By opening up its infrastructure, Ownright is empowering developers to build seamless, client-first closing experiences at scale.

As Canada’s proptech market continues its rapid expansion, expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.6% from 2023 to 2030, the need for interoperable, scalable solutions has never been more urgent. The Ownright Developer Platform offers exactly that, a foundational infrastructure that allows forward-thinking real estate companies to deliver more cohesive client experiences, streamline operations, and build innovative digital workflows around real estate closings.

“Buying a home is one of the biggest moments in someone’s life, and we want to make that experience better, not just through Ownright, but by supporting the platforms people already trust,” said Robert Saunders, co-founder and CEO of Ownright. “This launch is about helping our partners grow by giving them the tools to build smoother, more transparent closing experiences right into their products. We’re proud to play a meaningful role in shaping a more seamless homeownership journey for Canadians.”

With the Ownright Developer Platform, proptech companies can seamlessly embed trusted legal services into their products. This plug-and-play infrastructure streamlines operations, reduces manual work, and provides real-time visibility into transactions, helping partners scale faster and deliver a transparent, digital-first experience to users.

What’s included in the Ownright Developer Platform?

• Refer clients instantly: Trigger legal service handoffs with a single API call with no manual coordination required.
• Track closing status in real time: Monitor the full closing journey via API and keep your users in the loop with up-to-date timelines and statuses.
• Receive webhook notifications: Get automatic alerts as key events happen, like when a transaction closes, so your platform stays in sync without polling or delays.

“As a tech-first real estate brokerage, Buy.ca values seamless communication and digital efficiency – areas where Ownright truly excels,” said Senthu Velnayagam, co-founder and CEO of Buy.ca. “In an industry often slowed by outdated processes, their transparent and user-friendly closing experience has been a breath of fresh air for our team, agents, and clients. Now, with the launch of their developer portal, we can integrate Ownright directly into Buy.ca’s search platform and enhance our planned client portal. We’re very excited about this update as it will empower our clients with timely access to critical information and resources, and help us build an even better client experience.”

This launch reinforces Ownright’s broader mission to simplify the homeownership journey by making real estate transactions more accessible, transparent, and efficient. By empowering partners with easy-to-integrate legal solutions, Ownright is not only enhancing the closing experience for buyers, sellers, and agents but also driving a digital transformation that benefits the entire Canadian real estate ecosystem.

• New project, announced at VivaTech 2025, aims to address housing, urban densification and ecological conservation challenges in the southeastern region of New Brunswick
• Collaborative virtual environments will enable stakeholders to model, analyze and plan sustainable solutions for growing populations in Dieppe and Moncton
• Dassault Systèmes will use its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a virtual twin of a zone in New Brunswick enriched with territorial data from the Université de Moncton and other local partners

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3DEXPERIENCE—Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and the Université de Moncton, Canada’s largest French-language university outside Québec, today announced the launch of a new project aimed to solve housing, urban densification and ecological conservation challenges in the southeastern region of New Brunswick, Canada. The partnership was signed at VivaTech 2025 in Paris.

The six-month project will develop collaborative virtual environments to model, analyze and plan sustainable urban development in the cities of Dieppe and Moncton – two of Canada’s fastest growing metropolitan areas in the last 20 years – all while establishing a protected wildlife corridor in the southeastern part of New Brunswick.

In addition to the Université de Moncton and Dassault Systèmes, the project brings together several Canadian partners: the cities of Dieppe and Moncton, the Southeast Regional Service Commission, Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, and the New Brunswick-based businesses Black Arcs and Remsoft.

Dassault Systèmes will use its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create, maintain and analyze a virtual twin of a zone in New Brunswick measuring approximately 386 miles² (1,000 km²). This virtual twin is enriched with territorial data on buildings, zoning, mobility, biodiversity and more, provided by the partners.

Stakeholders will use this virtual twin to share information, test and evaluate different planning scenarios, evaluate the impacts of urban densification, and make informed decisions to optimize housing planning and preserve ecological corridors that are essential to the region’s environmental wellbeing.

