Portfolio Manager for the Heitman European value-add fund series. “The Swedish self-storage sector has among the best fundamentals in Europe, combining strong population growth with high urbanisation rates and mobility of households. We look forward to establishing Servistore as a market leader under our ownership.” **ABOUT HEITMAN:** Heitman is a global real estate investment management firm with $48 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024. Founded in 1966 and globally headquartered in Chicago, with European headquarters in London, Heitman has 10 offices worldwide and is an active participant in the global real estate property and capital markets. Heitman makes real estate investments through private equity, debt, and publicly-traded real estate securities. **Contacts** Prosek Partners on behalf of Heitman pro-HeitmanUK@prosek.com [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250224479918/en/Heitman-Acquires-Majority-Stake-in-Swedish-Self-Storage-Operator) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The acquisition comes hot on the heels of the €280m takeover of Cromwell Europe, which Stoneweg completed at the end of last year, along with its London-based shareholder, Icona Capital. Over the past six months, MC Property has collaborated with the teams at Stoneweg and Icona, offering strategic advice on the acquisition and integration of the Cromwell European platform. MC Property was founded by: Mark McLaughlin, former European managing director of Cromwell Europe; Rob Cotterell, former head of investment for Europe and head of UK; Wouter Zwetsloot, former head of real estate Europe and head of Benelux; Martin Hanratty, who was a fund manager at Valad Europe (acquired by Cromwell in 2015) and, latterly, property director at Bizspace. Managing partner McLaughlin told Green Street News: “It was not the direction of travel that we anticipated when we launched last year but it became the right time and the right place. Since we got involved in the journey in the acquisition of the Cromwell European platform by Stoneweg and Icona Capital, end 2024, it became apparent that there was a more strategic role for MC Property to play within the new structure and strategy for both Stoneweg and Icona.” “The objective is to grow the €8bn real assets platform, utilizing a unique combination of a full-service investment manager with specialist sector and local expertise on the ground. The local teams have the knowledge, the history, and the development capabilities, and this is what we are integrating into the Stoneweg Group structure, streamlining the teams and ambitions. The synergies between the two companies within the correct structure is what will set us up for growth.” **Leadership and Integration** As part of the integration, McLaughlin, Cotterell, and Zwetsloot will take on senior leadership positions within Stoneweg; Hanratty will continue to work alongside the team on the sourcing of investment opportunities; McLaughlin and Zwetsloot are based in the Netherlands, while Cotterell and Hanratty are in the UK. McLaughlin added: “The strategic direction is very clear and we’ve got three very ambitious shareholders, which have a real drive and conviction about where they want to take the platform. That was the defining element for joining and seeing how the MCP team skillset and experience can leverage off the exceptional platform that’s already there.” Jaume Sabater, CEO of Stoneweg, added: “We are thrilled to welcome the MC Property team to the Stoneweg Group. Their deep industry expertise and hands-on experience in real estate investment and asset management will be instrumental in strengthening our platform and expanding our presence across key markets.” **Spotlight on Strategy** The MC Property team, whose capital partners have included Blackstone, Cerberus, Goldman Sachs, and Carlyle, said last year that it would provide investment, asset, and development management for institutional, private equity, and high-net-worth investors. The firm’s focus is on value-add and opportunistic investments in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany through the development of logistics facilities, office buildings, and infrastructure mobility hubs, which combine physical infrastructure, energy, storage, and electric charging. “The objective is to grow the €8bn real assets platform, utilizing a unique combination of a full-service Investment manager with specialist sector and local expertise on the ground.” — MARK MCLAUGHLIN, MC PROPERTY McLaughlin added: “The process from entering as a strategic adviser to becoming a fully integrated part of the business was turbocharged in the past few weeks. In terms of strategy, it was all the things that MCP was looking to do – from the mobility hubs, the electrification, and the infrastructure side of things to all things industrial, logistics, and office. The additional element is that Stoneweg is much more focused on living, hospitality, and other sectors, which really creates a unique platform and opportunity for us.” Stoneweg, which was co-founded by Sabater and Joaquin Castellvi in 2015, has been very acquisitive in recent months as it aims to grow its real assets portfolio, which is valued at more than €8bn, following the acquisition of €3.9bn of assets under management from Cromwell. After closing the Cromwell Europe deal, which gives the buyer access to 160 assets and 1,600 tenants, with 14 local offices in 12 European countries, Stoneweg announced in January that it had entered the residential sector in Switzerland. The investment was made through a majority stake in Lausanne-based developer and fund manager Fundim, which oversees more than CHF400m (€426m) in assets across multiple regulated investment vehicles. **Global Exposure** Through the acquisitions, Stoneweg, which has employees across 15 European countries, the US, and Singapore, is also building a global platform. McLaughlin stated: “Further to the acquisition by Stoneweg, Cromwell goes from a more northern-focused investment manager to a true pan-European one, with exposure from Singapore through Stoneweg European REIT (SERT), and a presence in the US with the multi-family living platform that Stoneweg Group has there. It really creates a global platform, so we’re joining an organization that enables us to reach that goal more effectively.” Stoneweg’s portfolio comprises equity and debt investments in the European and US living, light industrial, logistics, hospitality, office, and cultural and leisure sectors. In 2023, Stoneweg kicked off the leisure strategy “Stoneweg Places & Experiences”, which followed the launch of Stoneweg Hospitality in 2021. A year ago, the Swiss firm entered the UK through Stoneweg InfraSport, a partnership between Stoneweg and Teras Capital. The joint venture acquired the former Emerge Surf development site in Birmingham from IM Properties, with an investment of around £50m. Current MC Property clients and mandates will remain active and managed by the dedicated team members until the tasks at hand have been finalized, and the acquisition will not have any modifications on current business, Green Street News understands. McLaughlin concluded: “As the acquisition and integration went quickly, it is important for us to deliver a smooth transition over the next two to three months, with our existing mandates providing our trusted capital partners exposure to different markets and sectors.” [Source](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mark-mclaughlin-9a98335_green-street-news-article-stoneweg-takes-activity-7298705119427088384-jCK7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC02kHQB_cTh7hWEWwtqt1OjkXn967lwSPI) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The pre-fabricated houses — made by Gebbia’s startup, Samara — will first go to low-income residents whose properties burned in Altadena and Pacific Palisades neighborhoods, according to a statement. The Samara homes can be built in as little as five months and require only weeks to install. The homes will be 100% funded, including installation costs. The effort is being coordinated by Steadfast LA, a nonprofit started by billionaire mall developer Rick Caruso to help rebuild the city. “This initiative is about keeping communities intact,” said Caruso, whose family foundation will also provide funding for the housing. “We’re giving these victims a realistic way to stay on their properties and quickly return to their lives at a time when the deck is stacked against them.” Last month’s wildfires killed at least 29 people and destroyed 16,000 structures, including 11,000 single-family homes. Economists at the University of California at Los Angeles estimated this month that total property and capital losses from the fires will be as much as $164 billion. Gebbia, 43, joined Tesla’s board in 2022 and is worth $9.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The New York Times reported last week he is joining Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, which is aggressively cutting government jobs, spending and contracts under President Donald Trump. Gebbia launched Samara soon after leaving Airbnb full-time in 2022. The company builds and sells affordable, small homes for installation in backyards. “So many people are faced with unbelievable circumstances. We want to help them get back home,” Gebbia said in the statement. Samara’s homes for fire victims would be two-bedroom, two-bath models measuring about 950 square feet (88 square meters) that are listed for $261,000, excluding installation costs, according to the firm’s website. About 600 lots in the Altadena area had homes of comparable size, Caruso said. The units, which are manufactured in Mexico, cost about $275 a square foot. Custom-built homes can cost roughly $1,500 per square foot to rebuild in the fire areas, though the use of merchant builders would bring that down significantly, according to a report this week from UCLA. Samara is counting on Steadfast LA to help streamline the building approval process, according to Mike McNamara, Samara’s chief executive officer. “We’re hopeful working with Steadfast LA to actually take it the next level and maybe make some permanent California housing policy changes,” McNamara said.

Commercial real estate is a $20 trillion industry that, to date, has relied on a series of repetitive and manual tasks to complete transactions. Henry AI is on a mission to take commercial real estate out of the stone age, automating this work and empowering commercial real estate professionals to be more efficient and relationship-focused. Susa Ventures and 1Sharpe Ventures co-led the funding round. Additional investors include: RXR, Arden Venture Arms, Singularity Capital, Unwritten Ventures, Coalition Operators, Pioneer Fund, Orange Collective and Storyhouse ventures. Bill.com’s head of product Rami Essaid, Truebill.com founder Yahya Mokhtarzada, ROOM founder Brian Chen and Slack’s chief strategy officer Joe Teplow also participated. Henry AI is a Y Combinator-backed company. “As a former commercial real estate analyst, I spent countless hours creating marketing decks for property listings and it was the most mind numbing exercise on the planet. If I had a tool that could quickly generate professional-grade marketing materials and streamline all the backend research, I could have focused on closing more deals,” said Sammy Greenwall, co-founder and CEO of Henry AI. “Henry AI is doing just that — automating the time-intensive tasks that have traditionally slowed us down and delivering polished marketing materials in minutes, not weeks. This allows professionals to focus on what matters most: growing relationships and closing deals. We’re at the forefront of this opportunity and welcome this new funding in support of our mission.” “Through our investment in Henry AI, we are excited to support their unique approach to leveraging AI technology in the commercial real estate industry,” said Misha Gordon-Rowe, Partner, Susa Ventures. “We believe that Sammy and Adam’s vision and expertise will change the way real estate professionals operate, creating new opportunities and efficiencies in this dynamic market.” Several national brokerages, including from 5 of the top 10 in the U.S., are already leveraging Henry AI. Before using Henry AI, analysts at these brokerages were spending 50 percent of their time researching market data, analyzing property trends, and manually building marketing decks for property listings. Henry AI condenses this time-consuming work into clean, polished marketing materials and detailed financial analyses within minutes, drastically reducing the time required to prepare for deals and freeing up analysts to focus on high-value client interactions. **About Henry AI** Henry AI is an AI analyst for commercial real estate on a mission to equip brokers with ‘superpowers’, enabling them to close more deals and increase earnings.

Reneo combines an end-to-end technology platform with vast expertise in real estate asset management. The company has secured €45 million in equity financing from top European investment funds such as Eurazeo, Lakestar and Foundamental, the family businesses Goldbeck and Bauwens as well as renowned business angels such as like Stefan Wiskemann and Fabian & Ferry Heilemann. The funds were raised through several capital increases: while the most recent Series B financing round was led by Eurazeo, Lakestar took the lead in the previous Series A. **Asset financing relationships** With the residential market gaining momentum and a robust outlook offering compelling investor value, Reneo is pleased to announce the formation of an asset management and operating joint venture with Peakside Capital, an independent, owner-operated real estate investment manager. This partnership comes in addition to an existing senior financing arrangement Reneo has in place with Goldman Sachs. Through the new joint venture, Reneo will partner with Peakside to deploy around €500 million in debt and equity to upgrade and enhance the energy efficiency of multi-family houses. Reneo will leverage its real estate expertise and technology-led, programmatic approach to comprehensively modernise buildings with poor energy efficiency in a scalable and cost-efficient way, substantially lowering their carbon footprint and energy consumption, while supporting cost savings for tenants and unlocking value-add potential for investors. At the same time, it will convert under-utilised spaces into modern, efficient living environments that meet growing demand for housing. **Accelerating the path to net zero: Decarbonising the housing market** Addressing the environmental challenge of decarbonising the real estate market is vital if assets are to comply with EU Taxonomy and the EU is to achieve net zero buildings by 2050. Despite the significant interest from institutional capital to invest in green buildings, there is a lack of suitable supply. With more than 50% of all residential assets in Germany rated as energy efficient poor (EPC rating E or worse), Reneo sees a significant opportunity in the brown-to-green transition of the existing building stock. Achieving up to 30-60% reduction in energy consumption, Reneo’s technology-driven solution significantly lowers operational costs for asset owners and tenants. **Leading the decarbonisation megatrend with proprietary technology** Reneo’s unique end-to-end management platform, the Reneo Core System (“RCS”), analyses a vast array of property data and uses machine learning to identify in a matter of seconds the best transformation strategy for each asset, optimizing factors such as energy savings potential, construction costs, government subsidies and associated economic uplift. The state-of-the-art technology makes the green transformation scalable, cost effective and deliverable. “We are investors in mind – climate stewards at heart”, says says Founder and Co-CEO Lennart Börner. “Reneo is the only player tackling decarbonisation with a holistic lens, turning climate challenges into investor opportunities. With Germany’s real estate sector ripe for transformation, we see immense potential to drive both climate impact and economic value.” Founder and Co-CEO Alexander Graubner-Müller adds: “Our end-to-end solution streamlines the entire green building journey and combined with our outstanding track record, makes us the go-to partner for those who want to maximise both sustainability and returns. We are excited to team up with such strong partners who share our vision for a greener future.” Since 2020, Reneo has bought and sold well above €500 million of assets across its platform. In 2024, Reneo successfully invested over €200 million, further solidifying its presence in the real estate sector. Highlights include the acquisition of more than 600 units totalling roughly 40.000 sqm in Berlin and Hamburg. Reneo plans to deploy significant capital over the next 24 months to drive the green transition of the housing sector. Boris Schran, Partner at Peakside, commented, “Real estate is one of the few remaining sectors where the challenge of decarbonisation and meeting net zero targets is yet to be fully addressed. After a thorough market screening in order to find the best partner for this endeavour, we are excited to partner with Reneo’s state-of-the art technology and real estate management expertise to meet this challenge, and return to the sector with positive sentiment.” Pierre Devillard, Partner and Raphael Cattan, Investment Director at Eurazeo, said: “Our strategic investment in Reneo through the Smart City Fund II aligns with our commitment to drive tech-enabled sustainable and innovative urban transformation solutions with high growth potential. We are excited to partner with Reneo in their endeavour to streamline the process of decarbonising real estate holistically. We hope to support Reneo in bringing its unique technology across Europe in the coming years.” [Source](https://reneo.de/en/reneo-secures-600-million-to-lead-the-decarbonisation-of-germanys-residential-real-estate/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

(NYSE: BRDG) (“Bridge” or the “Company”) today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Apollo to acquire Bridge in an all-stock transaction with an equity value of approximately $1.5 billion. Founded in 2009, Bridge is an established leader in residential and industrial real estate as well as other specialized real estate asset classes. Led by an experienced senior leadership team and over 300 dedicated investment professionals with significant real estate investment and operating expertise, Bridge’s forward-integrated model, nationwide operating platform and data-driven approach have fostered organic growth and consistently produced desirable outcomes across asset classes. Bridge will provide Apollo with immediate scale to its real estate equity platform and enhance Apollo’s origination capabilities in both real estate equity and credit, which is expected to benefit Apollo’s growing suite of hybrid and real estate product offerings. Bridge manages approximately $50 billion of high-quality AUM in real estate products targeting both institutional and wealth clients and is expected to be highly synergistic with Apollo’s existing real estate equity strategies and leading real estate credit platform. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Apollo’s fee-related earnings upon closing. Apollo Partner and Co-Head of Equity David Sambur said, “We are pleased to announce this transaction with Bridge, which is highly aligned with Apollo’s strategic focus on expanding our origination base in areas of our business that are growing but not yet at scale. Led by a respected real estate team including Executive Chairman Bob Morse and CEO Jonathan Slager, Bridge brings a seasoned team with deep expertise and a strong track record in their sectors. Their business will complement and further augment our existing real estate capabilities, and we believe we can help scale Bridge’s products by leveraging the breadth of our integrated platform. We look forward to working with Bob and the talented Bridge team as we seek to achieve the strategic objectives we laid out at our recent Investor Day.” Bridge Executive Chairman Bob Morse said, “We are proud to be joining Apollo and its industry-leading team, who share our commitment to performance and excellence. This transaction will allow the Bridge and Apollo teams to grow on the strong foundation that Bridge has built since 2009 as we work to pursue meaningful value and impact for our investors and communities. With Apollo’s global integrated platform, resources, innovation and established expertise, we are confident that Bridge will be positioned for the next phase of growth amid growing demand across the alternative investments space.” **Transaction Details** Under the terms of the transaction, Bridge stockholders and Bridge OpCo unitholders will receive, at closing, 0.07081 shares of Apollo stock for each share of Bridge Class A common stock and each Bridge OpCo Class A common unit, respectively, valued by the parties at $11.50 per each share of Bridge Class A common stock and Bridge OpCo Class A common unit, respectively. Upon the closing of the transaction, Bridge will operate as a standalone platform within Apollo’s asset management business, retaining its existing brand, management team and dedicated capital formation team. Bob Morse will become an Apollo Partner and lead Apollo’s real estate equity franchise. A special committee of independent directors for Bridge (the “Special Committee”), advised by its own independent legal and financial advisors, reviewed, negotiated and unanimously recommended approval of the merger agreement by the Bridge Board of Directors, determining that it was in the best interests of Bridge and its stockholders not affiliated with Bridge management and directors. Acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Bridge Board of Directors approved the merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature, including approval by a majority of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Bridge, voting together and the receipt of regulatory approvals. Certain members of Bridge management and their affiliates, collectively owning approximately 51.4% of the outstanding voting power of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Bridge, have entered into voting agreements in connection with the transaction and have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction in accordance with the terms therein. Subject to and upon completion of the transaction, shares of Bridge common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Bridge will become a privately held company. Further information regarding terms and conditions contained in the definitive merger agreement will be made available in Bridge’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed in connection with this transaction. **Bridge Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Earnings** Bridge will no longer be holding its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 earnings conference call and webcast scheduled for February 25, 2025, due to the pending transaction. **Advisors** BofA Securities, Citi, Goldman, Sachs & Co.

This powerful combination brings together two industry pioneers to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven digital twin technology across the global real estate landscape. “CoStar Group and Matterport have long shared a vision of digitizing the real estate industry, and today, we officially unite to realize that future together,” said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Matterport’s cutting-edge 3D capture and AI-powered property insights have already transformed how residential and commercial properties are marketed and experienced. By integrating Matterport’s groundbreaking digital twin technology with our vast property data and online marketplaces, we are creating an unparalleled solution for buyers, sellers, and renters to explore properties with greater depth and insight than ever before.” Matterport pioneered 3D digital twins, enabling property owners, buyers, and renters to experience properties with immersive accuracy from anywhere in the world.

As the demand for remote property exploration and data-driven decision-making continues to grow, this merger positions the combined company at the forefront of the next generation of real estate technology. The opportunity ahead is vast—there are more than four billion residential and commercial buildings on the planet, roughly twice as many as there are websites on the internet today. Yet, the vast majority of these spaces remain largely undigitized. With the property sector representing a $327 trillion asset class—the largest in the world by several times—the need for accurate, data-driven insights has never been greater. Together, CoStar Group and Matterport are poised to lead this digital transformation, bringing AI-powered intelligence, 3D digital twins, and next-generation property insights to every corner of the built world.

[ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) Shared 27 February, 2024 ![How is New York redefining the future of work?](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/smart-spaces-1.png) A new report, NYC: HQ of the World – State of the Market, unveils how New York City is transforming the global workplace landscape, setting the standard for the future of commercial real estate. The report, based on insights from 15 industry leaders and extensive market data, highlights key trends shaping the city’s office market, including the rise of hybrid work, the flight to quality, and the rapid adoption of smart building technologies. “New York’s strength has always been its ability to attract talent,” explains Kristen Edgreen Kaufman of the Carnegie Council for International Affairs. “A-team players always want to be with other A-team players.” This enduring magnetism is reflected in the report’s findings, with sectors like healthcare, information, and professional services experiencing double-digit employment growth since 2019. The written report is paired with a 30 minute documentary, detailing extensive interviews and discussions with 15 experts from across the commercial real estate and workplace sector. Key Findings from the Report: - Hybrid is Here to Stay: 58% of Manhattan office workers are back in the office on an average weekday, with 44% following a three-day hybrid schedule. - Flight to Quality: Trophy Class buildings have seen an 11% increase in occupancy, while Class B and C properties have experienced an 8% decline. - Technology Transformation: 50% of occupiers have adopted in-office collaboration tools, while 48% have invested in health and wellbeing technologies. - Sustainability Imperative: Driven by Local Law 97, 45% of organizations plan to implement energy/emissions management systems within three years. - Retrofitting Challenge: With new supply slowing, the focus has shifted to upgrading existing building stock to meet modern standards. “The future of the workplace will be built upon technology enablement,” says Peter Miscovich of JLL. “We’ve come to a new threshold with the introduction of generative AI and artificial intelligence. We forecast that AI enablement and future technology enablement will make the workplace smarter, much more intelligent, much more human centric.” The report and documentary emphasizes that success in this evolving market depends on creating workplaces that offer more than just a desk. From wellness amenities to cutting-edge technology and sustainable design, the most desirable offices now prioritize experience, efficiency, and environmental impact. **A Market in Transition, A City That Leads** Despite ongoing challenges, New York’s resilience remains unmatched. As Julia Hobsbawm explains, “this is a moment of transition. And the one thing I’d say about New York is New York does transition and turbulence and change so well.” With leasing activity totaling 23.1 million square feet in 2023—still 34% below the previous decade’s average but trending upward—the market shows signs of stabilization. As Vijay Jesrani of JLL puts it: “New York survived everything. We survived September 11th, the pandemic… We’re always going to survive and thrive.” Download the full report here: Watch the documentary in full here: **Media Contact:** Correy Faccini Head of Marketing Smart Spaces +44 7903879469 c.faccini@smartspaces.app **About Smart Spaces** Smart Spaces is the multi-accredited and award-winning smart building operating system.

Ed, based in London, and Richard, in Birmingham, were previously senior directors at JLL National Industrial and Logistics and each has 20 years’ experience in the sector. Incore will utilise their extensive track records and impressive contact books to capitalise on the next market upturn. Incore will operate as a dedicated director-only service covering the national bigger box market with a physical presence in the core South and Midlands regions. They believe the blend of senior experience and geographical spread offers a clear point of difference in the world of niche agencies and something that landlord and developer clients will see great benefit in. With the logistics market as a whole experiencing something of a hangover in 2023 and 2024 from the heady days of the post pandemic world, the pair firmly believe the timing is now right to help clients prosper again as the market improves, said Ed. He added: “We are really excited to launch Incore at this point in the cycle, where we believe we can utilise our accumulated market knowledge and relationship network to add real value for our clients. As the market moves into a new phase full of opportunity but not yet free of challenges, we believe our offering of highly experienced, hands-on advice can be a valuable source to both familiar and new clients in the sector.” Richard said: “It is very exciting to bring Incore to the market, providing clients a unique niche agency offering with director-led advice from both Birmingham and London and an entrepreneurial energy.” Ed spent 16 years at JLL, becoming head of national logistics in 2018. He has advised on some of the UK’s largest and most successful logistics development projects including Magna Park Milton Keynes, Prologis DIRFT and Panattoni Park Aylesford. In recent years he has also acted on some of London’s standout leasing transactions at Panattoni Borehamwood to Sky Studios, USS’s Bromley-by-Bow to DPD and at Powerhouse Dartford. Richard has spent the last seven years at JLL, where he led the Midlands industrial and logistics teams. He has advised on multiple key Midlands development projects, including the strategic rail freight project at West Midlands Interchange, Prologis DIRFT, and the award-winning Coventry Logistics Park.