“Our partnership will enable the Université de Moncton to benefit from a large-scale territory virtual twin that is delivered quickly through a managed solution that reduces costs and risks. Local stakeholders will be able to simulate what-if scenarios, evaluate options and take informed decisions – all on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform – to solve complex real-life challenges and optimize quality of life in the region of New Brunswick,” said Josephine Ong, Vice President, Cities and Public Services Industry, Dassault Systèmes.

“This partnership with Dassault Systèmes positions the Université de Moncton at the forefront of digital innovation applied to urban and environmental issues. We are proud to put our expertise at the service of a project with strong regional and international impact,” said Francis LeBlanc, associate vice-rector for research and dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, Université de Moncton.

This collaboration was made possible thanks to the support of Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB), which played a key role in fostering the connection between Dassault Systèmes and the Université de Moncton.

“New Brunswick is truly a hub of innovation and collaboration. This partnership demonstrates the strength of the connections between research, industry, and regional development. Together, we are creating solutions that have a real local impact and significant global potential,” said Luke Randall, minister responsible for Opportunities New Brunswick.

This project represents an important step forward for urban development in New Brunswick. By combining Dassault Systèmes’ technology with local expertise, it will help plan city growth more effectively while protecting the environment. The approach could also serve as a model for other regions in Canada and beyond.

Leverages AI-powered technology to revolutionize our customer’s utility bill processing

COLUMBUS, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Intellinetics, Inc. (NYSE American: INLX), a digital transformation solutions provider, is pleased to announce that a leading Canadian-based homebuilder and land development company has signed a contract to implement its IntelliCloud™ Payables Automation System. The sale was driven by the new Automated Utility Invoice Coding module and represents $100K in Total Contract Value (TCV) with over $41K in annual SaaS revenue. The customer is scheduled to go live by July 31, 2025.

For homebuilders and other organizations that receive many utility invoices, general ledger coding and processing can be a major drain on time, energy, and resources. With high invoice volumes, complex allocations, manual data entry risks, and siloed information, the process is often inefficient and prone to errors like double payment. The Automated Utility Invoice Coding module, introduced to the market in March 2025, harnesses licensed AI-powered technology to revolutionize utility bill coding with low or no-touch processing. The module automatically identifies the lot number and determines its status (model, spec, or completed) and then assigns accurate coding for utilities like gas, electric, water, HOA, and property tax.

“We have had some great feedback since we introduced the Automated Utility Invoice Coding module during a webinar in March,” said James F. DeSocio, President & CEO at Intellinetics. “In fact, another new customer told us they are already processing over 15,000 utility invoices a month through the system and over 80% are touchless! That’s within 60 days of going live. Every month, the percentage of touchless invoices increases for the customer.”

“Despite the challenges affecting homebuilders, such as tariffs and interest, demand for our Payables Automation solutions continue to grow because our product saves them time and money,” said DeSocio. “During times of economic uncertainty, investing in process efficiency becomes crucial because it strengthens a company’s ability to adapt, reduce costs, and maintain profitability. By streamlining operations and identifying inefficiencies, businesses can become more agile and resilient, better positioning them for taking advantage in the upswing.”

Continued DeSocio, “As reference accounts grow and share their story that our solutions are cost-effective with a tangible return on investment, particularly in a downturn, we remain confident in our payables automation solution for generating significant SaaS revenue growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intellinetics uses the metric of Total Contract Value as a key performance indicator that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Total Contract Value does not have the effect of excluding, including, or adjusting an otherwise GAAP financial measure, and as such, is not a non-GAAP financial measure.

Total Contract Value: Estimated total future revenues from a particular contracted project. This refers to contracts or projects that have been awarded by our customers, and it presumes the provision of all software, subscription services, and/or professional services, with no termination of any awarded contracts. There can be no guarantee that all work will be completed during any fiscal period, or that the contracts will not be terminated before all the estimated future revenues are earned, received, and/or recognized. Total Contract Value is a performance measure that the Company believes provides useful information to its management and investors as it allows the Company to better track the Company’s current sales performance, without any adjustment to exclude revenues that will not be earned, received, or recognized until future periods. Total Contract Value may refer to new sales in any of our revenue categories, including SaaS, perpetual software licenses, maintenance, storage and retrieval, and professional services, to new or existing customers. Total Contract Value is not a substitute for total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to Total Contract Value, so the Company has not reconciled the Total Contract Value to any GAAP measure.

VAUDREUIL-DORION, Québec–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Harden announces the strategic sale of a 27-acre portion of Méga Centre Notre-Dame in Laval to Rosefellow, a leading Montreal-based industrial real estate developer for a purchase price of $75M This transaction marks a key milestone in the site’s transformation, supporting broader redevelopment efforts and reinforcing a long-term commitment to enhancing Laval’s economic and commercial vitality. Harden co-owns the property with RioCan in a 50% partnership which is dedicated to the site’s evolution and its strategic importance to the region.

As part of a shared vision to unlock the full potential of this highly visible and accessible site along Highway 13, the Harden-RioCan partnership is reinvesting in the retail component of the property following the sale. The portion sold to Rosefellow was a less productive area of the site. This strategic disposition enables targeted reinvestment into the retail core of Méga Centre Notre-Dame, accelerating its transformation into a productive, dynamic destination for residents, workers, and visitors alike.

“We are proud to continue our role in strengthening Laval’s retail and commercial environment,” said Tyler Harden, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Harden. “This sale supports a broader redevelopment vision that brings new energy and economic growth to the area. With new retailers like Sephora already open, Krispy Kreme on the way, and major expansions by iconic brands such as Winners/HomeSense, Gap, Banana Republic, La Vie En Rose, Dollarama and Poulet Rouge, Méga Centre Notre-Dame is entering a new chapter that reflects our dedication to creating lasting value for residents and businesses alike.”

This transformation includes the expansion of Winners/HomeSense into one of the largest stores of its kind in Quebec, with a footprint of approximately 70,000 square feet, and a significant expansion by Dollarama. These enhancements, coupled with the arrival of high-profile brands like Sephora, reinforce the centre’s appeal and solidify its role as a commercial anchor in Laval.

“This transaction highlights the strength of our retail portfolio and our ability to strategically unlock value from well-located assets,” said Jonathan Gitlin, President and CEO, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust. “By monetizing a less productive portion of the site at an 80% premium to IFRS value and reinvesting in its high-performing core, we have strengthened the long-term viability of Méga Centre Notre-Dame and delivered meaningful value for our unitholders.”

Rosefellow’s planned $200 million redevelopment will introduce three state-of-the-art industrial buildings, meeting the growing regional demand for high-performance logistics and light industrial space. This development will complement the centre’s retail operations, creating a mixed-use hub that draws value from both sectors while serving the evolving needs of the community.

A dynamic tenant reconfiguration is already underway, with established retailers like GAP, Banana Republic, La Vie En Rose, Carter’s OshKosh, Dormez-Vous, Dollarama, Sushi Shop, Thai Express, Service Canada, and SQDC relocating within the site to optimize layout and enhance the shopping experience. This reimagining also makes room for innovative new concepts, including Mondou’s next-generation store and a refreshed Second Cup café, adding renewed energy and tenant mix to the centre.

Harden, in partnership with RioCan, continues to actively manage and enhance the remaining portions of Méga Centre Notre-Dame. A portion of these improvements is already complete, reflecting the partners’ ongoing commitment to improve the site’s layout, aesthetics, and visitor experience. This sustained effort underscores their dedication to shaping vibrant, welcoming spaces that support the community and long-term commercial vitality.