In 2024, the Foundation awarded a total of $4.75 million in new, zero-interest loans to 18 companies, helping them contribute to a more sustainable future and filling a crucial gap in early-stage funding. Circularity is key to JLL Foundation’s model, as all funds returned from loans granted are invested into new loans, creating a virtuous cycle. A record number of loans were repaid in 2024, equating to just under $1.5 million, strengthening and expanding the potential for future loan opportunities. The Foundation’s 2024 graduate companies have attracted $49.4 million in additional funding to date, a testament to the viability of their technical and business models. “We continue to be encouraged by the success of JLL Foundation loan recipients and the meaningful impact they are driving – whether that be decarbonizing the building sector, engaging in waste reduction, reducing water consumption or driving social impact,” said JLL Foundation Chair, Trish Maxson. “It’s a privilege to play a part in the circular process that allows us to fuel the next generation of early-stage, climate impacting startups and watch them thrive.” The 2024 JLL Foundation loan recipients join a group of 47 companies that have received $11.7 million in 49 loans over the lifetime of the Foundation. The 2024 loan recipients are building a clean economy, creating green jobs and transforming food, packaging and agricultural systems. Each company is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, 89% are directly decarbonizing the built environment, 50% are reducing waste, 28% are driving social impact and 22% are reducing water consumption. Companies receiving loans operated in 11 countries in 2024, expanding JLL Foundation’s impact into Brazil, India, Senegal and Uganda. The impact of the Foundation’s investment varies greatly based on the needs of each company. To highlight a few of the 2024 recipients, the Foundation’s loans are helping: - Mycocycle, a biotechnology startup using fungi to transform construction waste into low-carbon raw materials for the built environment, develop its next generation MYCOntainer™. - Novoloop, an upcycler transforming hard-to-recycle plastics into useful materials with a small carbon footprint, pursue its global expansion strategy. - Solarbox, an electric mobility and energy company, provide a sustainable transportation and energy solution for the African market with locally assembled utility electric vehicles. - Cyanoskin, a carbon capture technology transforming buildings into CO2-absorbing structures using an algae-based coating, develop its technology for market. - Courageous Land, an agroforester reforesting degraded landscapes, accelerate its technological development, fieldwork, pilot programs and preparation, for scale. With the launch of the 2024 Annual Report, JLL has also named Erin Meezan as the Executive Director of the JLL Foundation, effective January 1, 2025. In this role, Meezan will work closely with Maxson and the rest of the JLL Foundation Board to advance the Foundation’s goals, lead its strategic direction, and accelerate its impact on climate change through investments in emerging sustainable technologies. Meezan will maintain her role as Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) of JLL. Her expertise in sustainability strategy and experience engaging with key stakeholders uniquely position her to lead the Foundation’s vision and investment decisions. “JLL Foundation’s efforts are a natural extension of JLL’s sustainability commitments, as we strive to shape the future of real estate for a better world,” said Meezan. “I am inspired by the creative, new approaches taken by these early-stage companies focused on climate change mitigation, and the results we will be able to achieve together.” To learn more about the JLL Foundation’s impact, read the JLL Foundation 2024 Annual Report here. **About JLL Foundation** JLL Foundation is dedicated to impacting climate change now and in the future.

The transaction is expected to close within the first quarter of 2025. Founded in 2005, Lucas Fox has established one of Spain’s largest and most recognised real estate businesses, playing a key role in the country’s most important markets. With gross revenues exceeding 30 million euros (including franchising), the company employs more than 250 professionals, operating across Spain from its headquarters in Barcelona and offices in key cities including Madrid, Valencia, and prime lifestyle destinations such as the Costa Brava, Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Dils, a leading European real estate group headquartered in Italy, focuses on driving the transformation of the real estate sector through digital innovation and technology. The company has outlined a significant investment plan for Spain, aiming to accelerate growth and transform the residential sector, with a focus on new developments, while also expanding into commercial real estate services, including offices, retail, logistics, and hospitality. The goal is to grow the team countrywide to approximately 400 people over the next three years. Madrid is also a primary focus, with plans to strengthen its presence in the city through substantial investments and by attracting top professionals and talent. The strategic partnership with Lucas Fox enables Dils to introduce its unique business model to Spain, having been developed in the Italian market and successfully exported to the Netherlands and Portugal. The focus is on strong innovation-oriented expertise and the ability to anticipate market trends in various real estate asset classes, thanks to a team of highly experienced professionals and the use of advanced digital technologies. To this end, Dils will leverage its in-house Transformation Team of 70 professionals specialising in Technology, Marketing & Digital, Graphic Design 3D Visual, Research & Data. According to Dils’ Team Research, from 2019 to 2023 there has been an average of 560,000 residential transactions annually and in 2024, the Spanish residential market recorded 642,000 transactions, marking the third-highest figure in history. The residential markets of Madrid and Barcelona are among the most dynamic in Europe, with strong prospective for future growth in values and the Spanish coastline continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for international lifestyle buyers, with growing interest from non-European buyers. Spain presents significant potential across major commercial asset classes, with nearly 60 billion euros of investments recorded in the last five years, including 14 billion euros in 2024. As one of Europe’s most attractive real estate investment destinations in 2025, it continues to see strong demand. The hospitality sector remains a key focus, driven by Spain’s robust tourism industry and the country is a prime destination for private capital and UHNWI investment, especially from Northern European, US and Latin America. “We are very proud to welcome the exceptional team of talented professionals, who have worked to make Lucas Fox a market leader in residential real estate in Spain”, stated Giuseppe Amitrano, Group CEO of Dils. “The strategic partnership we have signed marks a key milestone for Dils in consolidating our international expansion plan initiated in 2023. Our collaboration with Lucas Fox and ongoing expansion makes Dils an independent and innovative player at a European level with a multidisciplinary team of over 600 people in four countries and revenues expected in excess of 100 million euros. Our attitude when entering new markets is to offer best-in-class services to our clients, combining local expertise with our insights, competencies, and technologies. The goal is to continue with our investment and consolidation program in the countries where we are present (Netherlands, Portugal and Spain in addition to Italy) and to expand in other countries such as France, Germany, Poland and the UK, to become a new independent, smart, and alternative player in the European real estate market”. Alexander Vaughan, cofounding partner of Lucas Fox, added: “The partnership with Dils represents a new and exciting chapter for Lucas Fox Over the years, we have built a leading company in the Spanish luxury real estate sector and earned a solid reputation, both for the professionalism of our people and the best-in-class service we offer to our clients.

Founded by Kristoffer Gjerde, Thomas Kristiansen, and Gunnar Windsand Sem in 2022, Installer is building Shopify for the renewable asset supply chain. Whilst many companies are busy inventing the next ground-breaking EV charger, battery or heat pump, over 70 per cent of customers consider installation a crucial part of their product experience. Installer optimises the complex, labour-intensive installation and maintenance process via a data-driven, AI-enhanced platform that matches jobs with installer companies. As a backend infrastructure, it powers collaboration by integrating smart job dispatch, tailored processes, and a digital, white-labelled end-customer experience. The in-platform AI reduces the workload for installers and ensures they receive the proper training to handle renewable assets well “Our mission is to speed up the deployment of renewable technologies by eliminating hurdles,” says Installer CEO Gunnar W Sem. “We provide companies with instant access to skilled installers, allowing them to scale fast and cost-efficiently.” Operating in stealth mode until now, Installer has partnerships with industry leaders across 21 markets — for example partnering with Easee, Europe’s top home EV charging solutions provider; Sungrow, a $10 billion global leader in photovoltaic systems, batteries, and EV charging; Coop, Norway’s largest heat pump provider, installing over 10,000 units annually; and Tibber, a major European energy provider and renewable hardware innovator. “Our goal is to become the leading platform for installer collaboration,” says Sem. “By partnering with other amazing companies that produce and sell innovative products, we can collectively push these technologies to reach consumers more efficiently.” With fresh funding and a dedicated team, Installer plans to expand its presence in key European markets, including Scandinavia, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and France.

The round was led by Eos Ventures, with participation from Wayra (the innovation arm of Telefonica), Second Century Ventures, and continued support from The FSE Group (through the South West Investment Fund). Existing angels including Simon Rogerson and Chris Hulatt, founders of Octopus Group, also took part in the round. “We’re thrilled to have the support of such incredible investors as we expand our vision. With Eos Ventures’ expertise in financial technology, we’re well-positioned to provide complex services delivered in a straightforward way, helping people throughout their lives,” said Ross Nichols, Co-founder. Founded in 2015 by Tom Old and Ross Nichols, Just Move In is the UK’s “largest provider of Home Setup services“, offering a streamlined way to manage essential services like home insurance and broadband when moving home. Since its last funding round in 2022, Just Move In has experienced exponential growth, expanding its operations and is projected to process over 400k home moves in 2025. With the strategic backing of Eos Ventures, the new funding will help accelerate Just Move In’s plans to evolve beyond home moves, expanding directly into embedded financial services. This expansion will simplify processes such as securing credit and accessing a range of insurance products. According to the company, while comparison sites offer choice, they often create a fragmented and time-consuming experience for users. Just Move In’s platform aims to streamline this process, offering a single, user-friendly interface for managing multiple services – from utilities to insurance – eliminating the need for repeated data entry across various websites. Just Move In works with property giants like Openrent (the biggest letting agency in the UK) and Hamptons, but have added the likes of Alto (owned by Houseful, formerly known as Zoopla Property Group) and Anyvan as clients, too. James Tootell, Partner at Eos Ventures, said: “Just Move In’s innovative approach to combining home services with financial products represents the future of consumer-focused FinTech. Their remarkable growth, coupled with the ability to consistently broaden their service offerings while maintaining industry-leading customer satisfaction, showcases the team’s exceptional strategic vision and operational excellence. We’re thrilled to support Just Move In as they expand their services and continue to support customers navigate key life events.” Building on its UK success, Just Move In is setting its sights on becoming Europe’s first unicorn in the home move and financial services sector. “We’ve always believed in simplifying life’s most stressful moments, and this funding round is a testament to the impact we’ve made,” said Nichols. “Our goal is to be the partner people turn to for life’s biggest financial decisions, from their first move to their retirement home.” [Source](https://www.eu-startups.com/2025/02/helping-you-move-just-move-in-secures-e7-6-million-for-home-financial-services/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Former EG editor and well-known advocate for the real estate sector Samantha McClary will take up the role from 6 May. She succeeds Richard Kauntze, who has held the position for over 25 years, guiding the BCO through transformative growth and evolution. During Kauntze’s time as chief executive, the BCO’s membership has grown from 585 to more than 4,000. NextGen members (those who are 35 and under) now represent over a quarter of the BCO’s membership as a whole. McClary has more than 20 years’ experience in the real estate sector, championing and challenging it through the pages of one of the sector’s core publications, Estates Gazette. In her new role, McClary will seek to build on Kauntze’s achievements by working to grow the BCO’s membership further and to amplify its role as a guiding light for the workspace sector. Samantha McClary, incoming Chief Executive, British Council for Offices, said: “The workplace has been through such a transformation, accelerated by Covid, but remains such an important element of our built environment. Where and how we work plays a vital role in building community. Our workplaces have a unique ability to bring people together, to enable innovation and collaboration. How we design and build these spaces has a phenomenal impact on people and the planet. “It is vital that we support this important industry and make sure that everyone understands the role it plays in supporting economic growth, in creating community and in helping solve the climate crisis. This is why I’m excited and honoured to be taking up this role and to be working with the BCO Presidential team and the whole of the BCO membership to ensure the UK workspace sector leads and gets the recognition it deserves.” Richard Kauntze, Chief Executive, British Council for Offices, said: “It has been an honour and a pleasure to hold the role of chief executive of the BCO for more than 25 years. I am delighted to be handing over the reins to Sam, and I know that she will do an excellent job of guiding the organisation through the years to come. It is a real testament to the strength and ingenuity of our membership that the BCO has continued to grow and adapt in response to challenges such as the financial crisis, hybrid working, and, more recently, the rise of AI. The office continues to play a vital role in the greater ecosystem of towns and cities, and it is with anticipation and excitement that I will be watching this new chapter for the BCO unfold under the leadership of its new chief executive and formidable presidential team.” Peter Crowther, President, British Council for Offices, said: “Sam has been at the forefront of the sector for years, not just working to champion the best of its achievements but working to challenge its limits and seek out avenues for progress where needed. I look forward to working alongside Sam as we continue the BCO’s work of helping the sector achieve its best. My heartfelt thanks go to Richard for his years of service to the BCO, a sentiment which I know is shared by the wider membership. Richard has been synonymous with the BCO for as long as I can remember and his tireless work has been instrumental in seeing the organisation grow and establish its place as a rigorous and respected source of guidance, support and progress.” As a leading advocate for diversity, inclusion and talent, McClary will also seek to further grow the BCO’s NextGen membership and activities, with a focus on collaboration across sectors to ensure the future of the real estate sector remains in safe hands and continues to deliver the places our businesses, people and planet deserve. **Media contact** ING Media BCO@ing-media.com T: + 44 (0) 20 7247 8334 **About the BCO** The British Council for Offices’ (BCO) mission is to research, develop and communicate best practice in all aspects of the office sector.

This investment will accelerate our mission to redefine how enterprises leverage Conversational AI to enhance customer engagement, particularly in the sales of complex products that typically require a high-touch approach. The round was led by Serena and Daphni, with support from seasoned Enterprise software leaders including Houman Behzadi (Executive VP @C3 AI), Julien Bellanger (ex-CEO @ Prevoty), Raphael Simon (ex-CTO @ Shine.fr), and Dave Kellogg (ex-CEO of HostAnalytics & ex-SVP at Salesforce). Founded in early 2024 by AI veterans Philippe Wellens, Adrien Mathieu, and Louis Poirier, Kleio’s leadership team brings over 30 years of AI experience across products, sales, and technology, and held pivotal roles at C3 AI in Europe and in the US. **A Next-Generation Conversational AI for Complex Sales Journeys** We focus on transforming complex sales journeys with AI-powered features like natural language interactions, deep understanding of the customers’ intents, lead qualification and product recommendation, sales lead prioritization, sales workflow automation and intelligent routing to streamline complex purchasing and customer service processes. Unlike companies adapting legacy chat systems to Generative AI, or providing one-size-fits-all solutions, Kleio’s technology is purpose-built for industries with intricate product offerings that demand a personal touch. Key sectors include real estate, energy, cosmetics, automotive, financial services, and travel. With seamless integration, scalability, and personalized solutions at its core, we help enterprises boost sales conversions and drive revenue growth. **A Powerful System to Bridge the Gap in the Challenging Customer Journeys** Listening closely to our design partners, we recognized a gap in the market for a next-generation Conversational AI platform tailored to complex enterprise needs. In response, we developed a powerful system with over 30 specialized AI agents working together to automate complex customer interactions. The platform is built on a unique knowledge engine that blends advanced data technologies, including graphs, semantics, and structured databases – enabling enterprises in B2C industries to better leverage their data and simplify long, complex purchasing journeys. Our clients like Showroomprivé, Effy, and Havas Voyages are already experiencing the impact of our platform. Havas Voyages saw a 200% surge in web leads, conducted tens of thousands of personalized sales conversations, and generated thousands of qualified leads in just three months, all while converting prospects through AI in under two minutes. “We have been captivated by Kleio’s vision to redefine customer experience with Conversational AI,” said David Dayan, CEO of Showroomprivé.com. “Their platform unlocks new possibilities for elevated customer experiences with hyper-personalization, and significant sales growth for Showroomprivé,” added Nicolas Gerbal, Director Travel & Leisure at Showroomprivé.com. **Accelerating Growth and Expansion in 2025** With €3M in fresh funding, we plan to enhance our platform by increasing the number and skills of our AI agents, integrating with more Enterprise systems, and training benchmark-leading AI models for sales. “Our goal is to provide enterprises with an AI platform to create tailored, intuitive, data-driven buying experiences that outperform in-store interactions,” said Philippe Wellens, Co-Founder and CEO of Kleio. “We position ourselves as long-term partners, continuously enhancing customer experiences for brands and delivering measurable boosts in sales results. We’re also technological partners for other sales-related use cases such as augmentation of internal sales teams, lead nurturing and lead scoring.” We’re also setting our sights on new markets as a part of its 2025 expansion strategy.

In response, Norwegian proptech startup Telescope is helping the European real estate industry move sustainability risk from a compliance checkbox to a strategic advantage. Today, the company announced that it has raised €3.7 million Seed funding to expand its reach. Telescope is not the only company that monitors climate risks such as flooding, storm vulnerabilities, and fire-prone areas. However, as Haaland shared, managing sustainability risks for real estate assets is traditionally complex and time-consuming. “In every conversation I have, real estate owners tell me the same thing – they’re drowning in ESG reports, consultant slide decks, and EU acronyms, yet they’re still asking: ‘What does this actually mean for my buildings?’ We’re not here to add more paperwork. Unlike existing solutions, Telescope turns sustainability from an abstract compliance risk into tangible, financially driven decisions.” Telescope has developed a SaaS platform that enables real estate companies to manage sustainability risks efficiently and affordably, encompassing a variety of metrics. Customers simply onboard their real estate assets by entering property addresses, and the platform gathers relevant geographical information to assess physical climate risks. In real estate, extreme weather like flooding and fire not only cause structural damage to property within a real estate portfolio but also a drop in value and increases in insurance costs. Telescope’s platform also monitors biodiversity. According to Haaland, biodiversity risk is an emerging focus in sustainability discussions around real estate. “While climate and transition risks have been widely acknowledged, biodiversity considerations have only recently gained traction. Two or three years ago, they weren’t factored in at all.” Building or expanding upon existing properties can have a significant impact on local flora and fauna, especially endangered species. A case in point is the Tesla factory in Germany, whose expansion led to concerns over deforestation, water usage, and pollution. This not only led to expensive court cases and delays but also to reputational damage. The Telescope platform is useful for companies looking to develop new properties, and could have been used to assess biodiversity in the area before the factory was built to reduce its impact on its surroundings. According to Haaland, Governments impose strict regulations to protect natural habitats, wetlands, and agricultural land. “Many real estate firms hold large land banks, but they often lack insight into how much of their land is actually buildable under environmental constraints. Our technology aggregates data on red-listed species, vulnerable habitats, and protected areas.” Users can self-assess whether their property operations impact local biodiversity. The platform also encompasses industry-specific considerations, “For example, a café in a botanical garden may rely on local biodiversity to attract customers, making sure conservation and compliance are crucial to the health of their business.” And, as sustainability regulations and practices are always evolving, Telescope’s platform also includes energy monitoring within buildings and a comprehensive transition plan which outlines a company’s strategy for moving towards sustainability, detailing timelines, targets, and the steps undertaken to reduce its environmental impact. Haaland detailed: “A major challenge is ensuring that collected data leads to action. Traditionally, companies performed high-level assessments without enough detail to drive meaningful change. Our platform increases granularity by using national data providers in addition to broad global data. This bottom-up approach allows companies to integrate sustainability considerations into their strategic and financial planning, ensuring risks are effectively mitigated.” If not addressed, climate risks can lead to not only regulatory penalties but higher insurance premiums and increased maintenance costs. Founded in 2022, the company has grown to serve several of Norway’s largest real estate firms. In 2024, Telescope signed multiple leading real estate firms in Norway with a team of just eight people and minimal marketing spend. Now, the company is scaling its footprint, launching in Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands, while expanding its platform to serve financiers and investors in the real estate sector. The funding round is led by Scale Capital and Dreamcraft Ventures, with participation from Curiosity VC and OBOS Oppstart. The impressive growth in Norway is one of the things that has drawn a lot of attention from investors, according to Joachim Schelde, Senior Associate at Scale Capital. “What caught our attention was the team’s deep understanding of real estate owners’ pain points in identifying, assessing, and managing the sustainability risks facing their assets, such as floods, wildfires, protected species, and polluted land,” says Joachim Schelde. “Their momentum in Norway – closing multiple Tier 1 customers in record time – signals a massive opportunity to redefine how the industry approaches climate risk.” Mathilde Lyet, Principal at Dreamcraft Ventures, adds: “In a market full of generic sustainability tools, Telescope stands out with its laser focus on real estate. “Their platform quantifies both climate risks and upsides – like the threat of landslides or floods, and the ROI of energy upgrades for both owners and their tenants, enabling property owners to make financially impactful decisions, whether investing in renovations or securing green financing.” With proven impact in Norway and fresh capital secured, Telescope is helping property owners across Europe turn climate readiness from a challenge into a strategic strength.

The acquiring company is [Rocket Companies](https://www.rocketcompanies.com/), a Detroit, Michigan-based finance and real estate holding firm that owns various brands, including Rocket Mortgage, Rocket Money (formerly Truebill), and Rocket Loans. The combined entity will essentially pool the two companies’ respective strengths in home search services and financing. “Rocket and Redfin’s approaches to lending and brokerage service have always been two halves of one vision to make the whole home-buying process magical,” Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman said in a statement. “We want a customer to be able to check her phone to find out what she can afford, see which homes are just right for her, schedule a tour with a local, expert Redfin agent, and get pre-qualified for a loan, all in a matter of minutes.” Founded in Seattle in 2004, Redfin runs a residential real estate brokerage platform for the U.S. and Canadian markets. The self-proclaimed “Amazon of real estate” went public in 2017, and its shares generally traded flat at around $20 in the subsequent few years. But as with many tech companies, Redfin soared during the pandemic, with its stock hitting an all-time high of $96 in early 2021, before plummeting to below $10 for much of the past three years. Redfin’s shares had slipped more than 30% in the past couple of weeks after its Q4 2024 earnings missed analysts’ expectations and its current-quarter forecast was considered weak. Rocket Companies, for its part, went public in 2020, and today has a market cap of $31 billion. The company’s proposed bid of $12.50 per share represents a 63% premium over Redfin’s volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the month leading up to March 7, 2025. The offer entails exchanging 0.7926 shares of Rocket Companies’ Class A stock for each share of Redfin common stock, with Rocket Companies’ shareholders owning 95% of the new combined entity and Redfin shareholders owning 5%. While both boards of directors have already approved the transaction, it does still require Redfin’s shareholders to rubberstamp the deal, which Redfin says it expects to happen in Q3, 2025. Kelman, who has led Redfin since 2005, will continue at the helm and report to Rocket’s CEO, Varun Krishna.

Uniti AI’s LLM-native platform enables real estate operators across office/coworking, self-storage, multifamily, and brokerage to deploy highly customizable AI agents, tailored to their unique workflows and customer interactions. “The future operating model for real estate isn’t just human-driven or AI-driven—it’s both,” said Francesco Decamilli, Co-Founder & CEO of Uniti AI. “Uniti AI is building the agentic platform that enables real estate operators to create and deploy AI agents tailored to their workflows. We started with leasing and sales, where response speed and qualification directly impact revenue, and we’re rapidly expanding into broader operational use cases.” Clients across 10+ countries in the US, Europe, and Asia rely on Uniti AI’s highly configurable, multilingual agents to qualify leads, schedule appointments, and drive conversions.

Uniti AI ensures every lead is engaged immediately, allowing our team to focus on closing deals instead of chasing inquiries. Lili, our AI leasing agent, has become an indispensable part of our leasing strategy,” said Jason Fein, Partner at ABS Partners Real Estate, LLC. With this investment, Uniti AI will accelerate its expansion by launching AI-powered voice agents, deepening integrations with property management systems, and introducing new automation for collections, tenant support, and broader real estate workflows. **Uniti AI** Uniti AI is the leading AI agent platform built for the global commercial real estate industry.

Reshape Energy is addressing a multi-billion-euro opportunity fueled by rising energy costs and increasing regulatory pressure on European property owners. Targeting owners of property portfolios, the company simplifies the transformation of building energy performance with an all-in-one solution. By integrating assessment, planning, financing, implementation, and ongoing management and optimization, its platform enables property owners and their tenants to reduce costs, enhance property values, and achieve sustainability targets. The founding team, consisting of Alan Clifford, Andrew Goodwin, Andrew Mack, Gerard Reid, Benjamin Stanzl and Markus Wiendieck, brings extensive experience in the energy sector, having previously launched and scaled successful ventures such as the Germany business of Octopus Energy – now the UK’s largest energy retailer – and Verivox, one of Germany’s largest energy price comparison platforms. “Today’s building energy services market is fragmented and inefficient. Property owners are forced to deal with a patchwork of providers, manual processes, and limited access to financing – making energy optimization complex and costly. Our strategy is centred on acquiring and integrating businesses across the building energy services value chain to offer a one-stop-shop solution to our customers,” said Andrew Mack, CEO of Reshape Energy. “By equipping these businesses with state of the art digitalisation tools, streamlined processes, access to capital, and strategic direction, we are creating a new category of energy services company that can deliver unparalleled value to property owners.” Reshape Energy is initially focused on the German market, where it completed the acquisitions of an energy consulting business and a commercial solar planning, installation, and maintenance company. The company plans to expand its footprint across Europe in the coming years. The funding was provided by the founding team, industry insiders, PostScriptum Ventures, and Vireo Ventures, a European early-stage venture capital fund focused on electrification and digitalization. According to Mischa Wetzel, Partner at Vireo Ventures: “Reshare Energy’s deep industry expertise and commitment to sustainability align perfectly with our investment strategy. We look forward to seeing the company achieve its ambitious goals and make a significant contribution to the energy transition.” This funding round will enable Reshape Energy to complete additional acquisitions across the building energy services value chain in Germany, enhance its technology platform capabilities to drive operational efficiency and maintain high-quality standards, and scale its commercial offering to capture market demand.

Following a successful pilot, Greystar rolled out Watergate’s technology across three buildings in London’s Chapter Islington, uncovering inefficiencies, preventing water damage, and delivering measurable cost savings. **Major savings and sustainability wins** The implementation of Watergate’s smart water system has driven outstanding results for Greystar: - £111,000+ in annual savings from reduced water consumption, lower energy bills, and minimised insurance and maintenance costs. - 68% reduction in water usage, equating to over 2 million litres saved monthly. - 26 tonnes of CO₂e reductions annually, reinforcing Greystar’s sustainability leadership. These results highlight the potential for smart water management to transform the rental housing sector by improving efficiency, protecting assets, and driving ESG performance. **Uncovering hidden inefficiencies** With real-time water monitoring, leak detection, and data-driven insights, Greystar was able to identify and address a range of inefficiencies across its properties, including: - High water consumption anomalies – 22% of units were using significantly more water than expected, with one apartment consuming 11,600 litres per day due to a stuck toilet flush. - Pressure issues – Incorrectly configured valves led to excessive wear on appliances in some cases, while in others, low pressure resulted in resident dissatisfaction. - Temperature inefficiencies – Hot water systems were running unnecessarily high, wasting energy, while cold water systems were at risk of Legionella due to improper pipe configurations. By leveraging Watergate’s Sonic smart valve, real-time monitoring dashboard, and mobile app, Greystar’s team could swiftly detect and resolve these inefficiencies—ensuring proactive maintenance, cost savings, and enhanced resident satisfaction. **Future-proofing Greystar’s portfolio with smart water technology** For Greystar, adopting Watergate’s smart water management system is not just about cost savings—it’s a strategic investment in resilience, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability. - Enhanced asset protection – Real-time leak detection and automatic shut-off minimise the risk of water damage. - Lower operational costs – Predictive maintenance reduces unnecessary repairs, while lower utility costs boost asset profitability. - Stronger sustainability credentials – Water reductions support ESG commitments and higher BREEAM ratings, helping Greystar stay ahead of regulatory and investor expectations. **“Revolutionising the way we manage water”** We’ve been incredibly impressed with Watergate Sonic’s performance and reliability. It has already identified and prevented several leaks, giving us peace of mind and significant savings. The automatic shut-off valve sets it apart, immediately stopping leaks before they cause damage. This technology is revolutionising the way we manage and protect our assets. – Mandisa Khabo, Technical Director, International Development and Operations at Greystar With these early successes, Greystar is now well positioned to scale the solution across its wider portfolio, unlocking multi-million-pound savings while further strengthening its sustainability credentials. **Learn more about Greystar’s tech adoption process and results:** To explore the full impact of Watergate’s smart water management at Greystar, read the detailed case study [here](https://watergate.ai/case-studies/greystar/). ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

He will lead a new Investment directorate focused on both Peabody residents’ existing homes and the new ones the group plans to build. The new directorate combines the Development and Property Services & Assets teams into one. This aligns with Peabody’s vision to ensure its homes and neighbourhoods continue to meet residents’ needs when the organisation celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2062. This will build on Peabody’s existing priorities of getting the basics right and putting residents first. The move aims to deliver better services and better homes and places for the long-term. Peter Evans, currently Executive Director of Property Services & Assets at Peabody, has decided to step back from full-time work and will leave on 31 May. Peter will hand over his responsibilities to Phil, as part of the new Investment directorate. Ian McDermott, Chief Executive of Peabody, said: “Financial and organisational resilience are essential for us to deliver good services and homes for residents. Bringing these services together is a key part of joining up our long-term investment in homes from the very start ensuring they meet residents’ needs throughout their lifetime. “I’d like to thank Peter for everything he’s done for residents over the past six years and wish him the best for the future.” Phil Jenkins said: “I’m very much looking forward to leading this new directorate from April. We’ll be working together to expand on what we’ve already achieved to deliver better homes and services for residents, as we continue to spend £1m a day on maintaining and improving homes. “By bringing these services together, we’ll have a single and more integrated view of our existing homes and the ones we’re building now and in the future.” ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The Avani platform uses live data from building systems and sensors to help property owners and managers reduce their buildings’ carbon footprint by eliminating wasted resources and enhancing operational efficiency. Funding from EGX will enhance the Avani platform’s algorithms and integrated platform, improving sustainability and addressing rising cost pressures in the property industry. Avani Solutions CEO, Nicolette Maury, said property owners and operators are under “immense pressure” to balance cost control with environmental accountability and carbon reduction targets. “By enhancing our technology platform, we can ensure it remains cutting-edge and capable of meeting evolving customer needs in an increasingly complex market, deepening our value proposition and extending our market leadership,” Maury said. While the company recorded a 54 per cent revenue increase in the past 12 months, the funds will secure Avani’s future expansion as it plans to enter global markets such as the UK and Europe. Avani’s estimates show that the industry inefficiencies could cost property owners and managers approximately $200 billion annually. The company further noted that data-saving solutions have the potential to yield savings of up to $77 billion by optimising operations and reducing inefficiencies in the property management process. “By expanding this innovation into new markets, this funding will also enable us to accelerate our mission to make sustainable, efficient property management more available for property owners across Australia and globally,” Maury said.

At the same time, the real estate market struggles with a number of challenges centered around both getting the right data in-hand and, understanding how to take action on the back of this data to reduce CO2 emissions and improve net operating income (NOI). The applications of AI in real estate are many but decarbonization is among the most essential. Furthermore, decarbonization has become an unavoidable reality in the real estate sector, and legislative mandates have positioned it as a key driver of long-term value creation. While recent regulatory shifts in the US and the EU Omnibus Proposal may ease reporting requirements, the urgency to accelerate sustainable transformation remains unchanged. To help address these industry-wide challenges, BuildingMinds and Optiml – two AI-led data platforms – will engage in a strategic partnership. The partnership will bring ESG data together with in-depth retrofit and investment planning capabilities at the real estate portfolio and asset level. Key benefits of the partnership include: 1. Simple, End-to-end Data Flows: Through the integration of our two systems, users will be able to transfer and transform data with a simple click in and out of key modules from meter-specific in-depth views to capital planning projections based on a building’s detailed energy consumption history. 2. Enhanced Retrofit Analysis: The partnership will leverage both companies’ expertise to improve retrofit analysis and provide clients with reliable and actionable decarbonization and investment strategies on portfolio and asset levels. This comprehensive approach covers the entire building lifecycle, from transactions and asset & portfolio management to ESG reporting and construction, supporting clients’ Net Zero ambitions and meeting financial and sustainability goals. 3. Comprehensive Regulatory Reporting: Clients will benefit from a broad suite of reporting options, including EU Taxonomy, SFDR, INREV and custom reports for easy export. The partnership will also support compliance with regulations and certificates such as DGNB, helping asset owners define reliable and actionable measures that can be integrated into ESG reporting as documentation of action. 4. Optimized CapEx Allocations: The collaboration will enable clients to make informed decisions on capital investments and ESG measures, enhancing performance and optimizing strategies from asset to portfolio levels. This includes lowering CapEx, prioritizing high CO2 impact measures, and increasing ROI. Marek Sacha CEO of BuildingMinds, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Optiml, a company that shares our vision of driving innovation, sustainability and operational efficiency for asset owners and managers. This collaboration will enable us to provide our clients with a seamless experience and empower them with the insights needed to achieve their Net Zero ambitions while meeting both financial and sustainability objectives.” Dr. Evan Petkov, Co-founder and CEO of Optiml said, “This partnership with BuildingMinds is a major milestone for both companies and the industry. We are excited to join forces to create value for the real estate industry with a powerful solution from data management, reporting, to decarbonization and investment strategies. We see great potential in leveraging AI for informed decisions in real estate asset management.” **About BuildingMinds GmbH** [BuildingMinds](https://buildingminds.com/) is a leading AI data driven ESG platform designed to empower asset owners and operators to make better operational and capital planning decisions to improve the NOI of their assets.

The joint cooperation in heat pumps is now set to be significantly expanded. “The heat pump is the heating solution of the future worldwide,” Tado founder Christian Deilmann told Handelsblatt. Tado and Panasonic announced a collaboration last year : Tado’s software can automatically optimize and control Panasonic heat pumps. Ideally, these heat pumps should also fill their buffer storage when electricity is cheap. The partnership is not exclusive, but the Japanese company offers its systems in Europe directly with the Tado control system. Europe is an important market for Panasonic, Enrique Vilamitjana, Head of Panasonic Heating & Ventilation Air-Conditioning Europe, told Handelsblatt. The Japanese company has state-of-the-art heat pumps. “Tado can make them even more efficient.” Furthermore, the Tado control system is used in many households with conventional heating systems. If these households also switch to heat pumps, they could jointly offer solutions for the transformation. Tado currently has around one million customers. If even just ten percent of households still using conventional heating were to switch to a heat pump, it would be an attractive business. According to Deilmann, the partnership is currently in its start-up phase with several hundred customers. “We now want to scale up.” **On the way to becoming a “unicorn”** According to industry sources, Tado was valued at a mid-three-digit million euro amount as part of the financing round. Tado is among the 50 fastest-growing and most influential venture-backed technology companies in Europe , according to the Tech Tour platform, an association of leading European investors. “Once Tado became a unicorn with a billion-dollar valuation, it would probably have been more difficult for us to enter,” said Ryohei Ogawa, strategy manager at Panasonic. A unicorn is defined as a startup with a valuation of at least one billion euros. According to Tado, a complete takeover was not even considered. Tado’s business model relies on the technology being open to different providers. According to industry estimates, the company’s revenue grew by around 25 percent last year. Tado isn’t the only company with an app control for heat pumps. Manufacturer Stiebel Eltron, for example, connected its devices to the internet more than ten years ago. Tado founder Deilmann, however, points out that his app could also be used to control individual rooms, for example. Customers currently have to purchase a one-time so-called Heat Pump Optimizer for €249. When purchasing Panasonic heat pumps, customers can purchase the Tado products directly, thus optimizing the pump’s operation. **Buy electricity when it’s cheap** Tado’s flagship product is a smart heating app, which also includes a special radiator thermostat. The system can detect, for example, when a user leaves work and heads home and preheat the apartment. Using the phone’s location function, the control system knows when a resident leaves a room or the house. The company also offers dynamic electricity tariffs. For this purpose, the Munich-based startup acquired the Austrian company Awattar, a specialist in flexible electricity marketing, at the beginning of 2022. With the help of the Vienna-based IT platform, Tado users can, for example, charge their electric car or heat pump’s buffer storage precisely when electricity is particularly cheap, for example, because a lot of wind or solar energy is being fed into the grid. During periods when electricity is very expensive, the charging process can be interrupted. These flexible tariffs will now be used for heat pump control. In the long term, Tado aims to shape its own energy transition this way: Currently, revenue from controlling fossil-fuel heating systems accounts for 90 percent of its business, while heat pumps account for 10 percent. “One day, that will be the other way around for us,” says Deilmann. The heat pump is the most efficient solution in most cases, said Panasonic manager Vilamitjana. “However, politicians need a reliable regulatory framework and, above all, predictability for business decisions and available subsidies.” In the past, there had been uncertainty among consumers. The sector may have grown a little too quickly in 2021 and 2022, and the following years were challenging. “But now the market is picking up again.” Heat pumps are a stable growth market in the long term. **Continuation of funding is unclear** Heat pumps powered by electricity are not only more economical, Vilamitjana said. “They also represent an opportunity for Europe to become more energy independent, as they are not dependent on oil and gas.” In Germany, owners of existing single-family homes who live in them have been able to apply for government subsidies to replace old gas and oil heating systems with renewable alternatives for just over a year now. Since May 2024, this also applies to private owners of multi-family homes—i.e., landlords—and homeowners’ associations, for example, with central heating. According to the current federal government, there have been 35,800 applications for these subsidies since January of this year alone , most of them for the installation of heat pumps.

The practice has a global presence, with offices spanning from Oslo, Paris, and Innsbruck, to New York, San Francisco. Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Adelaide and Melbourne. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City, among many others. Since its inception, the practice has maintained its original transdisciplinary approach, and integrates architectural, landscape, interior, product, graphic, digital design and art across its projects. The collaborative nature between Snøhetta’s different disciplines is an essential driving force of the practice. Snøhetta is currently working on a wide range of international projects, including the Ordrupgaard Art Museum expansion in Denmark and the Shanghai Grand Opera House. Recently completed works include Le Monde Group Headquarters in Paris, Europe’s first underwater restaurant, Under, the redesign of the public space in Times Square, the expansion to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Lascaux IV: The International Centre for Cave Art, Powerhouse Brattørkaia and the design for Norway’s new banknotes. Snøhetta’s working method practices a simultaneous exploration of traditional handicraft and cutting-edge digital technology. At the heart of all Snøhetta’s work lies a commitment to social and environmental sustainability, shaping the built environment and design in the service of humanism. Snøhetta believes well-conceived design can help things run more efficiently, improve people’s well-being and make life more enjoyable. Every project is designed with strong, meaningful concepts in mind – concepts that can translate the ethos of its users and their context.

Bio: [ Link ](http://www.snohetta.com) [ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/snohetta/) Snøhetta AS’s Website and LinkedIn: Snøhetta is an international integrated architecture and design firm. The practice has a global presence, with offices spanning from Oslo, Paris, and Innsbruck, to New York, San Francisco. Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Adelaide and Melbourne. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City, among many others. Since its inception, the practice has maintained its original transdisciplinary approach, and integrates architectural, landscape, interior, product, graphic, digital design and art across its projects. The collaborative nature between Snøhetta’s different disciplines is an essential driving force of the practice. Snøhetta is currently working on a wide range of international projects, including the Ordrupgaard Art Museum expansion in Denmark and the Shanghai Grand Opera House. Recently completed works include Le Monde Group Headquarters in Paris, Europe’s first underwater restaurant, Under, the redesign of the public space in Times Square, the expansion to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Lascaux IV: The International Centre for Cave Art, Powerhouse Brattørkaia and the design for Norway’s new banknotes. Snøhetta’s working method practices a simultaneous exploration of traditional handicraft and cutting-edge digital technology. At the heart of all Snøhetta’s work lies a commitment to social and environmental sustainability, shaping the built environment and design in the service of humanism. Snøhetta believes well-conceived design can help things run more efficiently, improve people’s well-being and make life more enjoyable. Every project is designed with strong, meaningful concepts in mind – concepts that can translate the ethos of its users and their context.

The investment will now enable the business to scale up its team, accelerate go-to-market activity and roll out the platform more widely. The funding is expected to create six jobs in Cardiff in the coming months as openmoove builds a small, expert team to support the next stage of growth. Ross Alexander McKenzie, CEO and Co-founder of openmoove, said, “We’ve spent the last 18 months building the product, working closely with estate agents, conveyancers and mortgage brokers, and proving there is real demand for a better way to manage the property transaction process. This investment gives us the backing to scale up, build our team in Cardiff and start rolling the platform out more widely. We’re proud to be building openmoove in Wales. This is a Welsh business, founded by two people who have grown up and built their careers here, and we’re excited to be creating jobs in Cardiff as we move into the next phase of growth.” Cai Gwinnutt, Co-founder of openmoove, said, “Our focus has been on creating technology that fits around the systems professionals already use, rather than forcing them to change behaviour or adopt a completely new way of working. We’ve developed a market-ready product, tested it with early customers and are now in a strong position to accelerate our growth. This funding allows us to keep building with intent – expanding the team, strengthening the platform and taking a product that will improve the way property transactions happen.” Michael Rees, Investment Executive at the Development Bank of Wales, said, “Our investment from the Wales Technology Fund will help openmoove scale from Cardiff, create new jobs and build on the commercial foundations already in place. It is also encouraging to be investing alongside Haatch again, demonstrating the value of co-investment in supporting ambitious Welsh businesses with high-growth potential.” [Source](https://businessnewswales.com/openmoove-secures-700000-backing-to-scale-prop-tech-platform/#:~:text=A%20Cardiff%2Dbased%20property%20technology,across%20the%20UK%20property%20sector.) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The acquisition doubles Casavo’s agent network in Italy and positions the company amongst the leading real estate brokerage platforms in the country. The transaction was funded through a capital increase of over €12 million, supported by existing shareholders, alongside a small consortium of new investors. This deal marks an important step in Casavo’s long-term European growth strategy, with the company targeting more than €50 million in revenue by 2030, considering only organic development and excluding additional acquisitions. By integrating Casando Agency into its platform, Casavo will provide agents with access to its proprietary technology, brand, and operating infrastructure. The integration will also support the expansion of Casavo’s Instant Offer service, which allows homeowners to sell their property in as little as 30 days. ‍ Victor Ranieri, General Manager of Casavo, said, “This acquisition is part of our broader strategy to build a fully integrated, technology-driven real estate platform that helps agents increase productivity, generate more business opportunities, and reduce operational complexity. We were particularly impressed by the strong cultural alignment between the two companies and by Casando Agency’s deep knowledge of local markets.”‍ Charlie Cinolo, Co-founder of Casando Agency, said, “This transaction allows us to accelerate our European growth ambitions by leveraging Casavo’s presence in France and its strong investor base. Casavo’s proprietary technology, Instant Offer service, and managerial expertise make it the ideal partner to scale our direct agent network.” [Source](https://blog.casavo.com/en/articoli/casavo-rafforza-la-sua-presenza-nel-mercato-immobiliare-italiano-con-lacquisizione-di-casando-agency) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The company received an initial $4M co-led by Penny Jar Capital and NextView Ventures, followed by a $6M round led by Navitas Capital, and participation from GS Futures and AGLAÉ VENTURES. Primepoint’s platform analyses the hundreds of drawings that go into construction projects and eliminates the need for manual revisions and reconciliations against specs, RFIs, and submittals. Every result is traceable to the exact drawing detail or specification reference behind it. The tool transforms static PDFs into a seamless interactive drawing experience powered by an underlying knowledge graph, allowing project teams to easily gain visibility into project status, changes, and needs. Lubomir Bourdev, Co-founder and CEO of Primepoint, said, “Technical drawings for large-scale construction projects are extraordinarily complex, and deeply interconnected with other drawings, specifications, and project documents.” Hamid Palo, Co-Founder and CPO of Primepoint, said, “What we are building enables teams to quickly surface discrepancies in drawings earlier in the construction process, saving time, effort, and money by doing the first chunk of work, not just providing answers.” With the new funding, Primepoint plans to expand its platform capabilities and grow its customer base among large commercial general contractors across the United States.

He will be based in the firm’s Sloane Street office and be fully integrated with Savills Private Office and the Savills global network.

Amelia Greene, Head of UK lettings at Savills, said, “The expansion of our super prime lettings department in London speaks to the growth and potential we see in this marketplace and our commitment to this key area of our business. As the needs of our customers continue to evolve, whether it be requirements for a pied a terre, relocating for business or education, or trying out a new area before buying, the bespoke, discreet service we provide has never been more important, and Mark and Murdi are great additions to the team.” Mark Tunstall, Founder of Mark Tunstall Property, said, “I am delighted to be returning to Savills as co-head of super prime lettings, London, a team that I originally established back in 2011. I have taken great pride in building enduring relationships with clients and tenants alike by offering simple, straightforward advice based on a clear understanding of their needs. These are values shared by Savills, so I am excited to build on their already considerable success in the high net worth arena as the sector continues to grow.” [Source](https://www.savills.co.uk/insight-and-opinion/savills-news/389642/savills-completes-acquisition-of-london-super-prime-letting-agency) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Successful graduates will have the opportunity to put their skills to work at Meta construction sites across the U.S. through Meta’s network of contractors. This training program addresses the growing shortage of fiber technicians needed to build next-generation data center infrastructure. By preparing new, job-ready technicians, it expands the skilled workforce, increases access to high-quality career opportunities and creates a clear pathway for recent high school graduates. For people looking to start a new career or recent high school graduates exploring options, these jobs offer competitive earning potential in a growing field. CBRE will train thousands of workers to install technical infrastructure, fiber-optic cables, network gear, and other mission-critical equipment at Meta’s data center construction sites. The curriculum is designed to be broadly applicable, equipping trainees with skills that are in high demand across the construction and data center industries, and will provide a foundation for long-term, transferable careers in the skilled trades sector. The partnership with CBRE builds on Meta’s broader commitment to investing in America’s workforce and expanding access to skilled trade opportunities. Meta has 27 data centers under construction or operational in the U.S. and more in the planning stages. Since 2010, these projects have supported more than 30,000 skilled trade jobs and 5,000 operational jobs. Dina Powell McCormick, Meta’s President and Vice Chairman, said, “The future of the AI revolution depends on a highly skilled U.S. workforce – one that rises to the challenge of building and maintaining the complex systems that power innovation. Meta is proud to invest in technician training to support our ambitious infrastructure goals.” Bob Sulentic, CBRE Chair and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are excited to build upon our longstanding partnership with Meta. We are committed to leveraging the full scope and expertise of CBRE to develop and train a skilled workforce that will support Meta in building out their infrastructure.” [Source](https://ir.cbre.com/press-releases/detail/264/meta-and-cbre-announce-levelup-a-multiyear-program-to) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The vehicle enables Clearwater to deploy balance sheet capital into large-scale C-PACE financings across hospitality, multifamily, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse projects. The structure is designed to capitalise on the long-duration, low-risk characteristics of C-PACE loans and targets fixed-rate, long-tenor financings of $5 million or greater, with a target check size of approximately $40–50 million per transaction. C-PACE allows property owners to finance energy-related upgrades through a tax assessment tied to the real estate itself, creating a long-duration, senior-secured instrument. As commercial real estate capital markets continue to correct, sponsors are pairing C-PACE with traditional first lien, mezzanine, and preferred equity capital sources across a broad range of asset classes. C-PACE reduces the senior lender’s basis and enables more efficient capital structures. In most jurisdictions, C-PACE can be deployed for new construction, value-add renovations, and post-construction recapitalisations. Jonathan Seabolt, CEO of Clearwater, said, “C-PACE has evolved from a niche green financing product into a highly compelling balance sheet solution for borrowers. This initial close validates the institutional demand for C-PACE loans and further positions Clearwater to capture meaningful market share in an asset class that exceeded $3 billion of origination volume in 2025. This vehicle provides the scale and duration required to execute repeatable, large-balance transactions.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/clearwater-pace-secures-up-to-300-million-from-ares-to-scale-institutional-c-pace-platform-302744251.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

This figure adds to the recently announced USD 60 million in financing in Mexico, bringing the company’s total credit to USD 100 million. The resources from this financing line will allow Habi to strengthen its presence in Colombia, expand its investment capacity in residential assets, and continue investing in the development of technology that facilitates the purchase and sale of housing on a large scale. Sebastian Noguera Escallon, President and Co-Founder of Habi, said, “This financing from BBVA Spark confirms the impact we are generating in Colombia. It allows us to accelerate our ability to support millions of Colombian families in the most important financial decision of their lives: buying, selling, or financing their home. We are confident that by providing transparency and making it easier for more people to transact about their homes without friction, we will enable millions of families to access more opportunities, build wealth, and move forward.” Beyond a financial transaction, this financing reflects a transformation in the Colombian housing market. In a context where a significant portion of families’ wealth is concentrated in illiquid assets, the combination of technology, data, and financial solutions becomes key to revitalising the market and expanding access to housing.

For 2026, Oxford Economics forecasts GDP growth of 2.4% for Spain, 2.1% for Portugal, and 1.8% for Greece, compared with an average of 1.0% for the EU27. In 2025, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece saw real estate transaction volumes of €35 billion, an all-time high and 24% above 2024 levels. The region’s recent outperformance is increasingly underpinned by structural factors: a deepening investable universe, sustained tourism-led demand, lower e-commerce exposure in retail, and office and logistics dynamics that look more favourable than in several core markets, says Savills. Energy is an additional differentiator in a more volatile geopolitical backdrop, according to the international real estate advisor. Higher domestic renewable penetration should help dampen exposure to imported energy shocks and improve operating-cost visibility for occupiers, supporting leasing decisions and business confidence in energy-sensitive sectors. James Burke, Director, Global Cross Border Investment at Savills, said, “After an exceptionally strong 2025, we expect momentum in the region to continue this year, albeit at a more moderate pace. Investors aren’t just chasing a bounce in the South, they’re underwriting a cleaner demand story and a deeper opportunity set as the Mediterranean shifts from ‘satellite allocation’ to ‘strategic exposure’ in European portfolios.” Jaime Pascual Sanchiz, CEO of Savills Iberia and Head of Southern Europe, said, “Southern Europe has gained significant market share and sits firmly on cross-border investors’ radar. The region has benefited from a growing, more liquid universe of living sector assets such as care homes, senior housing, and student accommodation, alongside strong hospitality fundamentals underpinned by sustained tourism demand.” [Source](https://www.savills.co.uk/insight-and-opinion/savills-news/390040/southern-europe-s-real-estate-markets--stronger-for-longer) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Ahmed Abou Elsaad, CEO of Azimut Egypt, said, “Brassbell tranche, under Halan AZ Real Estate Fund, launch represents a new chapter of Azimut’s efforts to make investing in alternative assets accessible and considered a continuation to the reshaping of the asset management industry that Azimut started 6 years ago. By combining our asset management and financial and investment products development expertise with our partners technology, distribution and real estate expertise and capabilities, we are making a new asset class accessible for more Egyptians to participate in the country’s real estate prosperity as well as the hospitality industry story.” Ahmed Abdelmeguid, Managing Director of MNP for Real Estate Solutions, said, “Through our partnership with Brassbell, we are able to transform dormant assets in specific locations into professionally managed, inflation-hedged, income-generating ones. The fund’s distribution capabilities through its partners open the door to a diverse pool of investors seeking exposure to the hospitality sector. High-quality real estate investments have historically been fragmented and difficult to access within a structured institutional framework.” Ahmed Ibrahim, Chairman and CEO of Brassbell Hospitality Group, commented, “Through this platform, Brassbell will focus on operating and elevating hospitality assets to deliver consistent guest experiences and strong operational performance. Beginning with the transformation of heritage buildings in Downtown Cairo, our vision is to build a portfolio of professionally operated hospitality destinations that contribute to the revitalisation of historic districts while supporting Egypt’s expanding tourism sector. Brassbell plans to continue expanding its operational footprint across key destinations in Egypt through future investment tranches under the Halan AZ platform.” By combining global asset management expertise, fintech-enabled distribution, and specialised real estate operating platforms, the Halan AZ Real Estate Investment Fund aims to unlock new pathways for participation in Egypt’s property market while supporting the development of high-quality real estate assets across key sectors of the economy.

The round is backed by a mix of angel and institutional investors, including Markus Oksa, Vesa Sironen, Innovestor, and Business Finland. The funding will be used to develop the product further and support expansion beyond Finland, following early activity in other European markets. The company operates a marketplace that connects prospective buyers with homeowners who have not formally listed their properties, aiming to surface supply outside traditional listings. The platform incorporates automated valuation and virtual staging tools, and facilitates direct communication once mutual interest is established. Jaakko Saini, Founder and CEO of Jaakko.com, said, “Our goal is to democratize real estate. Most homes aren’t officially for sale, but many owners are ready to sell when the right buyer appears. We make that encounter easy and free.” Sebastian Hemmilä, Co-founder and CTO of Jaakko.com, said, “We are developing Jaakko into a true digital alternative to the traditional brokerage model. Our platform is technically global, and following our London pilot, we are ready to expand outside Finland this year. Recently, we’ve seen organic buying and selling interest emerge in Sweden, Germany, and Spain, proving the service’s international potential.” [Source](https://arcticstartup.com/jaakko-raises-e500k/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The financing positions the company to consolidate its presence in Southeastern Europe and accelerate its expansion in Greece and neighboring markets. The financing is led by Golden Age Capital, strengthening its position in Moving Doors not only as a financier but as a strategic partner. The company offers a fully digitised end-to-end experience for both tenants and landlords, from property search and digital tours to automated tenant assessment, contracting, payments and support during the stay. In Cyprus, 97% occupancy in the portfolio under management and an average length of stay of nine months, demonstrating that professionally managed, technologically enhanced medium-term housing meets a structural demand that neither traditional long-term rentals nor short-stay can serve. Thanos Geramanis, CEO of Moving Doors, said, “Cyprus is our base market and proof that the model works. We built something that works, for the renter who wants a real home without the hassle, and for the landlord who wants performance without the headache. This round gives us the ability to take this model to every city in Southeast Europe where mobility is increasing and the rental market is lagging.” [Source](https://www.cbn.com.cy/article/128220/moving-doors-completes-6m-series-a-investment-round) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Adyen will finance the acquisition from available cash resources. Talon.One’s co-founders will reinvest a portion of their proceeds in newly issued ordinary shares in Adyen, underscoring their long-term commitment to the combined business. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The acquisition addresses a key customer need and builds on Adyen’s Unified Commerce strategy: not only to connect online and in-store shopper interactions, but also to act on that insight in real-time. Today, merchants lack a consistent view of their customers across channels, limiting their ability to recognise shoppers and translate that insight into action. By combining Adyen’s global payments infrastructure and proprietary transaction data with Talon.One’s real-time decisioning capabilities, merchants can establish a consistent customer identity across channels and apply it directly in the shopper’s cart. This allows them to dynamically adjust promotions and pricing based on the consumer. ‍ The acquisition also strengthens Adyen’s position in models such as agentic commerce, where transactions are increasingly initiated dynamically and earlier in the checkout flow. By combining customer identity, SKU-level data, and real-time decisioning, Adyen enables merchants to influence what is shown and sold across channels, even when decisions are made without direct user interaction. Ingo Uytdehaage, Co-CEO of Adyen, said, “Our merchants ask us every day how they can better connect their online and in-store customer data and act on that in real time. Many have tried to build a solution themselves but struggle to turn insights into action. With Talon.One, a merchant can recognize a shopper and apply a relevant offer instantly, before the payment is completed, ultimately driving higher revenue.” Christoph Gerber and Sebastian Haas, Talon.One’s co-founders said, “Joining Adyen allows us to embed real-time decisioning at the core of every transaction. Together, we enable merchants to connect customer identity with pricing and promotions in real time, in-store and online, driving better outcomes for our customers.” [Source](https://www.iris.vc/articles/iris-exits-talon-one-to-adyen) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The agreement will initially focus on the platform’s real estate portfolio in the UAE, held through Prescribed Companies, the equivalent of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in the DIFC. The initiative is intended to create a more liquid, transparent, and efficient marketplace for investors seeking exposure to fractional real estate opportunities through Stake’s platform. By combining Stake’s innovative access model with ACE & Company’s longstanding experience in private market investing and secondary transactions, the partnership aims to strengthen the investment ecosystem around fractional ownership structures in the UAE. Manar Mahmassani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, said, “We launched during COVID, when global real estate markets were struggling, and Dubai’s property industry was at its low point. What we saw was a market that is far from broken, but fundamentally sound, going through a temporary challenge. Today, we want to be unambiguous about where we stand: we are long Dubai, and we are long the UAE. This is not the moment to retreat: it’s the moment to build the institutional infrastructure this market deserves.” Sherif Elhalwagy, Partner and Co-Founder at ACE & Company, said, “Drawing on almost two decades of experience in offering liquidity to investors across private markets ecosystems via secondaries, we see a tremendous opportunity in real estate secondaries in the UAE. This partnership reflects our conviction in the country’s long-term fundamentals and our disciplined approach to capital deployment in high-quality assets. We look forward to further strengthening our relationships with investors and partners across the region.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/stake-partners-with-ace--company-to-develop-secondary-transfer-facility-for-fractional-real-estate-investments-in-the-uae-302747090.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The business secured $10m in private financing in October last year from Texas-based investors, unlocking further product innovation and expansion into key university markets across the US. The Chicago base will act as Housr’s US HQ and its third regional office, bringing the company’s total footprint to four sites globally. Harry Neil Panter, co-founder and CEO of Housr, said, “We’re building a platform designed to transform how students rent and interact with their living experience. Expanding into the US is a major milestone for us, and Chicago provides the ideal environment to scale our operations and continue that growth journey. Our growth trajectory and recent investment reflect the scale of opportunity ahead, particularly in the US, where demand for a more integrated, digital-first rental experience is rapidly increasing.” Manchester workspace adviser, LEVEL Workspace | B Corp™, supported Housr in establishing its Chicago base. Level has also advised the company on acquiring its UK headquarters and continues to work closely with the business as it scales internationally. Joe Averill, Level founder, said, “Housr is a business with clear momentum and ambition.

The financing is led by Eiffel Investment Group and SET Ventures, along with existing investors. As truck electrification accelerates, the bottleneck is no longer vehicle availability but access to power. Grid constraints, long connection lead times, and the complexity of on-site energy systems are slowing deployment at many logistics sites. Decade Energy solves that problem by developing, financing, and operating the integrated energy infrastructure needed at depots to support electric truck fleets. This includes new grid connections, battery energy storage systems (BESS), EV charging, solar, and software to optimise energy use. With a zero-CapEx approach, Decade Energy helps logistics property owners secure power capacity, generate predictable rental income, and add value through BESS participation in energy markets. Decade Energy’s distributed portfolio approach, deploying across many sites rather than a small number of centralised assets, prepares depots for electric truck fleets and increases long-term asset value. In doing so, Decade Energy is helping define a new category of infrastructure for electric road transport: the powered, flexible, future-ready depot. Casper Norden, CEO and co-founder of Decade Energy, said, “We are building the software, energy products, and team needed to serve logistics sites more comprehensively and to bring that model into new European markets. We now have the capital and platform to turn logistics depots into the power infrastructure that electric road transport needs.” The €16 million is dedicated to projects’ deployment. The objective is the rollout of a portfolio of at least 100MW of BESS projects across France, with total CapEx financing of approximately €50 million. The remaining funds with continued support from existing investors Contrarian Ventures and Ananda Impact Ventures, are dedicated to the next stage of Decade Energy’s product roadmap.

In the corner is the Proptech Connect logo.](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/VREY-1.png) VREY has closed a €3.3 million seed funding round led byRubio Impact Ventures, with participation from HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and kopa ventures. The company enables property owners to deploy solar systems in multi-family buildings and supply the generated electricity directly to tenants, without taking on the role or regulatory burden of an energy supplier. Nearly half of Europeans live in buildings with shared roofs, yet solar adoption in this segment remains low. In Germany, fewer than 2 per cent of multi-family rental units use on-site solar, largely due to regulatory complexity that requires property owners to act as energy suppliers. VREY provides an integrated solution for tenant electricity models and “Gemeinschaftliche Gebäudeversorgung.” Its platform measures each tenant’s share of solar output and manages billing directly, eliminating the need for property owners to assume supplier responsibilities while allowing tenants to benefit without switching providers. Julius Pahmeier, co-founder and Managing Director of VREY, said, “The majority of property owners want to future-proof their buildings, but until now, practical solutions were missing. With VREY, we make solar in multi-family buildings simple and economically viable for the first time.” VREY plans to expand its team of around 20 employees and further develop its platform. The company aims to strengthen its position in the multi-family building segment and unlock additional energy use cases for property owners.

The project has reflected strong investor confidence in both ALAIN’s vision and delivery approach and Emaar Hospitality Group’s ability to deliver a unique lifestyle and service quality. The project sell-out further reinforces the continued strength of Abu Dhabi’s premium residential market and the growing appetite for differentiated, amenity-rich developments on Saadiyat Island. The ceremony took place on-site on Saadiyat Island and was attended by senior leadership from ALAIN and Emaar Hospitality Group, alongside key consultants and project partners. The start of construction signals the transition from concept to delivery and demonstrates tangible progress on one of Saadiyat Island’s most anticipated branded residential projects. Situated at the heart of Saadiyat Island, residents will benefit from immediate access to cultural landmarks including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. The development is also within close proximity to leading educational institutions such as New York University Abu Dhabi, Harrow International School Abu Dhabi and Lycée Louis Massignon, complemented by Saadiyat Island’s pristine beaches and leisure destinations. Khaled Al Khoori, Managing Director of ALAIN, said, “Breaking ground on Vida Residences Saadiyat Island represents an important milestone for ALAIN and reflects our commitment to delivering distinctive residential destinations shaped by design, community and experience.

Led by YFM Equity Partners and backed by the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II, through fund manager Mercia Ventures, the Series A funding round follows a first round in 2023. It will cement StudentCrowd’s position as the definitive intelligence layer for the student accommodation (PBSA) sector, and comes at a pivotal time. The investment will support the next phase of product development and commercial expansion. This includes scaling complete and granular PBSA inventory data across continental Europe, reflecting growing demand from UK-based clients already investing and operating in EU markets, and extending into adjacent living sectors such as Build to Rent (BTR) in response to requests from UK partners. Paul Humphreys, CEO and co-founder of StudentCrowd, said, “Our mission has always been to bring transparency to the student accommodation market – both for the students and for the sector. On the student side, we want every student to be able to choose where they study and live with confidence, powered by authentic, verified reviews from people with real experience. On the industry side, we have built a dataset that gives operators, investors and advisers the independent, accurate data they need to make optimal decisions.” Oliver Wheatley, Investment Manager at YFM Equity Partners, said, ““Having tracked the business since 2021, what has really stood out to us is that Paul, Pete and the team consistently deliver on what they say they will do. They have built a genuinely impressive business on limited capital, and the quality of the product shows in the way customers talk about it and the impressive company metrics. The international expansion is not a speculative bet – existing customers are already pulling them into new markets, which tells you everything about the strength of the underlying proposition.” ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The acquisition strengthens the Johnson Controls OpenBlue digital ecosystem by adding proprietary AI-driven algorithms that optimise HVAC performance and reduce energy consumption. Nantum AI will expand capabilities within the Johnson Controls OpenBlue digital ecosystem to optimise real-time airflow in buildings based on occupancy for customers across industries. Together with existing offerings that drive efficiencies at the central HVAC chiller plant, these capabilities will support more optimisation of HVAC systems across complex facilities such as healthcare campuses and advanced manufacturing environments. The first combined offering is currently being piloted. Vijay Sankaran, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Johnson Controls, said, “We’re entering the next phase of the industrial revolution, where digital intelligence is as critical as the physical systems themselves, and the companies that leverage the power of AI to streamline processes, cut costs and unlock new customer value will win. With the addition of Nantum AI, we’re helping our customers better reduce energy use, manage complexity and run more resilient, efficient facilities.” Nantum AI will add to Johnson Controls’ growing portfolio of AI-powered building solutions delivering efficiency recommendations and enhanced control across air handling units, fans and other air circulation equipment. By adding this layer on top of a traditional building automation system, building operators can leverage data from internal and external sources like weather patterns and utility bill trends, allowing for more efficiency recommendations and execution without compromising occupant comfort.

The transaction marks the Fund’s first dedicated hotel acquisition, reflecting its selective approach to entering new sectors where strong fundamentals and long leases support long term performance. Located in the heart of Poblenou, one of Barcelona’s growing business and innovation districts, the 250 room hotel is operated by Travelodge Hoteles España S.L. under a long term lease. The property benefits from strong transport links to the city’s main cultural, leisure and commercial areas, and plays a role in supporting tourism and local employment as the district continues to develop. Refurbished last year, the hotel holds an EPC A rating and a BREEAM3 “Good” certification, with further investment by M&G to support an upgrade to “Excellent” in the next months. Simon Ellis, Fund Manager of the M&G European Property Fund, said, “In a more uncertain global environment, we’re focused on assets that can deliver steady, dependable income over the long term. Hospitality plays an important supporting role in a diversified real estate portfolio, giving us exposure to sectors driven by tourism, business travel and city growth. When backed by strong fundamentals, long leases and solid sustainability credentials, assets like Travelodge Poblenou show how we can add resilience and diversify across both regions and asset classes.” Federico Bros Tejedor, Director of Investments & Asset Management for Iberia at M&G Real Estate, added, “Acquiring an institutionally leased hotel in one of Europe’s most supply constrained hospitality markets is a unique opportunity for our Iberian portfolio. Together with our recent living transactions in Spain, we now manage circa €1.2 billion of assets across logistics, living, retail, office and hospitality in Iberia, reinforcing our diversified footprint across the region.” [Source](https://group.mandg.com/news-and-insights/press-releases/2026/23-04-2026) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Tamir Poleg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Real, said, “Bringing together Real’s technology and operating model with REMAX’s global reach and franchise model is a transformational moment for the industry.

Heartcore Capital and Balderton Capital led the fundraise, with participation from Entrepreneurs First, Yellow and Evantic Capital, alongside a group of angels. Moving from site analysis to architectural concept currently requires multiple stakeholders, fragmented software, and workflows that can take weeks or months. Davis compresses that into a single integrated process by transforming regulatory, technical, and market data into constraints that its systems use to generate feasibility studies, as well as architectural designs, including volumetrics, floor plans, and space planning. Human experts review each output before delivery, keeping architectural judgment in the loop while removing the coordination overhead. Mehdi Rais, Co-founder & CEO, Davis AI, said, “Real estate is one of the world’s largest asset classes, yet some of its most important workflows still move at a pace that no longer makes sense. We started Davis to set a new time standard for real estate development and ultimately to reshape how cities are designed and built.” Max Niederhofer, partner at Heartcore Capital, said, “What’s distinctive about Davis is how three elements reinforce each other: a generative model operating in a discrete architectural space under regulatory constraints, an architect-in-the-loop validation layer, and the resulting compression from months to days in an industry where time drives returns. We’re excited to back Mehdi and Amine as they reshape how the built world is designed and developed.” Rob Moffat, partner at Balderton Capital, said, “There are many AI companies which are fast to market and some which are building proprietary models, but very few are doing both. After just a few months, Mehdi and Amine have acquired dozens of clients on two continents and performed cutting-edge research in discrete diffusion.” The fresh capital will be used to expand research, accelerate hiring and scale the platform to support hundreds of projects over the next year. With this, the company is positioning itself to set a new speed standard for early-stage development.

This combination is the foundation for an autonomous control layer that delivers proven energy cost reductions. Eric Giese, Managing Director at meteoviva, said, “From offices to airports, our mission is to create reliable improvements in energy efficiency for every building. Partnering with Bregal Milestone gives us the capital and operational support to accelerate our European expansion, extend our AI leadership, and serve a growing base of institutional real estate owners facing regulatory complexity and energy price volatility.” Jan Bruennler, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Bregal Milestone, said, “Our investment in meteoviva is the culmination of years of research in the energy management category in the real estate vertical, and meteoviva stands apart on every dimension that matters: the depth of its proprietary operating data, the quality of its customer base, and an unmatched customer value proposition based on contractually guaranteed outcomes in a market where most vendors only promise insights. We are delighted to partner with the meteoviva team for the next chapter of growth.” The partnership will fund accelerated expansion across European markets, continued investment in meteoviva’s AI and autonomous control roadmap, and the broadening of the platform’s solution suite for commercial real estate owners and operators.

The London-founded startup wants to replace the entire construction value chain, from architect’s brief to move-in-ready building, using AI and a on-site robot called the Mantis. The round is led by RTP Global, the early-stage firm whose portfolio includes Datadog, Delivery Hero, and SumUp, with participation from SuperSeed and additional investment from Begin Capital, s16vc – Founders for Founders Fund, and VNV Global AB. Founded by Rodion Shishkov, All3 operates across Europe with offices in Berlin and Zug and R&D facilities in London and Belgrade. It emerged from stealth in mid-2025, at which point it had already begun testing its robotic system in Belgrade. The company’s system has three integrated components. First, an AI-powered design platform that translates a brief or site address into a fully compliant building design, optimising for space, local planning regulations, and robotic production constraints. Second, robotic factories, described by All3 as compact, modular production cells, that fabricate custom timber composite components with claimed 0.2mm precision, without the need for programmer intervention. Third, the All3 Mantis: an autonomous legged robot with a 100kg payload and 4-metre reach, built for on-site assembly, covering placement, fastening, finishing, and inspection. The funding will go primarily towards advancing R&D in London and Belgrade and deploying the robot fleet across All3’s first commercial projects in Germany, the company’s initial launch market. A first building is due to break ground there later in 2026. [Source](https://thenextweb.com/news/all3-25m-seed-construction-robots-ai-housing) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

John Santora, Chief Executive Officer at WeWork, said, “The workday is no longer static; it doesn’t start and end at a desk. It happens in a busy terminal, between flights to your regional office; when you need to host a client meeting while attending a 1,000 person conference; or when you’re on the go and have to take a call in a busy hotel lobby. With WeWork Go, we’re bringing the quality, privacy, and experience of a WeWork office to the locations where *and* when people need it most. It’s a powerful extension of our platform and another bold step toward delivering real estate solutions designed for the way the world works today.” The WeWork Go product offers three models: a single-user format for independent work, a multi-user one for collaboration that can host up to four people, and an ADA-compatible pod engineered for universal accessibility. Ebbie Wisecarver, Chief Design and Product Officer at WeWork, said, “Every element, from acoustics and lighting to materials and comfort, was intentionally designed to deliver the high-quality, focused experience WeWork is renowned for. The result is a workspace that feels elevated and intuitive, while remaining accessible to anyone, anywhere.” WeWork Go is designed for effortless booking, making it easy for anyone – even those new to WeWork – to reserve a pod in seconds. Users can instantly book their space directly at the pod, seamlessly connecting to the WeWork Go app for immediate access. Each pod is available at flexible rates, which vary based on the location and length of the session, allowing users to choose options that fit their needs. By leveraging WeWork’s global real estate platform, businesses of all sizes can utilize its full suite of office products to meet a diverse range of needs. This enables companies to strategically innovate and enhance productivity, while attracting talent, elevating the employee experience and supporting retention.

This multi-market collaboration introduces account linking, open to all clients and members of ALL Accor and Uber. It also represents new opportunities to earn ALL Accor points, and exclusive benefits for members of both ​platforms.​ With a launch across key markets during the second half of the year, the partnership will first include Uber and Uber Eats delivery services in France, Germany, and Poland. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Morocco will offer benefits for Uber ride services. Alix Boulnois, Chief Commercial, Digital & Tech at Accor, said, “Our collaboration with Uber marks a pivotal strategic milestone for ALL Accor, solidifying our commitment to build the most rewarding and comprehensive loyalty ecosystem. It also illustrates our strong loyalty partnership strategy and its development. By seamlessly weaving ALL Accor into your everyday journeys – from essential commutes to convenient deliveries – we are fundamentally redefining how loyalty enriches your lifestyle, well beyond the traditional hotel stay.” Madhu Kannan, Chief Business Officer at Uber, said, “Uber is at the heart of your travel experience. With Uber One, we’re also building one of the most valuable everyday membership programs and connecting mobility and delivery seamlessly. Partnering with Accor brings together travel and daily life in a way that’s more convenient, more rewarding, and ultimately more valuable for our shared customers.” From arrival to departure, Uber supports every stage of the journey: airport pickups, rides to and from hotels, food experience discovery through Uber Eats, and reliable transportation throughout a stay. By integrating Uber’s services into the ALL Accor ecosystem, this partnership brings added convenience and continuity to travelers, bridging the gap between hospitality, delivery and mobility.

Agentic AI presents an opportunity for the construction industry to close those gaps, and Pi Labs’ latest cohort is backing this conviction. Spanning the full construction lifecycle, from due diligence and planning approvals through to voice AI onsite data capturing, these five startups are automating the workflows that have held the industry back, bringing it one step closer to what Pi Labs calls the ‘Self-Coordinating Site’: construction projects that run themselves. Pi Labs Fund IV is raising £100m to back AI-native companies transforming real assets and construction. Cohort 14 reflects Fund IV’s central ethos: that the next wave of value will be created by agentic AI companies that can automate the entire value chain. Pi Labs selected the following five start-ups based on the calibre of the founding team, the potential to scale globally, and ability to deploy AI against the industry’s deepest pain points. [Veridue AI.](https://www.linkedin.com/company/91484279/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) – an AI platform built for energy infrastructure deals, delivering instant red flags across diligence [Bite](https://www.linkedin.com/company/91484279/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) – automates workflows for structural engineers, making the building design process 40x faster, allows engineers to focus on the work that actually requires their expertise. [AutoSitu (YC W26)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/91484279/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) – cuts planning approval timelines by 90% for developers and architects, by deploying coordinated AI agents to check zoning, building codes, and local compliance. [Movable](https://www.linkedin.com/company/91484279/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) – gives HQ direct insight to the frontline, using voice AI to interview deskless workers at the moments that matter: before shifts, when issues surface, and after a job is done, capturing what happens on the ground in real time. [Unbane](https://www.linkedin.com/company/91484279/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) – replaces construction admin with voice AI, turning phone calls into automated, audit-ready records that make construction coordination as natural as having a conversation. Stefania Ponzo, Partner at Pi Labs, said, “Construction is one of the largest industries globally, yet productivity has remained effectively flat for decades. Digitisation has introduced tooling, but it hasn’t addressed the core issue of fragmented workflows across the value chain. Agentic AI is the breakthrough that will redefine these workflows, with our latest cohort leading this transformation. These five companies are thriving in the complexity that defines construction workflows, driving decisions and actions, not just insights. Our focus is on ensuring they have the right access to customers, partners, and operators, to translate technical capability into commercial outcomes.” ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The financing will be used to accelerate the development of “digital rails” for America’s real estate economy. The Keystone infrastructure is currently helping government agencies in the U.S. manage and secure over $400 billion in property value on its platform. Balcony recently signed a five-year contract with the Bergen County Clerk’s Office in New Jersey to digitise and bring 370,000 property parcels onto its platform, representing approximately $240 billion in real estate value. Gregg Lester, co-CEO and President of Balcony, said, “Our role is to partner with these public servants to build a modern, secure, and connected data layer upon that bedrock. We are not replacing their critical systems, but rather building the digital rails alongside them to ensure these foundational records can power a more transparent and secure market for the next century.” Ken Seiff, Managing Partner at Blockchange Ventures, said, “The drive to build these digital rails is imperative because our fragmented, century-old system is vulnerable. Balcony’s ability to create a verifiable and connected view of land records is the gamechanger, empowering governments to protect against fraud and monitor foreign ownership, which in turn builds the foundation of trust required to finally modernize the rails for the entire real estate economy.” The funding will also scale Balcony’s engineering and go-to-market teams and expand the deployment of its platform across county and state governments nationwide.

The round accelerates expansion across the US and Asia Pacific, including a new Singapore office, and deepens the platform’s agentic AI capabilities for real assets investment decisions. Fifth Dimension connects to a firm’s existing systems, including Yardi, Dealpath and SharePoint, with no data migration required. The platform deploys in two weeks and immediately begins unifying structured data and unstructured documents into a single intelligence layer. From there, Ellie, Fifth Dimension’s agentic AI, prepares analysis, screens deals, drafts IC memos, monitors portfolio variance, and surfaces risk proactively. Every conclusion is sourced, cited and audit-defensible. Institutional knowledge compounds over time, inherited by new starters. Dr. Kate Jarvis, CEO & Co-founder, Fifth Dimension, said, “We are building the intelligence layer that this industry has never had. Firms that move now will define competitive advantage for the next decade.” Lina Chong, Partner, HV Capital, said, “Real assets are the world’s largest, most complex asset class, yet the tech stack behind it hasn’t kept up. Fifth Dimension is building the layer operators have been missing, with the guardrails institutional capital requires.” [Source](https://www.fifthdimensionai.com/news/fifth-dimension-raises-series-a/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill would ban leasehold for new flats in England and Wales and cap ground rents at £250 per year. The Social Housing Renewal Bill would exempt newly built social homes in England from Right to Buy for 35 years and introduce protections for social tenants who are victims of domestic abuse. The Remediation Bill would give the government powers to require construction product manufacturers to contribute to the cost of removing unsafe cladding. **Comments from Propertymark** Propertymark, the professional body for property agents, broadly welcomed the leasehold proposals while urging swift implementation. Timothy Douglas of Propertymark”We welcome the UK government’s continued focus on leasehold reform as we support action to address longstanding issues within the leasehold system, including excessive ground rents, unfair charges and greater transparency for consumers,” said Timothy Douglas (pictured right), head of policy and campaigns at Propertymark. “We now need to see these reforms progress at pace, with clear timelines and delivery, to provide certainty and confidence for consumers and the wider housing sector. “We acknowledge the government’s ambition to make commonhold the default tenure for new flats and to strengthen leaseholder rights. However, reform must be carefully phased to avoid market disruption and ensure existing leaseholders, property agents, and developers can transition effectively to any new system.” Douglas also addressed the cladding remediation measures and the broader economic context for housing. “It is positive to see plans to accelerate remediation works and strengthen accountability for unsafe buildings,” he said. “Leaseholders and residents have faced unacceptable delays and uncertainty for too long. “The UK government must ensure remediation funding, enforcement powers and clear legal responsibilities are implemented quickly so that affected residents are protected, and confidence can return to the housing market.” Douglas added that housing reform must be accompanied by reductions in property taxation to ease affordability and reduce cost pressures on landlords. **Comments from Real Estate:UK** Real Estate:UK, which represents institutional investors in property, offered a more cautious assessment. Melanie Leech of Real Estate:UK”The real estate industry is facing numerous significant headwinds, and construction is at a standstill across most of the country because it is not viable to build,” said Melanie Leech (pictured right), interim chief executive of Real Estate:UK. “In these circumstances, while the UK remains a preferred destination for both domestic and global capital, investors are unwilling to commit new funds without greater economic and political stability including clear signals from the government that they will take the necessary steps to bridge the viability gap, reduce the costs of development and deliver on the promise that the UK will ‘build, build, build’. “Sadly, a combination of last week’s local election results changing the landscape and bringing uncertainty in many areas, and the ongoing speculation about leadership, means that the reverse is true.” Leech acknowledged some positive elements in the speech, particularly the intention to accelerate grid connections, but said the government had failed to set out the bold vision for economic and social renewal needed to unlock investment. “Indeed, investors may be further discouraged by the focus on measures such as leasehold reform and retentions within the construction sector,” she said. **Comments from Glide Property Management, part of LRG** Robert Poole, managing director block management, Glide Property Management, part of LRG, said the King’s Speech set out the government’s direction on leasehold reform. He said: “The King’s Speech provides further clarity on the government’s direction of travel around leasehold reform and commonhold. “Greater transparency, stronger resident protections and improved long-term accountability across the sector are all positive ambitions, but the effectiveness of any reforms will depend on how workable and sustainable they prove in practice. “Ground rent is only one part of the wider cost picture for residents. For many leaseholders and homeowners, the more pressing issues are service charges, estate charges, insurance costs and major works, particularly how these costs are structured, explained and challenged over time. “That is why the detail behind the next phase of reform matters as much as the headline announcements.” **Other comments** Jeremy Leaf, north London estate agent and a former RICS residential chairman, says building safety reforms need to be implemented effectively. He said: “It is absolutely fundamental that building work is carried out appropriately to reduce the risk of problems occurring in the wake of the Grenfell disaster. “However, the delay in implementing the changes required is compromising market activity and in some cases, preventing new work going ahead at a time when there are so many other reasons for builders and developers not to put spades in the ground.” [Source 1](https://www.property118.com/government-unveils-leasehold-reform-and-social-housing-investment-in-kings-speech/) [Source 2](https://www.mpamag.com/uk/news/general/kings-speech-draws-mixed-response-from-property-sector/575064) [Link to full speech](https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-kings-speech-2026) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Existing investors, including Emblem, also participated in earlier financing rounds. Construction remains one of the largest and least digitised industries, with many companies still relying on fragmented workflows, manual processes, and disconnected data systems. Pillar integrates information from accounting software, bank feeds, and construction sites, including updates shared through WhatsApp, into a single interface designed to provide real-time operational visibility without requiring contractors to change existing workflows. Gabriel Guinea Montalvo, CEO and co-founder of Pillar, said, “Every project runs on fragmented data, manual processes, and zero visibility – from the contractor’s back office to the workers on site. We are building the default operating system this industry depends on, in Italy, in Europe, and everywhere construction still operates in chaos.” The newly raised capital will be used to strengthen Pillar’s position in the Italian market, expand internationally, and continue developing its product ecosystem. The company plans to broaden its platform with additional modules covering procurement, tender management, subcontractor coordination, banking, and related construction services.

The pilot at its 20 Water Street headquarters in London solved core challenges faced by JLL: managing disparate access control systems across its global corporate footprint and integrating its own access control with base building landlord systems, a common complexity in multi-tenanted buildings. The SwiftConnect platform unified JLL’s different access control systems into a single pass stored in employees digital NFC wallet, using HID Signo™ readers and HID Seos® credential technology, so that employees can access both base building entrances and JLL office spaces with one credential on their smartphone or wearable device. Daniel Correa, Growth Principal at JLL Spark, said, “Our investment in SwiftConnect years ago was driven by this clear gap between how enterprises manage physical identity and access. Fast forward to today, our decision to deploy the company’s platform across JLL offices and managed assets is a natural expression of our confidence in what SwiftConnect delivers.” Chip K., Co-CEO at SwiftConnect, said, “JLL’s decision to deploy our connected access network across their own portfolio is the kind of validation that speaks for itself. It reflects the growing momentum SwiftConnect is experiencing across the UK and European market for a truly unified approach to access, irrespective of the existing physical security infrastructure.” [Source](https://www.swiftconnect.com/resources/jll-deploys-swiftconnects-connected-access-network-for-mobile-access-in-london-headquarters-and-managed-assets/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Backed by an initial £400 million of available capital, the platform will be built on long-term capital. Central to the strategy is an exclusive partnership with Moda, which will co-invest in the platform. The partnership combines CBRE IM’s residential platform with access to a residential land bank of over 25,000 plots controlled by Moda’s parent company, Caddick Group. This is alongside the ability to leverage CBRE IM and Moda’s full operational platform to target enhanced return opportunities across both standing assets and development. Andrew Davey, Head of UK Residential Strategies at CBRE Investment Management, said, “Single family housing represents a long term opportunity, supported by strong demand fundamentals and a chronic undersupply of high quality rental homes. This strategy combines our institutional investment and asset management expertise with Moda Living’s established development and operational platform to deliver high quality, professionally managed homes at scale.” Johnny Caddick, CEO of Moda Living, said, “By investing alongside CBRE IM and aligning with patient, core capital, we can take a long-term approach to delivery, bringing forward a pipeline of well-designed homes at scale into an underserved market with proven fundamentals. This will allow us to maintain a focus on quality and consistency, creating places designed for long-term living while supporting stable, sustainable performance for investors.” [Source](https://www.cbreim.com/press-releases/cbre-investment-management-launches-single-family-housing-strategy-in-partnership-with-moda-living) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Its platform helps developers identify buyer demand before construction is completed, allowing them to optimise pricing, positioning, and sales strategies using AI-generated insights and behavioural data. The company added that the fresh capital will support product and technology development, international expansion, and team growth. Cristian G. Pastrana, co-founder and CEO of eVoost AI, said, “This round allows us to accelerate the construction of an intelligent operating system for residential commercialisation. Our goal is to transform a traditionally fragmented and analogue sector into one governed by data, AI, and automation.” Manuel Nieto Arias, co-founder of First Drop VC, said, “Many developers still build without truly understanding their end customer. eVoost’s technology identifies demand and optimises sales even before construction begins.” [Source](https://www.wamda.com/2026/05/uae-based-evoost-ai-expands-globally-2-2m-funding-round) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by Korea Investment Partners, with participation from KB Investment. The raise brings Xpanner’s total funding to USD $38 million and marks a focused effort to expand its subscription-based automation solution across the U.S. market. Ryan Joohan Park, co-founder & CFO and CSO of Xpanner, said, “We’re thrilled to have KIP’s continued support as we enter our next chapter. This capital will accelerate our Physical AI solutions tackling labor shortages and jobsite productivity and fast-track our subscription model expansion. Our focus now is building recurring subscription revenue on top of a proven customer base, driving both growth and profitability.” At the heart of Xpanner’s offering is Software-Defined Machinery (SDM), the principle that existing construction equipment should evolve through software, not hardware replacement. The company’s flagship product, X1 Kit, is a full-stack solution that integrates integrating SDM and retrofit hardware with task-specific automation licenses. Xpanner currently offers field-ready solutions for piling and material handling. Rather than selling equipment outright, Xpanner delivers automation capabilities through its Automation-as-a-Service (AaaS) subscription model, essentially bringing the pay-as-you-go concept to construction machinery, making automation accessible without large upfront investment.

The combined solution connects real-time human occupancy data directly to HVAC, ventilation, and grid optimisation systems, replacing the static schedules that have driven unnecessary energy waste in commercial buildings. The timing reflects four pressures converging on commercial real estate simultaneously: surging HVAC operating costs, unpredictable hybrid occupancy patterns that render fixed schedules obsolete, heightened tenant expectations around indoor air quality, and growing utility incentives for intelligent demand response participation. Together, these pressures have created an urgent need for buildings that can adapt in real time to how spaces are used. Vivek Sanan, Chief Product Officer, WellStat, said, “Buildings should respond to people, not schedules. This integration closes the loop between occupancy data and operational action, not as a dashboard feature, but as a live control layer that adjusts ventilation, heating, and energy systems in real time based on where people are. That is a fundamentally different standard of performance.” Amir EINAV, CEO, PointGrab, said, “Occupancy sensing has historically stopped at the dashboard, useful for space planning, invisible to the building itself.

This funding will enable the company to accelerate the large-scale deployment of its solutions and support the development of new products, advancing its mission to combat climate change and alleviate fuel poverty. The investment round was supported by all of AirEx’s shareholders, including Barclays Climate Ventures, Green Angel Ventures, Bayes Entrepreneurship Fund, One Planet Capital, Nesta, and Sustainable Ventures. AirEx also welcomed Vectr7 Investment Partners LLP as a new investor to the company. AirEx has already established strong commercial partnerships with dozens of housing providers and Tier 1 contractors, including Warmworks, Peabody, and Together Housing Group. The funding will also support expansion into new partnerships and broader market rollout. Joe McMullen, COO of AirEx, said, “This funding allows us to move faster with our growth plans and support the development of new products. Our goal is to provide a simple solution for landlords and homeowners to reduce energy use. We are pleased to have the continued support of our investors as we work to make homes warmer and healthier for residents.” Agnes Czako, CEO of AirEx, said, “Our £2.1 million raise comes at a pivotal moment, as the government’s Warm Homes Plan unlocks billions in retrofit funding and sets a clear pathway to upgrade up to 50,000 homes per year through social housing alone. This alignment along with the funding gives us a significant opportunity to scale commercially, working with local authorities and landlords to deliver faster, lower-cost energy efficiency improvements at national scale.” [Source](https://www.airex.tech/blog/news-nbspnbspairex-secures-21m-funding-supported-by-innovate-uk-investor-partnerships) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

By integrating its proprietary AI platform into their billing, maintenance, and resident communication systems, Unitify aims to raise its operating margins from roughly 10% to over 25%. The investment combines the company’s own capital with contributions from investors supporting Unitify’s expansion into the U.S. market. The company’s target markets include Florida, Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin), Southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County), Arizona (Phoenix, Scottsdale), Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, and North Carolina (Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham). The U.S. property management industry is divided into two main segments. One focuses on managing properties as investment assets for owners. The other is HOA or condo management (Homeowners’ Associations or Condominiums), where key decisions are made by a board of directors and the association usually operates as a non-profit. The HOA/condo management sector serves over 75 million residents across more than 370,000 associations. The market remains highly fragmented, however, with the 50 largest firms controlling only 15–20% of the market. Revenue in the property management segment is estimated at over $120 billion in FY2025–2026, with average annual growth of about 2–2.3% over the past five years. About 330,000 property management companies in the U.S. oversee nearly 20 million rental properties totaling 49.5 million units. Leading market players include Greystar, Asset Living, RPM Living, BH Management Services, Willow Bridge Property Co., Cushman & Wakefield, and FPI Management. Unitify is targeting both parts of the property management industry. It sees an opportunity for innovation, as many small independent operators managing between 2,000 and 10,000 units still rely on spreadsheets or software that is more than 20 years old. The average founder is 55 or older, creating a wave of ownership handovers and sales. Meanwhile, industry EBITDA margins average about 10%, but could potentially reach 25–35%. Ilia Sotonin, Unitify CEO, said, “In the U.S., 51% of rental property owners use the services of management companies. The industry’s average profit margin stands at 10.4%, which translates to approximately $14 billion in total industry profit. The defining trend of 2025–2026 is AI automation: the share of companies using AI rose from 21% in 2024 to 34% in 2025. Furthermore, 94% of companies expect revenue growth over the next two years through the adoption of such tools, and Unitify is one of the market leaders.” Unitify plans to complement its software sales model with strategic partnerships and acquisitions of property management firms in the U.S. The company intends to use these firms as a base to build its own management operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of both its software and management practices. ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by Clean Growth Fund, with participation from the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund via The FSE Group, Green Angel Ventures, and support from Innovate UK’s investor partnership programme. The latest raise brings total funding secured by the company to £7.5 million. The built environment accounts for approximately 39% of global emissions, with around 11% from embodied carbon in materials and a further 28% from operational energy use. Insulation plays a critical role in reducing operational carbon, yet conventional insulation materials are non-renewable, high-carbon and often combustible. As whole-life carbon assessments become standard, developers and contractors are under increasing pressure to reduce both embodied and operational emissions from buildings simultaneously. The company’s proprietary technologies combine engineered mycelium strains, green chemistry additives and closed-loop automated manufacturing processes to produce an expanding portfolio of construction products; from prefabricated walls to cavity wall insulation. Rather than operating as a single-product manufacturer, Mykor works as a technology and process platform, enabling contractors and manufacturers to integrate low-carbon biomaterials directly into existing production lines and construction systems. This model allows the company to scale through existing industrial infrastructure rather than relying solely on centralised manufacturing. Olivia Page, CEO and Co-founder of Mykor, said, “The challenge has never just been inventing a biomaterial, it’s been manufacturing these systems at industrial scale and integrating them into real construction supply chains. This funding allows us to scale that model further alongside major contractors and manufacturing partners globally.” [Source](https://www.mykor.co.uk/blog/recent_fundraise) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Under the agreement, Braiin will leverage Switchcraft’s white-labelled API infrastructure to power embedded utility and telecom switching experiences across its connected platforms, enabling users to compare, activate, and manage household services – electricity, gas, broadband, and telecom – directly within the Braiin environment. Natraj Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer of Braiin Limited, said, “Utility activation, broadband enablement, and telecom switching remain highly fragmented across the moving and tenancy lifecycle despite being essential components of the residential experience.” He added, “By integrating Switchcraft’s infrastructure into our platform, Braiin can now embed intelligent utility and telecom enablement directly into residential workflows at scale. We believe this can materially improve the customer experience, reduce friction for property stakeholders and unlock recurring monetisation opportunities across our UK PropTech operations without requiring significant internal infrastructure build. This allows Braiin to focus on customer acquisition, embedded distribution, AI orchestration, and platform scale.” The partnership is expected to strengthen the service-activation layer of Braiin’s Living Infrastructure strategy by enabling utility and telecom switching capabilities to be embedded directly into residential lifecycle workflows.

The platform focuses on asset-backed, lower-risk real estate investments across European markets, including Lithuania, Poland, and Spain. Investors earn returns through rental income and potential capital gains. It operates as an alternative financing platform that connects investors with medium-sized and large borrowers, including publicly listed companies, providing an alternative to traditional bank financing. That model has now financed more than €100 million worth of projects across Europe. Gustas Germanavicius, Founder of InRento, said, “Real estate lending has become significantly more expensive. Debt costs have increased substantially since we launched. At the same time, developers, particularly in Eastern Europe, have become much more sophisticated in how they source capital, with access to more options than ever before.” InRento positions itself as a faster and more flexible alternative. The platform focuses exclusively on projects that have already secured the necessary development approvals, removing permitting risk from the financing equation. One of InRento’s areas of activity is office-to-residential conversions. Older office buildings are increasingly inefficient and expensive to maintain, which Germanavicius contends creates a major opportunity for conversions. Instead of leaving outdated office buildings vacant, developers can transform them into residential lofts or apartments.

While this approach, championed by the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM), remains critical for investors and regulators, a new whitepaper argues it does not fully reflect how hotels actually operate. The report, *Target Pathways for Hotels: Applying CRREM to the Hospitality Sector*, was developed by Another Star — operator of citizenM hotels — together with PropTech platform BuildingMinds. It introduces a complementary metric: emissions per occupied room night. #### **The Core Friction: Floor Area vs. Guest Demand** The idea is simple. Hotels consume energy according to guest demand as much as building size. Heating, cooling, lighting and hot water rise and fall with occupancy, while some baseline energy use remains fixed regardless of how many guests stay overnight. Measuring emissions only per m² can therefore obscure operational realities. To build the framework, the authors combined years of operational data from citizenM hotels with the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index (CHSB), one of the sector’s most widely recognised sustainability datasets. BuildingMinds then translated CRREM’s science-based per-m² pathways into per-occupied-room-night targets while maintaining alignment with the Paris Agreement carbon budget. #### **Case Study: The Pandemic Distortions** The findings reveal why a dual-metric approach matters. One of the clearest examples comes from citizenM Amsterdam Amstel. During the pandemic, occupancy collapsed, but the hotel building remained operational. As a result, emissions per m² stayed relatively stable — moving from 54 kgCO2e/m² in 2020 to 49 kgCO2e/m² in 2024. However, emissions per occupied room night told a completely different story. The metric hit 22 kgCO2e per occupied room night in 2020 before falling to just 6.2 kgCO2e in 2023 as occupancy recovered. Energy intensity showed a similar pattern, dropping from 73.8 kWh per occupied room night in 2020 to roughly 25 kWh in 2023–2024. According to the report, this demonstrates that “per-m² captures structural building performance independently of demand fluctuations, while per-occupied-room-night reflects the operational reality of delivering service to guests.” #### **Action Points and Implications** **Implications for operators** For hotel brands, the new metric could become increasingly valuable as corporate travel buyers demand clearer sustainability reporting. The paper notes that many companies now require emissions-per-stay data for procurement and Scope 3 reporting, while ESG-focused travellers are also asking a simpler question: what is the carbon impact of my stay? **Implications for investors** For investors, the framework provides a more nuanced understanding of operational efficiency. A compact urban hotel or amenity-heavy luxury property may appear carbon intensive on a per-m² basis, but perform strongly when evaluated per guest stay. **Impact of dual metrics on future capital allocation** The report also suggests that dual metrics could influence future capital allocation decisions. Retrofit projects such as heat pumps, upgraded HVAC systems and insulation improvements can be assessed not only for their impact on building emissions, but also for how efficiently they reduce the carbon footprint of each guest stay. Importantly, the authors are not proposing that per-occupied-room-night replaces CRREM or regulatory benchmarks. Instead, they position it as an enhancement — one metric for compliance and asset-level comparability, the other for operational excellence and guest-facing transparency. As Annalise Tyrie, ESG Director at Another Star, and Dr. Jens Hirsch, Chief Scientific Officer at BuildingMinds, write in the foreword, the goal is to create “a complementary lens that connects sustainability to guest experience and enables clearer stakeholder communication.” For an industry balancing investor pressure, regulatory scrutiny and changing customer expectations, that second lens may become increasingly important.

The funding will accelerate product development, deepen integrations with the platforms builders already use, and expand Hardline’s go-to-market across commercial and residential construction. Hardline captures phone calls and onsite verbal data from superintendents and project managers, then converts them into structured records, such as daily logs, RFIs, punch lists, and change orders. Hardline works with platforms like Procore Technologies, Autodesk Forma, and Fieldwire by Hilti and supports multiple languages. Karly Heffernan, Cofounder, Hardline, said, “I grew up on construction sites. The problem has never been that supers and PMs don’t know what’s happening on their jobs, it’s that they spend half their day documenting it after the fact, hunched over a laptop in a job trailer. Hardline closes that gap at the point of contact, the moment a call ends, before anyone has to open a spreadsheet.” Alena Tuttle, Cofounder, Hardline, said, “We are not asking field crews to change anything.

Over the past 12 months, the UK ranked first globally for cross‑border investment into standing assets, accounting for 16.1% of international real estate capital flows. Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, and Italy also featured in the global top ten, meaning EMEA represented 60% of the world’s leading destinations for cross‑border capital at a time of heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Luke Dawson, Head of Global and EMEA Capital Markets at Colliers, said, “Global capital markets are becoming increasingly fragmented, and investors are responding by directing capital towards markets that offer scale, liquidity and pricing clarity. EMEA continues to stand out on those fundamentals. Europe consistently captures a disproportionate share of cross-border capital: pricing has adjusted in recent years to offer strong income growth potential, and investors can deploy capital across a wide range of established markets and asset classes.” Global investment into standing assets rose 15% year on year in the first quarter of 2026. In EMEA, growth remained more measured, with activity continuing to concentrate in larger, liquid markets, reinforcing the region’s role as a core allocation for global capital rather than a short‑term cyclical trade. From a sector perspective, EMEA continues to display a more balanced investment profile than other regions, although structural shifts are becoming more pronounced. Senior living emerged as a standout theme in early 2026, rising sharply to account for 11% of Q1 regional investment activity, up from just 4% previously. Damian Harrington, Head of Research, Global Capital Markets and EMEA at Colliers, said, “What the data clearly shows is that Europe’s appeal lies in breadth rather than concentration. Alongside core sectors such as office and industrial, investor conviction is building in more specialised, operational asset classes such as senior living.” EMEA is also playing a growing role as a source of outbound investment. France has moved up the global rankings as a major exporter of cross‑border capital, while Sweden and Norway feature among the world’s top ten capital sources, highlighting the increasingly international focus of European institutional investors. Despite shifting interest rate expectations, yield spreads across EMEA remain supportive relative to the cost of capital following widespread repricing since the end of 2022. This continues to underpin transaction activity in markets and sectors where income durability is well established.

Willmott Dixon Developments brings together the group’s existing development, investment and regeneration capability, built up over nearly ten years, under a single national platform. It is led by David Atkinson, Director of Development and Investment, and Chris Wheeler, National Head of Land and Development, supported by regional development teams across England and Wales. The business has set out to scale activity across four areas where it has an established track record, including, regeneration and development management, residential and direct investment, student accommodation (PBSA), and PPP and strategic partnerships. Graham Dundas, Chief Executive Officer at Willmott Dixon, said, “Willmott Dixon Developments is an important next step for our group and creates a clear national platform for the development, investment and regeneration work we have been doing successfully for nearly a decade. Over that period our specialists have developed a track record for unlocking complex sites, turning early-stage ambition into viable, fundable and deliverable schemes.” David Atkinson, Director of Development and Investment at Willmott Dixon Developments, said, “We exist to solve the problem we hear most often from council and university partners: how to move stalled or complex sites from ambition to delivery. Our role is to act as a single, accountable partner that can shape the scheme, structure the funding, share risk where appropriate, and bring the certainty that comes with knowing how a project will be built.” [Source](https://www.willmottdixon.co.uk/news/willmott-dixon-developments-to-accelerate-regeneration) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The financing expands Andorix’s capacity to deploy converged network infrastructure across commercial, residential, and retail properties. Alongside this investment round, Andorix has established strategic relationships with North America’s wireless infrastructure real estate investment trusts (REITs) to enable project-level financing for smart building and in-building connectivity projects with little to no upfront capital requirement for property owners. Wayne Kim, CEO of Andorix, said, “This equity financing, combined with access to previously secured debt capacity, allows us to scale the business and expand our team to deliver fully financed smart building projects. It gives property owners across commercial, residential, and retail portfolios a faster, more capital-efficient path to modernisation.” Andorix’s converged network infrastructure model provides a unified, fiber-based backbone that connects building systems, IoT devices, access control, lighting, HVAC, and energy management under a secure, open, and interoperable architecture. This foundation enables property owners to reduce operating costs, improve sustainability performance, and enhance tenant experience, all while future-proofing their assets for the demands of 5G and digital services.

The round was led by Innovation Endeavors, with participation from Blackhorn Ventures, DivcoWest Ventures, and 9Yards Capital, as well as existing investors Primary Venture Partners, MetaProp, and Banter Capital. LightTable plans to use the new capital to scale its flagship QA/QC product, expand its team across all functional roles, and accelerate the development of new tools to support growth across the United States and international markets. Paul Zeckser, CEO & Co-founder, LightTable, said, “As modern construction projects call in a more complex web of stakeholders, the cracks in the industry’s workflow infrastructure have become a can’t-ignore roadblock. Thousands of pages of documents being worked on by dozens of designers and consultants can’t scale. Those teams are looking for a workflow tool that’s truly collaborative and end-to-end, without compromising quality or schedule. They want to catch issues earlier so they aren’t forced to figure them out in the field.” He added, “We’re taking the momentum of our QA/QC tool to all the other areas of pre-construction.

The deal adds 250 fully managed properties to the Dwelly network and further strengthens the company’s growing presence across the Midlands region following its acquisition of SBK Lettings in December of last year. The acquisition will see the Albery Tyson portfolio fold into SBK Lettings in Market Harborough. Marcus Ainsworth, Director of Albery Tyson said, “Having built the business over many years, it was incredibly important to find a partner that understood the value of local relationships and the culture that sits behind a successful independent agency. What stood out with Dwelly was that their approach isn’t about stripping businesses back or removing what made them successful in the first place. They genuinely value the people, the reputation and the local knowledge that independent agencies have spent years building.” Sam Humphreys, Head of M&A at Dwelly, said, “Following our recent funding raise, there’s naturally been a huge amount of interest from agency owners exploring what their next step might look like. But for us, acquisitions have never simply been about scale. What we look for are businesses with strong local foundations, great people and a reputation that has been built over many years within the communities they serve. The Albery Tyson portfolio is a great fit in that respect and further strengthens the excellent platform already established through SBK Lettings within the Midlands market.” [Source](https://www.eastmidlandsbusinesslink.co.uk/mag/property/dwelly-acquires-east-midlands-lettings-firm-albery-tyson/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The company is also making an investment in Armada. Johnson Controls brings deep expertise in advanced thermal management and mission-critical building systems, supported by manufacturing leadership and a global footprint that includes more than 40,000 field personnel across all key regions. This reach enables Armada to produce and deploy sovereign AI infrastructure wherever customers need it. Galleon Forge One will span up to 400,000 square feet, and is expected to create 500 jobs, with additional roles in the domestic supply chain. Continuous production is planned to begin in the summer and will start with Leviathan, Armada’s megawatt-scale modular data centers built for high-density AI training and inference workloads, sovereign neo-cloud, and multi-tenant compute environments. Dan Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Armada, said, “The AI race will not be won by one-off projects. It will be won by the companies and countries that can manufacture, deploy, and continuously improve AI infrastructure, with speed, scale and sovereignty. At Galleon Forge One, we will do what America does best: build the industrial base to win.” Joakim Weidemanis, Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, said, “Together, we have already deployed units across the United States and around the world, demonstrating the expertise and global reach required to support mission-critical environments. Johnson Controls’ differentiated technology, U.S.-based manufacturing strength and Armada’s edge computing expertise will deliver the thermal critical environments that perform predictably, deploy quickly, and scale with confidence.” [Source](https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/media-center/news/news-articles/2026/johnson-controls-announces-agreement-with-armada) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Cotality’s association with the Institute reflects its mission to provide the technology solutions that help the property sector make informed, data-driven decisions at every stage of the property lifecycle and its focus on fuelling a thriving global property ecosystem and a more resilient society. By integrating ISEP’s global benchmarking expertise, education, and professional accreditation, Cotality will embed environmental excellence across its entire UK business. This approach enables Cotality to work to extend best practice throughout the UK’s property ecosystem, supporting insurers, restoration and reinstatement contractors, social housing associations, private landlords, and the supply chain with clearer benchmarking, greater consistency, and more meaningful progress. This is particularly relevant with the UK government’s Warm Homes Plan, and how current and future grant funding can be optimised. Cotality and ISEP will collaborate on strategic initiatives and professional development programmes to support property ecosystem professionals as sustainability continues to shape decision-making and strategy in a complex regulatory and technical landscape. Michael Porter, Senior Vice President, International Insurance Solutions at Cotality, said, “Working with ISEP strengthens our ability to support sustainability benchmarking that is credible, practical, and grounded in real data. By collaborating with ISEP and its members, we’re giving our clients the confidence to make decisions that deliver a measurable impact across the UK.” Martin Baxter, Deputy Chief Executive at the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals, said, “Cotality joining ISEP shows a strong commitment to building sustainability knowledge across the business and making sure its work is guided by trusted expertise and benchmarking.

Eurazeo’s Real Estate team will actively support Babylon’s expansion, with the objective of tripling the size of its portfolio by 2030. Eurazeo will support Babylon in acquiring new assets, including underperforming hotels and vacant office buildings to be repositioned, ranging from 500 to 4,000 sqm. This growth will also be driven through management contracts for targeted third-party-owned assets. Beyond these initiatives, Eurazeo will further strengthen the platform’s structure and teams. Babylon’s assets combine the comfort of an apartment with the quality of a hotel. The company is capitalising on structural shifts in both travel behavior and real estate. Its platform provides guests with places that combine prime central locations, refined design and a high degree of autonomy, with the aim of enhancing their experience. Babylon also focuses on repurposing existing buildings to create sustainable living spaces aligned with best-in-class energy standards, demonstrating a strong commitment to the ecological transition and urban regeneration. Riccardo Abello and Pierre Lariviereère, Co-Heads Real Estate, declared, “We are delighted to partner with Babylon and its founding team. The company has established a compelling position in the aparthotel segment, underpinned by strong growth ambitions and alignment with evolving structural trends. This investment reflects the relevance and ambition of EZORE, which is dedicated to supporting high-growth European companies that both operate and own their real estate assets.“ Martin Stalla-Bourdillon, CEO of Babylon, Thomas Zaepffel and Geoffroy Mestrallet added, “We view Eurazeo’s investment in Babylon as a major milestone.

The estate agency group has acquired Battersea & Nine Elms Estates following its recent purchases of Aston Chase and the residential agency division of Madison Brook. The latest deal forms part of Campions Group’s strategy to focus exclusively on London after revealing plans earlier this year to exit operations in the South West. Battersea & Nine Elms Estates, which operates in the Nine Elms regeneration area and around Battersea Power Station, will continue to trade under its existing brand. Richard Davies, Director of UK operations at Campions, said, “Battersea & Nine Elms Estates is a highly respected business with deep roots in one of London’s most dynamic residential markets. The acquisition further strengthens Campions’ presence across South West London and supports our long-term strategy of partnering with high-quality, entrepreneurial agencies that share our customer-focused approach.” [Source](https://propertyindustryeye.com/major-estate-agency-group-completes-third-acquisition-in-just-over-a-month/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

At the core of Zonda is a proprietary, lot-level database covering new home communities, land development activity, construction status, home sales, and builder operations. This data and the software built around it are embedded in builder workflows and are used to support underwriting, land strategy, capital allocation, development planning, forecasting, and sales operations across the industry. The acquisition will also pair Zonda’s Envision visualisation and digital merchandising capabilities with [Matterport](https://www.linkedin.com/company/matterport/)‘s spatial technology. Together, they aim to create digital experiences for builders and consumers and improve how new construction homes are marketed, visualised, and discovered online. Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group, said, “This acquisition extends CoStar Group’s leadership into a major new segment of the real estate industry and strengthens our ability to provide clients with comprehensive information solutions across every major real estate segment. We believe the combination will deliver deeper insights, workflow efficiencies, and analytics to the homebuilding industry, while strengthening our core information offerings and significantly expanding our new home marketplace capabilities.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260529978168/en/CoStar-Group-to-Acquire-Zonda-the-Leader-in-New-Home-Data-Analytics-and-Online-Marketplaces) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Containing 12 social housing apartments spread across three floors, the project’s printing process was carried out in just 34 days. ViliaSprint² was created by developer Plurial Novilia, with designer HOBO Architecture, and printed by PERI 3D Construction using a COBOD BOD2 3D printer, which is the same type used in the previously covered 3D-printed data center and earthquake-resistant house. It’s positioned next to another very similar building by the same developer, which was constructed using traditional techniques and took three months longer to complete. COBOD International said, “On-site concrete production further reduces transport emissions. The optimized form also saved approximately 10% of concrete volume. The building integrates perlite insulation, timber balcony structures, 500 sq m (5,400 sq ft) of photovoltaic panels, and a hybrid gas/heat pump system by Atlantic Systèmes, achieving around 60% energy self-sufficiency in compliance with France’s RE2020 2025 \[green building\] targets.” Plurial Novilia and its partners are planning another larger project containing approximately 40 apartments using two 3D printers simultaneously. The aim is to reduce print time by a factor of four and lower costs to that of conventional construction.

Climate Ready turns sustainability ambitions into practical, measurable benefits for buildings and their occupants, preserving and strengthening long-term value, improving everyday experience and lowering operational costs. The Climate Ready service identifies and facilitates the delivery of impactful retrofit and sustainability projects across clients’ portfolios. MAPP brings together the expertise of teams across building consultancy, sustainability, property management, technical services and building technologies as one single point of contact. Solutions are tailored to fit the needs of the business in question, with Climate Ready bringing together everything from retrofit planning and green building standards to project delivery and ongoing optimisation. The launch of Climate Ready comes at a pivotal time, as many occupiers are opting to stay and refurbish their existing workspaces, rather than relocate. This trend is being driven by a supply issue – only 15.5m sq ft of office space under construction in London in the final quarter of 2025, down 9% from a year earlier, according to data provider CoStar Group. At the same time, incoming legislation could require commercial property to be EPC Rating B by 2030. According to Building Atlas, 78% of UK commercial buildings have an EPC of C or below, putting them at risk of obsolescence. This need for quality retrofitting sets the stage for MAPP’s Climate Ready service to be in high demand. Giulia Jones, Associate Director – Climate Ready at MAPP, said, “The industry has been calling out for a roadmap or service that supports the implementation of climate action and delivers tangible progress towards portfolio-level sustainability goals. Climate Ready meets that need by providing real practical solutions, across every touchpoint of property management, to turn climate risk into commercial opportunity. Like everything that MAPP does, we will tailor the service to the unique specifications of the particular building or asset, so that solutions can achieve the maximum impact.” Louise Bonham, MAPP Chief Executive Officer, said, “Climate Ready strategies and mitigation pathways stand out due to the data and insight that we see day in, day out, from an operational and occupier perspective.

The round was led by Nordstar and Global Tech Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Sabadell Venture Capital and several family offices. Zazume has developed a platform that digitises the residential rental lifecycle by combining proprietary technology, artificial intelligence, and financial services. The company works with property owners and real estate agencies to streamline rental management, offering tools designed to improve operational efficiency and enhance the rental experience. A significant portion of the funding will be used to acquire property management portfolios from smaller real estate agencies in provincial capitals. Zazume is targeting a highly fragmented market where many agencies focus primarily on property sales and often lack the resources, scale, or technology needed to manage rental portfolios efficiently. Zazume has already begun executing the acquisition of Zaragoza-based Landa Propiedades, a regional property management company. The company expects to complete several additional agreements this year as it expands its presence in key Spanish markets. Beyond acquisitions, part of the funding will support sales and marketing activities as Zazume seeks to grow its customer base and strengthen relationships with real estate agencies.

The acquisition marks Legora’s entry into commercial real estate and establishes the foundation for a new Legora engineering hub in New York City. Cadastral is Legora’s fourth acquisition in 2026. Real estate is one of the most document-intensive industries, yet legal teams in the sector have been underserved by purpose-built AI. Cadastral was built specifically for the workflows, document types, and deal structures that define real estate. Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora, said, “They identified a gap in one of the most demanding markets in the world, built a product that serious firms actually trust, and landed some of the biggest names in commercial real estate in record time. We’re incredibly excited to bring their talents and capabilities to Legora.” Abhinav Somani, Co-Founder of Cadastral, said, “We built Cadastral because we believed AI agents could transform how CRE firms handle their legal and transaction workflows. Our growth and customers proved that the industry is ready for agentic transformation. Joining Legora means we can take the platform much further and much faster.” [Source](https://legora.com/newsroom/legora-acquires-cadastral-to-bring-ai-native-legal-intelligence-to-commercial-real-estate) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

As the Dutch energy market shifts toward more flexible and intelligent energy use, dynamic energy pricing (DEP) is becoming increasingly mainstream. By linking electricity rates to real-time fluctuations, DEP helps households optimize consumption, reduce costs, and maximize solar value, especially ahead of the end of net metering in 2027 and the rollout of time-of-use tariffs in 2029. This partnership marks an important step in Zendure’s local strategy in the Netherlands, evolving from a hardware provider into a full-solution energy partner that integrates smart storage, energy use cases, and local ecosystem insights. With support from local partner Natec, both parties will improve local storage, logistics, technical support, and distribution efficiency, strengthening overall service responsiveness and execution in the Dutch market. Bryan Liu, CEO of Zendure, said, “Dynamic contracts require smart storage to unlock real value for solar users.

The round brings Findigs’ total funding to date to $80 million. Findigs plans to use the new funds to advance its leasing decisioning platform, expand affordable-housing capabilities (including LIHTC and Section 8 workflow support), and launch Rent Guarantee products that protect operator revenue across the full lease term. Stephen Carroll, Co-Founder and CEO, Findigs, said, “Operators don’t need higher occupancy. They need occupancy that pays. We built Findigs to end the trade-off between filling units and protecting revenue. Every application gets an automated yes or no in a few hours, grounded in how applicants actually perform after they sign. That’s what gets operators better revenue quality, and that’s what grows NOI. This round lets us extend that same engine. For more operators, across more housing types, and across the full lease term.” With vacancies up and operating costs climbing, property managers and landlords are looking to grow occupancy without shouldering more risk. But screening rental applicants is still being done using tools that aren’t right for the moment. Findigs’ platform helps operators grow occupancy rates, increase revenue, and reduce risk by generating an automated yes/no decision for each and every application, rather than leaving the decision-making up to a human reviewer. Those decisions also come within a few hours, as opposed to the industry average of a few days.

The partnership will initially support leading retail chains, including Dollar Tree, at sites across California, New York, Texas, as well as in the utility service territories of Puget Sound Energy, Salt River Project, and Tennessee Valley Authority, regions facing growing pressure from rising energy costs and grid reliability challenges. Ryan Adelman, CEO of Verantum, said, “Partnering with Leap streamlines the contracting and enrollment process, giving our customers seamless access to demand response revenue across U.S. energy markets. Together, we’re converting the operational intelligence our customers already rely on into a new source of financial value.” Jason Michaels, CEO of Leap, said, “This partnership shows how quickly existing building infrastructure can help address energy affordability and grid reliability challenges. Verantum has already built a leading solution for optimising energy use across large portfolios. By layering in grid participation, those same systems can now deliver additional value to both building operators and the grid, especially during peak demand periods when flexibility matters most.” [Source](https://www.leap.energy/news/leap-and-verantum-partner-to-transform-commercial-buildings-into-grid-flexibility-resources) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Lookthrough enables predictive and preventive decision-making across the full real estate lifecycle. Steen Malmberg, appointed as Head of Nordic Operations, will be leading the regional expansion. He brings senior experience, alongside a track record of scaling technology ventures to public listings and international acquisitions. The expansion is backed by institutional-grade infrastructure already deployed across European markets: 60,000 assets on the platform, nearly EUR 200 Bn in real estate value covered, and an active strategic collaboration with ABB. Marcel Staub, Founder & CEO of Lookthrough, said, “The Nordics and the UK are global leaders in sustainability and innovation, and our platform is the missing link for owners who need investment intelligence, not yet another report.” To mark the expansion, Lookthrough is offering initial portfolio risk analyses to qualified European investors to demonstrate the platform’s measurable financial impact firsthand.

By establishing a dedicated local presence in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, Deepki provides “action-enabling” solutions fuelled with audit-ready data, moving from traditional Sustainability reporting toward genuine financial performance and asset resilience. Vincent Bryant, Co-founder & CEO of Deepki, said, “Expanding into the Nordics and the Netherlands is about meeting Europe’s most advanced green real estate markets where they are today. Representing hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, investors in these regions have outgrown basic, fragmented tools as portfolio complexity and regulatory pressures intensify. They now require a single, complete platform to manage these intricate data sets. By partnering with them, we aren’t just solving a compliance headache, we are providing the unified data intelligence needed to actively protect liquidity and maximise long-term financial performance.” Julie Villet, Head of ESG & Innovation at Mileway, Europe’s last mile logistics real estate company, commented, “We use the Deepki platform for the collection and management of sustainability data across our portfolio. Their platform provides the visibility and insights we need to support our reporting and operational objectives. We value their ability to work with large and granular complex real estate portfolios and look forward to continuing our collaboration as they expand their presence in the Nordics and the Netherlands.” [Source](https://content.deepki.com/hubfs/4.INTERNATIONAL/PDF/Deepki%20Accelerates%20European%20Expansion%20with%20New%20Strategic%20Hubs%20in%20the%20Nordics%20and%20the%20Netherlands%20to%20Bridge%20the%20Sustainability-Finance%20Gap.pdf) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

AMD committed up to £2bn over five years, backing high-performance computing with the University of Cambridge and Imperial College and taking direct stakes in UK startups, with chief executive Lisa Su on stage to announce it. Nebius pledged around £1.7bn to build out UK AI capacity, funding three new deployments of Nvidia infrastructure that will reach 65 megawatts by 2027 and expanding its London R&D hub. Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor, added a pointedly different commitment: £12mn to help the city’s small businesses actually adopt AI, through readiness checks and mentoring, rather than build it. The Prince of Wales is due to appear later in the week, tying technology to his Homewards anti-homelessness initiative. The backdrop is a UK tech sector that, by Tech Nation’s count, is now worth £1.2tn, with British AI startups raising more than £8.2bn in venture capital in the first half of 2026 alone, close to half of all European tech investment by the prime minister’s reckoning. Europe’s IT spending is forecast to grow 8.2 per cent this year to $1.3tn, its fastest in half a decade.

He said, “I am really pleased to announce a new strategy to develop sovereign compute capability. It includes a major new commitment to purchase specialist AI chips worth around £400m, providing a generational opportunity to some of our most promising startups.” The £400m is part of a £1.1bn AI hardware plan announced by the government, which aims to improve the country’s deployment and scaling of AI technologies. As part of the plan, £750m will be used on the UK’s AI supercomputer. Of that funding, £400m will be used to purchase chips, £150m for next-generation inference chips and £250m on more specialised chips as technologies mature. These chips will power the UK’s AI supercomputer. The government is also creating a £120m AI hardware innovation programme, which aims to give UK companies funding to design, develop and test “innovative novel chips”. There will also be funding for the Scaling Inference Lab and to upskill people in the AI hardware sector. In his speech, Starmer said it is the government’s job to recognise the scale of UK talent and match it with the scale of the country’s ambition. “First, we must make sure Britain remains the home of those ideas and give our innovators the tools they need to stay at the cutting edge. That is why this government has committed record levels of funding for research and development already. But it is not just enough for ideas to be born here.

The company plans to use the new capital to expand into additional geographic markets, enhance agent-facing technology, broaden its product portfolio, and continue developing its proprietary AI-powered underwriting platform. The company’s underwriting model is built around proprietary artificial intelligence and risk assessment technology that evaluates properties on an individual building basis. Honeycomb analyses hundreds of structured and unstructured data points, including geospatial information, environmental data, building characteristics, historical performance metrics, and high-resolution imagery to assess risk and determine pricing. Itai Ben-Zaken, Co-Founder And CEO, Honeycomb Insurance, said, “We are building Honeycomb to be the category leader in commercial real estate insurance. We didn’t add AI to a legacy offering. Our platform is centered on proprietary data and AI models to underwrite each property individually, with competitive and fair pricing and terms. This funding accelerates our expansion into new states and new product lines as we move toward that goal.” oren zeev, Founding Partner, Zeev Ventures, said, “Honeycomb has built something I rarely see, an insurance company that has scaled rapidly while maintaining a lean operation. That combination is exceptionally rare in insurance, and it reflects the strength of both the team and the technology. The commercial property market is massive, underserved by legacy carriers.” [Source](https://pulse2.com/honeycomb-insurance-raises-40-million-to-expand-ai-powered-commercial-real-estate-insurance-platform/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Under the agreement, Entrata will gain expanded access to OpenAI’s AI models to enhance its existing agents and accelerate development of new autonomous capabilities. For property teams, this will mean more efficient operations across leasing, resident communications, maintenance coordination, accounting, payments, operations, and portfolio management. For residents, it will mean faster service, more responsive communication, and a better living experience. Entrata will also expand its use of OpenAI tools, including plans to make Codex available to employees across the company, as teams use AI agents in their day-to-day work across product development, engineering, and business operations. Denise Holland Dresser, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenAI, said, “With models like GPT-5.5 and tools like Codex, Entrata can empower employees with new AI capabilities that drive more efficient operations and deliver higher levels of customer satisfaction.” Adam Edmunds, Chief Executive Officer of Entrata, said, “There’s a lot of repetitive work in property management. For twenty years, property management software assisted with that work. The next generation will own it, so property teams can focus on their residents. We’ve been building toward this moment, and with OpenAI, we’re not just participating in that future. We will help define it.” [Source](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/06/07/3307751/0/en/entrata-collaborates-with-openai-to-define-the-future-of-autonomous-property-management.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The fund is built in partnership with Apex Group Ltd and Archax, targeting real world asset tokenisation for institutional clients. This marks a step for Goldman Sachs in applying blockchain technology to traditional real estate assets. For investors watching NYSE:GS, this move into tokenised real estate comes with the stock trading at around $1,041.02. Over the past year the share price return is 77.2%, and over 5 years it is 207.0%, which shows how strongly the stock has moved in that period. The recent 4.5% return over 7 days and 15.3% over 30 days also highlight active interest in the stock. Goldman Sachs is positioning its blockchain platform at the centre of how clients might hold and trade real estate in digital form. If institutional demand for real world asset tokenisation grows, this kind of infrastructure could become an important part of how large investors access and manage exposure to property assets. Investors should watch how quickly institutional clients adopt the tokenised real estate fund, including assets raised, number of participants, and whether similar products roll out into other asset classes. It is also worth tracking how often Goldman Sachs references digital asset tokenisation alongside its traditional bond issuance and AI-related initiatives, as that can signal whether this is a small pilot or part of a broader shift in how it structures client products.

The company uses AI to automate one of commercial real estate’s slowest processes, including planning and visualising office spaces during lease negotiations. Angel investors from real estate and tech also participated. They join existing backers Second Century Ventures, Kogito Ventures, KnowledgeHub Fund, and Realty Corp. Founded by Zbigniew Kostrzewa and Łukasz Majewski, and led since 2023 by chief executive officer Maciej (Matthew) Markowski, SquarePlan’s platform turns a simple floor outline into space plans, cost estimates, and 3D, VR, and AR visualisations. The product is already used by landlords and developers in European commercial real estate, including Strabag Real Estate and EPP who together manage millions of sqm of office space. SquarePlan estimates that its automation can shorten the early stages of a leasing process by several weeks and unlock savings on advisory and fitout costs for both landlords and occupiers. Maciej (Matthew) Markowski, CEO of SquarePlan, said, “Commercial leasing is still one of the slowest, most manual processes in real estate, and that has a real cost. Our customers have shown that when you put AI at the start of the leasing conversation deals move faster.

McCarthy will leverage Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to create a connected AI operating system that brings McCarthy’s more than 160 years of construction expertise directly into the workflows of its teams, from early design to field execution. Justin McFarland, Chief Digital Officer of McCarthy, said, **“**Beyond the ontology and technology itself, Palantir brings exceptional engineering talent and strategic thought leadership that has accelerated our ability to transform complex operational concepts into scalable solutions faster than we thought possible.” A central focus of the partnership is McCarthy’s AI Operations Suite – Pulse, an AI-native system designed to support field teams with real-time insight, scenario planning, risk analysis and decision orchestration. Built on AIP, with McCarthy’s construction expertise and workflows modeled in Palantir’s Ontology, Pulse helps superintendents, project managers and field operators evaluate options, anticipate constraints and make faster decisions on active job sites. Tristan Gruska, Palantir’s Head of Energy and Infrastructure, said, “Through this partnership, McCarthy is accelerating its technology ambition and deploying an AI operating system for their entire construction operations, from design through job site execution. With AIP in the hands of their frontline teams, we are seeing what is possible when a builder uses AI to amplify its people and its tradecraft, and the results will help set the pace for the entire sector.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260604988849/en/McCarthy-and-Palantir-Announce-Strategic-Partnership-to-Bring-AI-to-the-Construction-Field-and-Beyond) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

It sets out how the government intends to implement a targeted approach to strengthening the policy, focused on supporting businesses that rent larger premises by helping to cut energy costs and improve energy efficiency. The government is confirming its intention to implement the following: - from 2031, it is proposed that all private rented buildings over 1,000 square metres in England and Wales will need to reach a higher standard of energy efficiency of EPC B, where cost effective - the intention is for buildings below 1,000 square metres to continue to be subject to the current minimum standard of EPC E - the previously proposed interim EPC C milestone for 2027 will not be taken forward, giving landlords and tenants more time to improve the efficiency of their buildings in a way that suits their buildings and lease agreements - existing flexibility mechanisms, including the 7-year payback test and exemptions, will remain in place ensuring that only improvements that are practical, affordable and cost-effective will be required The changes to raise MEES to EPC B for larger buildings will only take effect following the successful passage of secondary legislation through Parliament. This targeted approach focuses action where it delivers the greatest benefits, helping tenants in the largest rented buildings save energy and reduce their bills by £360 million\* per year by 2031, protecting them from future energy shocks. It is also expected to lower the energy demand from rented non-domestic buildings on the energy system – thereby strengthening our energy security and cutting carbon emissions. While continuing to improve the poorest‑performing buildings through the existing EPC E standard, we are giving additional flexibility to SMEs and high street landlords of smaller properties to upgrade their buildings over time, with no set deadline for going beyond this level. With a fair and proportionate timetable, the policy supports business investment, reduces exposure to volatile energy prices and strengthens UK energy security. Further detail on these proposals and implementation of the threshold will be set out in the forthcoming government response to the public consultations. The government aims to introduce legislation and updated guidance at the earliest opportunity, working with stakeholders to get the detail right. \*The figure of up to £360 million in bills savings for tenants in larger non-domestic buildings was estimated using the department’s discrete event simulation model. This is used to model packages of measures expected to be delivered under the regulations and estimates the impact, including on bills and EPC rating. An overarching description of the modelling approach is set out in the relevant consultation stage [Impact Assessment](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5da5c614ed915d17b7f321a1/non-domestic-prs-consultation-ia.pdf). Bill savings are calculated by valuing changes in modelled energy use in 2031 (the deadline for compliance) using projected retail energy prices for 2031, from the [Green Book supplementary guidance](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/valuation-of-energy-use-and-greenhouse-gas-emissions-for-appraisal). The estimated £360 million figure is subject to refinement as the policy develops.

The funding comes as the company surpasses €1 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) less than a year after entering the market. Rather than selling software to traditional property managers, the company manages residential properties directly through its proprietary technology platform, centrix, which handles customer interactions and operational processes end-to-end. The company is targeting a sector that remains largely analogue across Europe, characterised by fragmented workflows, low software adoption, and often poor customer experience. reltix aims to replace legacy operating models with an AI-first approach that delivers more efficient property management. In addition to managing properties directly, the company is building an open platform that connects partners across sectors such as energy, banking, and construction, positioning itself as a digital infrastructure layer for the real estate industry. Léon Alex Bamesreiter, Founder and CEO of reltix, said, “Building an AI-native property management business means transforming an industry long overdue for meaningful change.” Commenting on the investment, Tenity highlighted property management as a large, recurring market that has remained underserved for decades due to low software penetration, poor service levels, and fragmented operations. The firm pointed to reltix’s differentiated operating model, strong early execution, and ambition to build the foundational infrastructure layer for the sector with AI embedded across workflows.

As part of this, the Greater London Authority (GLA) will invest £100m to become part of the Silvertown Partnership and deliver 7,000 new homes on a key site in the Royal Docks, East London. Around 1,000 of the new homes are expected to be under construction by 2028. The announcement was made during the Mayor’s trade mission to Singapore and Japan, where he is promoting London as a global destination for investment. This marks a step towards City Hall becoming an active developer, intervening in London’s land market to maximise affordable housing delivery and accelerate the speed of building, rather than solely funding or supporting third parties. The approach is part of the Mayor’s new City Hall Developer initiative which is being supported by nearly £2bn from government in grant and low-interest loans at 0.1 per cent for the first time, helping housing associations boost the delivery of much-needed new homes. Silvertown is first in a pipeline of sites that Mayor plans to unlock through this initiative. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said, “I am delighted to be launching our groundbreaking ‘Singapore-style’ housing development arm for the capital today. I’m proud to be investing £100m – one of the largest investments made by any Mayor of London, to help build and deliver thousands of new, high-quality and affordable homes at Silvertown.” Ed Mayes, Executive Director of Development for the Silvertown Partnership, said, “Today’s agreement is an important step forward for Silvertown and reflects the strength of our new partnership with the Mayor of London. This investment provides the certainty needed to unlock a complex site that has remained dormant for decades, allowing us to accelerate new homes, including affordable housing, alongside a vibrant new town centre for the Royal Docks.” Catriona Simons, Group Chief Executive at The Guinness Partnership, said, “The Guinness Partnership welcomes the Mayor’s announcement. We are delighted to be delivering 734 much needed affordable, energy efficient homes in Newham. We have already welcomed 47 residents into the first 106 newly completed affordable homes, which will be part of this vibrant new neighbourhood, in the heart of East London. Along with partners and contractor Lendlease, we look forward to being part of Silvertown’s exciting future.” [Source](https://www.london.gov.uk/media-centre/mayors-press-release/SilvertownJV) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

By combining Local Logic’s trusted neighborhood intelligence with Infinityy’s AI-powered engagement platform, buyers can now gain deeper insight into both the property and the lifestyle surrounding it, while agents gain a better understanding of buyer preferences, interests, and intent. Through the integration, Infinityy Premium users gain direct access to Local Logic’s rich neighborhood reports and location insights, including information on walkability, schools, transportation, demographics, amenities, lifestyle characteristics, and local market context. Lisa Nickerson, CEO of Infinityy, said, “The future of real estate must advance listing experience and create access to context. Today’s buyers want to understand what life in and around a home will be like. Agents remain central to that experience, but they need better tools and deeper intelligence to guide decision-making. Bringing Local Logic’s neighborhood data into Infinityy’s AI-powered experience helps bridge that gap, giving buyers greater confidence while enabling agents to deliver more informed, strategic guidance.” Vincent-Charles Hodder, CEO & Co-Founder of Local Logic, said, “Buying a home is never just about the property. It’s about understanding the community, the lifestyle, and the everyday context that shapes whether a place truly feels right. Infinityy is creating a more interactive and intelligent way for buyers to explore listings, and we’re excited to bring Local Logic’s neighborhood intelligence into that experience.” [Source](https://locallogic.co/blog/infinityy-local-logic-partnership/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

GetCovered automates certificate of insurance (COI) tracking, policy administration, and embedded insurance workflows, helping property managers reduce compliance burdens and eliminate risk. Revyse is an AI-powered vendor intelligence platform built for multifamily teams, providing a single system to manage bids, contracts, credentials, and spend. Brandon T., Co-Founder and CEO of GetCovered, said, “By combining forces, we’re building the most comprehensive compliance infrastructure in multifamily real estate – one that already powers insurance compliance for more than 3 million rental units nationwide.” Bobbi Steward, CEO of Revyse, said, “Revyse was built for the messy middle, the edge cases, the exceptions, the workflows that don’t fit neatly into a single system.” With the acquisition of Revyse, GetCovered extends its capabilities into vendor compliance and contract management, creating the first unified platform that manages risk across both residents and vendors. Revyse’s approach to streamlining an archaic process complements GetCovered’s mission to simplify compliance through technology. Through the new GetCovered unified risk and compliance platform, users can automatically track important documents such as vendor COI and leverage AI to automatically assess performance and spend associated with vendors across large portfolios. The AI core on the platform brings vendor data alongside other key operational workflows, including renters, deposits, pets, spend and reputation, to ensure complete compliance.

The company has been built alongside an investor base that is a mix of institutional and non-institutional players managing hundreds of billions in private assets. Hypha has focused its early efforts on complex, data-intensive sectors including private credit, private equity, professional services, healthcare, senior housing and multifamily real estate, where systems have made portfolio management largely reactive, with investors relying on document-heavy workflows that limit efficiency and visibility. From the outset, the company has partnered with firms including MONTICELLOAM, LLC and 980Investments to build its platform around real underwriting and asset management processes. MONTICELLOAM, LLC, a lender in senior housing and healthcare real estate, worked closely with Hypha as a design partner to translate its credit workflows into a scalable system, embedding institutional knowledge into the platform’s intelligence layer. “Senior Housing and Healthcare lending is an intensely competitive space – and over 40 years, our guiding principle has always been the same: protect our clients. We’ve invested heavily in building our own technology to do exactly that. Hypha takes us to the next level – embedding our institutional knowledge into the platform so we can move with precision and confidence across the full investment lifecycle, at the speed the market demands,” said Alan Litt, Principal, Co-Founder and Board Member at MONTICELLOAM, LLC. The round is backed by insiders spanning the investment ecosystem, including banking services, private credit, private equity, real estate and legal services. Many are also customers and active design partners. Hypha is working closely with these investors to integrate their domain expertise and real-world insight into its platform as it builds a unified system for investment data and IP. Peter Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Hypha, said, “Alongside our investors and customers, we have seen how disconnected legacy systems remain across every stage and vertical of asset management and where the greatest opportunities exist. Hypha was built to eliminate complexity, unifying the entire ecosystem within a singular operating platform for the industry.” Simcha Hyman, Co-Founder of Hypha, said, “With this raise, we’re betting that Hypha will shape the tools of this new era and enable direct collaboration across the entire asset lifecycle.” The funding will be used to expand Hypha’s engineering, go-to-market, design and marketing teams, accelerate product development and support the expansion of its R&D presence in Tel Aviv.

On the new launch, KIA said it adds long-term capital and global investment reach. NVIDIA will serve as a strategic partner to support the deployment of NVIDIA DSX AI factory-aligned infrastructure with a view to maximising tokens per watt, achieving lowest total cost of ownership and accelerating time to first token for investments pursued by Helix. Adam Selipsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Helix Digital Infrastructure, said, “Helix combines long-term capital with the capabilities and expertise to deliver holistic AI infrastructure solutions with speed and scale. Helix is further strengthened by strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and Vistra across technology and power, which we believe will enable the company to deliver the infrastructure that will underpin hyperscalers’ AI strategies for years to come.” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “With the NVIDIA DSX platform and the Helix strategic partnership, we are bringing together a proven AI factory blueprint, infrastructure expertise from KKR, and long-term capital to help AI cloud providers build the next generation of intelligence infrastructure.” Jim Burke, the President and CEO of Vistra, said, “Helix brings together data center development, infrastructure and power capabilities under a single umbrella. By utilising Vistra’s existing fleet to deliver near-term power, Helix will accelerate delivery of power solutions through the use of existing assets while also bringing additionality with Vistra’s capabilities, including power generation development and power grid expertise.” [Source](https://www.tradearabia.com/News/463659/Kuwait-fund-joins-NVIDIA%2C-KKR-and-Vistra-to-launch-%2410bn-AI-infrastructure-firm/IND) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by Dutch energy-tech investor SET Ventures, with Berlin-based climate-tech fund AENU participating as co-lead. At the core of GALVANY’s offering is a connected energy platform built around its proprietary GALVANY Cube hardware, produced in partnership with Panasonic in Pilsen. The system integrates heat pumps, battery storage, and GALVANY Fusion energy management software to help households and property owners optimise energy use and costs. Raik Belka, CEO and Founder of GALVANY, said, “We are building the infrastructure that will help make the heat transition work in existing buildings. In Germany, heat pumps do not fail because of the technology itself, but because of the challenges surrounding subsidies, installation capacity, and economic viability for end customers. Our platform is designed to address these issues by improving efficiency across the entire value chain while creating a sustainable business model.” The company is also preparing to launch a consumer app that will enable users to monitor and manage their energy systems digitally.

The integration of First Street’s data and tools into MSCI’s extensive climate and geospatial solutions will enable quantified assessments of financially relevant physical climate risk at any geographic coordinate and across more than 2 billion structures worldwide. These additional capabilities can help institutions meet rising regulatory and reporting requirements while supporting physical risk management and adaptation and resilience planning. The acquisition strengthens MSCI’s leadership in climate investment tools and research, building on expertise in geospatial intelligence, climate scenario analysis and transition finance to deliver greater transparency, innovation and scalability. Richard Mattison, Head of Sustainability and Climate at MSCI, said, “The financial consequences of where assets are located have come into sharp focus due to the recent geopolitical turmoil, supply chain disruption and the growing impact of climate hazards. In response, investors, lenders and insurers are increasingly looking for more in-depth and actionable analysis of the physical risk held in the footprint of a company’s operations and investments.” Matthew Eby, Founder and CEO at First Street, said, “First Street was built on the simple conviction that every financial decision should account for a changing climate. We built the Climate Risk Financial Modeling (CRFM) category to turn that conviction into reality. Joining MSCI puts our property-level science in front of the investors, lenders and insurers and turns climate risk from a disclosure exercise into a daily input for how capital is priced and allocated.” [Source](https://www.msci.com/discover-msci/media-room/msci-acquires-first-street-to-enhance-physical-climate-risk-capabilities-for-financial-decision-making) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The round was led by FCVC. Other investors include the Y Combinator, 20VC, Cherry Ventures, Zero Prime Ventures, Transpose Platform and Sequoia Capital Scout. Raymond Zhao, co-founder and CEO of StructuredAI, said, “We trained our own computer vision models. Over the last couple of years, vision has gotten really good and identifying the marks on documents and checking them against work in the field has been unlocked.” Structured AI’s optical recognition platform runs QA checks across entire drawing sets before a senior engineer reviews them. Engineer Syska Hennessy Group has been testing the platform and helping StructuredAI develop its platform. Robert Ioanna, executive vice president of Syska Hennessy Group in New York, said, “About four years ago, we invested in them as one of our seed stage companies, and we also partner with them with sort of a goal of seeing innovation and change in the industry. By partnering with some of these startups and giving them access, we get a tool that we really like and can use that’s custom built.” Early on in their partnership, Syska Hennessy engineers told Zhao and the Structured AI team that MEP coordination was a common pain point. That feedback eventually evolved into the OCR and AI-powered platform that addresses all manner of QA/QC issues on projects.

The investment brings the company’s total funding to $2.5m, following a $500,000 pre-seed round completed in 2025. According to Rentify, Earn AI has been trained on live rental unit data, tenant payment behaviour, renewal patterns, pricing gaps and occupancy risks generated through its platform. Based on analysis of its existing customer portfolio, the company estimates landlords and property managers may be leaving between 8 per cent and 14 per cent of annual rental income unrealised due to pricing lag, unmanaged tenant churn and payment leakage. The company claims the platform is the rental revenue management solution in the region built natively in Arabic, designed specifically around GCC tenancy structures, payment systems and landlord-tenant dynamics. Rajneel Kumar, co-founder and chief operating officer of Rentify, said, “Most landlords can’t answer the most basic question about their own portfolio: which unit is under-earning, and by how much. The answer, on average, is eight to fourteen per cent of annual rental income lost to pricing lag, unmanaged churn and payment leakage. That’s not a data problem. It’s an infrastructure problem.” Rashed Hareb Al Mheiri, co-founder and chief executive officer of Rentify, said “The company aims to create a unified operating system for rental real estate by combining rent collection, embedded finance, tenant rewards and AI-driven revenue optimisation into a single platform.” The newly raised capital will be used to enhance Earn AI’s modelling capabilities, expand its autonomous agent layer, grow its property manager access programme and support international market expansion.

The Berlin-based company insulates single-family homes in one day at a fixed price and builds the execution capacity behind it through its own training program and a network of established trade firms. The round is led by ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund, with GET Fund as co-lead. Aurum Impact joins as a new investor, alongside existing investors Emerge VC, Pale blue dot, and noa. Christian Gruener, CEO and Co-Founder of VARM, said, “In the next ten years we must upgrade high-emission buildings to become energy-efficient. The most effective way to do that is insulation. Scaling in this area is therefore an infrastructure task.” At the core of VARM’s model is its partner program: established trade firms – painters, drywall installers, building services technicians, and related trades – add insulation to their offering and run it within their own company, backed by VARM’s software, processes, and lead access. VARM trains their crews on its own insulation method and shares the operating standard it has refined across thousands of jobs. Christian Grüner said, “From day one, our goal has been to build the infrastructure for the heat transition. That’s why we built an AI platform that manages every step from the first customer contact to completed insulation. This enables us to deliver at a speed the market has not been able to achieve to date.” [Source](https://www.varm.earth/wissen/varm-closes-series-a) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Through this partnership, AvalonBay will use Zenerate’s enterprise software platform to support early-stage development feasibility workflows. Zenerate’s platform helps development teams evaluate site potential, generate and compare design scenarios, review unit mix and parking assumptions, and analyse project feasibility during the earliest stages of decision-making. For multifamily developers, these early evaluations are critical to understanding whether a site aligns with project goals, development constraints, and investment strategy before moving deeper into acquisition, design, financing, or entitlement. By using Zenerate, AvalonBay teams can explore multiple development scenarios and gain insight into how different site planning assumptions may affect project outcomes. The platform is designed to help teams move from initial site review to actionable feasibility analysis with consistency. Benji Shin, CEO of Zenerate, said, “We are experiencing a powerful push for AI Transformation firsthand from global real estate development and management firms. In fact, numerous global enterprises are already collaborating with us through the Zenerate platform and our custom software development services. This demand has grown exponentially this year compared to last.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/zenerate-announces-partnership-with-avalonbay-communities-to-support-early-stage-multifamily-feasibility-analysis-302812861.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The transaction secures Barclays’ control of its global headquarters beyond the current lease term, which runs to 2039, while providing greater certainty over long-term occupancy costs. The transaction values the acquired leasehold interest at £750 million and is expected to be broadly neutral to Barclays Group’s CET1 ratio and earnings. The acquisition also supports Barclays’ ongoing investment in its workplace, enabling the creation of high-quality, flexible space for colleagues as working patterns and business needs continue to evolve. The building provides over 1 million sq ft of workspace and has served as Barclays’ global headquarters since 2005. CS Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive at Barclays, said, “One Churchill Place has been our home and global headquarters for more than two decades. It is where our colleagues come together to innovate, build relationships and to serve our customers, clients and communities in the UK and around the world. This acquisition gives us long-term certainty, greater flexibility over our London footprint and reinforces our continued confidence in London as one of the world’s leading global financial centres.” Shobi Khan, Chief Executive Officer of CWG, added, “Barclays’ decision to acquire its global headquarters at One Churchill Place is a strong endorsement of both Canary Wharf and London. It underlines the long-term confidence that leading businesses continue to place in the district as a location where they can invest, grow and bring people together. Canary Wharf offers access to nature and green spaces, waterside surroundings, retail, hospitality and a broad range of amenities that make it an exceptional place to work and conduct business.” [Source](https://home.barclays/news/press-releases/20260/060/barclays-acquires-global-headquarters-at-one-churchill-place-fro/) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The acquisition adds over 2,000 fully managed properties to the Dwelly network and brings with it offices in Manchester, Birmingham, London, and Singapore, providing Dwelly with an established international platform and strengthening its presence within the UK investment and property management sectors. Sam Humphreys, Head of M&A, Dwelly, said, “This is a hugely important acquisition for Dwelly because it represents something entirely new for the business. Settio has built an international platform, connecting investors from around the world with opportunities across the UK property market. Through impressive organic growth, the business has established a strong reputation that extends far beyond the cities in which it operates.” Samuel Fitz-Hugh, Co-Founder, Settio, said, “We’ve always prioritised client experience and transparency in a sector known to lack in both. Joining Dwelly allows us to continue that journey from a position of strength. Their investment in technology, operations, and people creates significant opportunities for the brand we’ve worked so hard to create, our team of amazing people, and most importantly, our clients who trust us with their assets. We’re excited about what comes next.” Chris Parsonage, Co-Founder, Settio, said, “What makes this acquisition particularly exciting is the alignment between Settio and Dwelly.

This marks a step forward in Bridgepoint’s strategy to build a globally scaled and diversified middle-market private markets platform. The acquisition is complementary to Bridgepoint’s existing platform. It adds real estate as a fifth investment vertical, expands the firm’s presence in the United States, and further diversifies its sources of recurring fee income. The transaction also creates a scaled real assets platform, with real assets representing almost half of the Bridgepoint Group’s AUM. Its footprint will be broadly balanced between the United States and Europe, enhancing diversification across both strategies and geographies and providing exposure to the two investment trends of power infrastructure and demographics. Raoul Hughes, Chief Executive of Bridgepoint, said, “Real estate is a growing private markets asset class and Kayne Anderson Real Estate has built a position as a scaled specialist with an exceptional track record and strong fundraising momentum. Adding Kayne Anderson Real Estate creates a more balanced and diversified platform, with around half of our AUM invested in real assets and around half of our management fees generated in the US.” Al Rabil, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kayne Anderson Real Estate, said, “Joining together with Bridgepoint provides additional global resources to capitalise on this opportunity and support our continued growth. Importantly, this partnership allows us to preserve our culture and investment approach while continuing to manage the business as we always have.” [Source](https://www.bridgepointgroup.com/about-us/news-and-insights/press-releases/2026/bridgepoint-to-acquire-kayne-anderson-real-estate-strengthening-its-position-as-a-leading-global-middle-market-private-markets-platform) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The company will use the funding to expand its engineering and infrastructure teams, accelerate R&D and deepen its presence across North America and Europe. Its long-term goal is to automate the development lifecycle, from site selection and due diligence through permitting, engineering, pre-construction and asset management, creating what it calls “agentic real estate”. James Stirrat-Ellis, co-founder and CEO of Build, said, “The industries shaping the physical world have spent decades trapped in process instead of creativity. By removing that operational burden, we can help teams move faster, make better decisions and deliver better infrastructure. That’s the long-term opportunity and we’re only at the beginning of it.” Martin Mignot, partner at Index Ventures, said, “Build represents a new generation of AI companies focused on delivering actual work rather than simply improving software workflows. James and Ben have combined deep technical capability with real operational understanding of how critical infrastructure gets built. The infrastructure challenge is global and what the team has achieved before launch is extraordinary.” Ophelia Cai, partner at Tiny.vc, said, “What stood out immediately about Build was the ambition of the vision and the speed of execution. James and Ben understood early that AI was about to move beyond software and begin transforming how real-world work gets done. Infrastructure remains one of the largest untapped opportunities for AI and Build is creating a completely new model for how critical projects are delivered.” ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

As part of the transaction, Maklare AI co-founder Oliver Wenner joins Premarket as chief operating officer, bringing AI capabilities that accelerate Premarket’s intelligence roadmap. Residential real estate has long operated with near-complete opacity on buyer demand, relying on anecdotal agent intelligence and historical transaction data to make critical pricing and timing decisions. Maklare AI was founded to develop proprietary AI infrastructure to structure previously siloed and unstructured demand data, extracting actionable signals from buyer behavior, preferences, and intent that have historically disappeared the moment a conversation ends. Brett Helberg, founder and CEO of Premarket, said, “Premarket exists to rebuild that shared infrastructure, but on better terms for every agent, brokerage, and their clients. Bringing Oliver and Maklare’s AI capabilities into Premarket means we can now do that for both supply and demand simultaneously. It’s a meaningful acceleration of everything we’re building.” Oliver Wenner, Maklare AI co-founder and CEO, said, “Real estate has always been a supply-side industry – the stock of available properties is generally known, tracked, and marketed. The demand side has operated in complete opacity. Agents know their own clients, but the market has no structured view of aggregate demand, directional intent, or forward-looking buyer signals. Inside Premarket, with real inventory and real buyers at scale, we can build the demand intelligence layer this market has never had.” [Source](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/premarket-acquires-maklare-ai-to-build-residential-real-estates-first-demand-intelligence-platform-302811053.html) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

article: Higharc Raises $95M Series C to Scale AI for Homebuilding](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/higharc.png) Higharc, the homebuilding AI company for the full design-to-construction lifecycle, has announced it has raised a $95 million Series C led by Insight Partners. The round brings Higharc’s total funding to more than $170 million. Simultaneously, Higharc announced an agreement with US LBM, the private distributor of lumber and building materials in the United States, marking the expansion of Higharc’s platform to the building materials supply chain. Marc Minor, CEO and co-founder of Higharc, said, “AI isn’t just assisting builders. It’s reshaping how builders work, cutting time and cost per job while giving buyers a more personalized experience. The builders and distributors leading the way use AI to automate their most complex workflows unlocking teams to focus on product improvement and customer experience.” The new funding will be used to scale AI product development and expand the platform to a broader segment of the homebuilding market. Minor explained, “Everything we’re building is in service of one outcome: to make homebuilding seamless so builders can build better homes more affordably. This next phase is about scaling that impact by deepening our AI capabilities and bringing suppliers onto the same trusted system builders already rely on.” [Source](https://www.higharc.com/newsroom/higharc-95m-series-c-for-homebuilding-ai) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

The transaction will result in CoStar Group acquiring an approximately 30% stake in Wikicasa. Wikicasa’s shareholder base includes Italy’s real estate agencies, including Tecnocasa, Gabetti Group, REMAX Italy, and Gruppo Tempocasa. The investment brings together Wikicasa’s local network and expertise with CoStar Group’s technology, scale and global marketplace reach. As an initial step, this will create opportunities to broaden the visibility of Wikicasa’s commercial listings through LoopNet, helping connect Italian properties with a wider global audience. Furthermore, while Matterport is already used by some of Italy’s real estate agencies, Wikicasa’s network will accelerate the adoption of Matterport’s 3D digital twins and artificial intelligence technologies across both the commercial and residential markets in Italy. Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group, said, “We are delighted to have reached an agreement to invest alongside Italy’s agents in Wikicasa. We’ve been impressed with what the shareholders and management team have achieved to date and believe there is an opportunity to create value by bringing our technology, global scale, and continued focus on innovation to the Italian property market.” Pietro Pellizzari, CEO of Wikicasa, said, “CoStar Group’s investment in Wikicasa is a milestone in our growth journey. We are excited to combine our local expertise and agent network with CoStar Group’s technology, scale, and global reach, creating new opportunities for the Italian real estate market.” [Source](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260701852069/en/CoStar-Group-Invests-in-Wikicasa-Italys-Agent-Backed-Real-Estate-Marketplace) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

Michael Sherman, SVP Rentals at Zillow, commented, “Starting today, renters can find Zillow listings and book tours directly in Google Gemini. Most renters don’t search in one place. They’re bouncing between apps, tabs, and texts to friends, restarting the process every time they switch. Zillow Rentals is the real estate platform with a connected app inside Gemini. A renter finds a tour time that works, and it gets booked through Zillow, no app switch required.

Innovation (UKRI) and Eco Group to help it address the housing crisis. VASO Global is a housebuilding company which takes waste glass and transforms it into panels which can deliver low‑carbon, modular homes and buildings. The company merges digital design, integrated manufacture and semi-autonomous construction, to provide low-carbon homes, enabling it to respond to the UK’s need to construct more homes at a faster pace. The recent funding will enable VASO Global to develop manufacturing processes at its new 60,000 square feet manufacturing site, located in Dumfries. Eddie Black, VASO global co-founder and managing director, said, “The latest investment from PXN Ventures and Scottish Enterprise, along with all our other funders, accelerates our journey to deliver a product which can genuinely reshape how homes are delivered. We would like to also thank Professor Sean Smith at the The University of Edinburgh for his reports and expert support, funded by the UKRI Centre for Net Zero High Density Buildings, which has helped underpin VASO’s plans and products to reach this stage of our development.” [Source](https://www.scottishhousingnews.com/articles/vaso-global-secures-over-ps5m-in-funding-to-address-housing-emergency) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

HousApp helps real estate agents automate administrative tasks and manage their workflows, allowing them to spend more time with clients. The company aims to support agents throughout the entire sales process, from the first interaction with a seller to the completion of a property transaction. Sebastiaan Kloppenborg, CEO of HousApp, said, “Our growth shows that the market is ready for a new generation of software. We are building HousApp into the platform where agents manage every step of their workflow, from first interaction with a seller to the final property transfer. The platform handles the heavy lifting, so agents can close deals faster.” Earlier this year, HousApp expanded its presence in the Dutch market through the acquisition of proptech company Friva. Today, the platform serves customers ranging from independent agents and boutique agencies to large brokerage chains. The funding will support product development, strengthen HousApp’s engineering team and accelerate the company’s expansion as it continues to develop its AI-native platform for the real estate sector.

AI-Supported Building Renovation](https://proptechconnect.com/fuchs-eule-raises-e10-million-for-ai-supported-building-renovation/) **Published:** July 8, 2026 **Author:** PropTech Connect **Content:** # Fuchs & Eule Raises €10 Million For AI-Supported Building Renovation [ Linkedin ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proptech-connect/) Shared 8 July, 2026 ![Read article: Fuchs & Eule Raises €10 Million For AI-Supported Building Renovation](https://proptechconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Fuchs-and-eule-funding.png) Fuchs & Eule has raised €10 million financing round is led by GET Fund as the lead investor. New investors PI Impact and WaVe-X, as well as existing investors SET Ventures, Picus Capital, and Realyze Ventures, are also participating. The funds will primarily be used to expand the company’s digital business model, for example, for AI technologies, the development of intelligent screening tools, data-driven analyses, and customised renovation consulting. The goal is to create the foundation for transforming real estate portfolios into more energy-efficient properties. Data-driven in-house analyses and AI-supported solutions are essential for this. This allows for renovation decisions to be made with maximum precision and for portfolios to be developed in a way that increases their value. According to an evaluation of completed projects to date, an average of 21.6 tons of CO₂ per building per year has been saved thanks to Fuchs & Eule’s technologies. Tobias Frese, Co-CEO of Fuchs & Eule, said, “The biggest hurdle is not the willingness to renovate, but the complexity of the decisions. We make them manageable with AI-supported analyses, clear recommendations for action and sound advice for the entire real estate portfolio.” Isabelle Canu, Partner at GET Fund, said, “I have been involved in building renovations since their introduction in 2005 and have repeatedly been frustrated by the blanket recommendations of uniform but inconsistent quality. Fuchs & Eule stands out because it translates building physics insights into tailored renovation measures that are both energy-efficient and economically sound. That’s why I’m very pleased to support the team.” [Source](https://www.presseportal.de/pm/182965/6310233) ## See more Real Estate News & Insights...

One Raven is the privacy-focused smart home platform built from the hardware up. At its center is the One Raven Home Server, which allows every device to run locally and keeps homeowner data on the home network. Homeowners can securely access and manage the system remotely, with no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no behavioral data quietly monetised in the background. The One Raven system pairs the Home Server with smart devices that work without sending the home’s data to the cloud. Homeowners can configure each home with the devices they want, including thermostats, locks, leak detection and security sensors and every system arrives pre-paired and factory-configured. Lucas Haldeman, co-founder and CEO of One Raven, said, “We spent a decade building the smart home for the Renters and Commercial Owners of multifamily portfolios. One Raven is for every homeowner who wants a modern living experience while maintaining their privacy.” This shift is arriving at a moment when consumers are increasingly concerned about privacy and longevity of connected devices. A November 2024 Federal Trade Commission staff report found that 89% of smart products surveyed failed to disclose how long they would receive software updates.

we’re actively building our network here. I’d love to meet Heads of Land, Development Directors, Heads of Acquisitions, and Investment Managers at UK developers, REITs, BTR and PBSA operators, and real estate funds, especially teams who still pull planning, density, and viability data from five different sources before they can price a site. Equally keen to connect with PropTech founders, investors, and ecosystem partners building the decision layer for real estate. Bio: Matthias Zühlke is Co-Founder and CEO of syte, the property intelligence platform that lets developers, investors, and asset managers evaluate any site in minutes instead of weeks. An architect by training, Matthias spent over a decade leading real estate projects as managing partner at a German architecture practice before founding syte in 2021 to solve a problem he kept running into himself: site evaluation that still took weeks while millions were at stake on every deal. He has built and led multiple ventures at the intersection of architecture and technology. Today syte is the German market leader in property intelligence and is now expanding into the UK as one of its first international markets.

A leading real estate group that has been operating in Dubai since 2008. A highly driven and enthusiastic individual with twenty years of experience in real estate, Lewis’ journey setting up Allsopp and Allsopp began with only four employees and now, 16 years later, employs nearly 500 people. Lewis’ trajectory as the company’s Chairman began with his consistent drive towards excellence enabling Lewis to position Allsopp & Allsopp as one of the main references in real estate in Dubai and beyond. His solution-driven approach and an overall positive attitude enabled him to perform multiple roles during the company’s early days until Allsopp & Allsopp’s growth led him to take a back seat on the sales team and allowed him to perform his leadership skills as the company’s Sales Director in 2011. As Allsopp & Allsopp’s Chairman, his objectives continue to drive excellence and overall progression plans for the company and its 500 employees. Under his vision, the business has expanded to twice its size by investing in the people at Allsopp & Allsopp, as well as the right tools and technology to implement data into the hands of the team. Lewis believes the secret to success is employing driven professionals, providing the learning tools they may need, and nurturing them to perform to their potential. His leadership skills, founded through his friendly nature, loyalty, and willingness to learn and educate, have enabled him to retain most of the colleagues who started Allsopp & Allsopp with him. He believes these factors set a company up for a healthy culture, which can only be accomplished by building a sustainable workplace and offering people a place to grow professionally and personally. Under his leadership, Lewis Allsopp aims in the year 2023 to successfully launch other subsidiary companies within the Allsopp & Allsopp group and looks forward to an expansion across different companies and teams. As for his achievements, his adventurous spirit has led him to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and complete the London Marathon.

Lewis’ trajectory as the company’s Chairman began with his consistent drive towards excellence enabling Lewis to position Allsopp & Allsopp as one of the main references in real estate in Dubai and beyond. His solution-driven approach and an overall positive attitude enabled him to perform multiple roles during the company’s early days until Allsopp & Allsopp’s growth led him to take a back seat on the sales team and allowed him to perform his leadership skills as the company’s Sales Director in 2011.

Under his vision, the business has expanded to twice its size by investing in the people at Allsopp & Allsopp, as well as the right tools and technology to implement data into the hands of the team. Lewis believes the secret to success is employing driven professionals, providing the learning tools they may need, and nurturing them to perform to their potential. His leadership skills, founded through his friendly nature, loyalty, and willingness to learn and educate, have enabled him to retain most of the colleagues who started Allsopp & Allsopp with him. He believes these factors set a company up for a healthy culture, which can only be accomplished by building a sustainable workplace and offering people a place to grow professionally and personally. Under his leadership, Lewis Allsopp aims in the year 2023 to successfully launch other subsidiary companies within the Allsopp & Allsopp group and looks forward to an expansion across different companies and teams. As for his achievements, his adventurous spirit has led him to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and complete the London Marathon.