KITCHENER, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RouteThis, a leader in WiFi customer experience (CX) solutions, is proud to announce that Co-Founder and CEO Jason Moore was named the winner of the Fiber Broadband Association’s 2025 Fiber Under Forty Award. The honor was announced during the FBA Awards Luncheon at Fiber Connect 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Fiber Under Forty award celebrates rising stars who are making significant contributions to the fiber broadband industry early in their careers. Jason Moore was recognized for his visionary leadership and groundbreaking work in reshaping how service providers deliver high-performance WiFi experiences.

“The individuals and organizations recognized this year are driving real progress in our industry,” said Gary Bolton, President and CEO of Fiber Broadband Association. “Their leadership, innovation and commitment to delivering high-performance fiber broadband are not only connecting communities, but also shaping the future of economic opportunity and technological advancement.”

With a background in electrical engineering and over a decade of broadband experience, Moore has led RouteThis in creating a CPE-agnostic platform that helps ISPs improve their quality of install, reduce truck rolls, increase ARPU, and scale support operations efficiently. Most recently, under Moore’s guidance, RouteThis launched a groundbreaking WiFi self-install solution designed to enable ISPs to deliver smarter, more intuitive self-installs – while still ensuring that subscribers get the best WiFi experience from Day One.

Moore is also pioneering the use of AI, WiFi diagnostics, OCR, and AR to make WiFi customer experience more personalized, visual and adaptive – whether it’s an install, repair or support interaction, ultimately helping providers differentiate in a competitive market. His work has been especially impactful as providers expand into more rural and underserved areas, where scaling efficient support and seamless installation while reducing OpEx is critical.

LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), in partnership with SmartCentres (TSX: SRU.UN), is proud to announce the opening of its 14^th facility in Canada and its 12^th in the Greater Toronto Area, located at 1480 Jane Street in Toronto.

This six-story, climate-controlled facility spans approximately 105,000 net rentable square feet and includes more than 1,200 climate-controlled storage units.

The new facility is well positioned to serve a densely populated and growing urban area. Within a three-mile radius, demand for convenient, secure storage is rising – driven in part by development plans that call for 2,000 new residential units within five miles of the site.

SmartStop’s newest location will serve the surrounding communities of Maple Leaf, Rockcliffe–Smythe, Richview, Brookhaven–Amesbury, Beechborough–Greenbrook, Glen Park, York and Humber Heights–Westmount.

“Toronto continues to be a key market for us, and this new Jane Street facility strengthens our presence in one of its fastest-growing areas,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SST VI. “We’re committed to meeting the needs of the surrounding communities with secure, high-quality storage, and this location is a great example of how we’re delivering on that promise.”

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (“RioCan” or the “Trust”) (TSX: REI.UN) announced today that a receivership process has been established to protect the interests of RioCan and the other stakeholders in the RioCan-HBC Joint Venture (the “JV”). The receivership proceeding will create a structured process within which RioCan can work with a receiver and other stakeholders to advance and execute solutions for the JV’s properties to benefit the JV and its stakeholders. This includes activities such as dispositions, re-leasing and advancing potential redevelopment opportunities of individual properties. RioCan’s exposure to Hudson’s Bay Company (“HBC”), whether as a limited partner, secured lender or guarantor of certain JV obligations remains unchanged as a result of the receivership proceeding. For further information on the JV, please refer to RioCan’s press release dated March 18, 2025, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust Provides Update on Hudson’s Bay Company’s CCAA Filing.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has granted RioCan’s application to appoint FTI Consulting Canada Inc. (“FTI” or the “Receiver”) as the receiver over all of the assets and properties of the JV. The JV’s receivership proceeding will be a single proceeding that focuses solely on the JV’s assets, and advanced in parallel with the HBC Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) proceeding.

FTI, as the Receiver, will immediately take steps and actions with respect to the JV and its assets in order to preserve and maximize value for the benefit of RioCan and other JV stakeholders. FTI has extensive experience in restructurings and court-appointed receivership proceedings. FTI will oversee the affairs of the JV specifically, managing the process independently of the HBC CCAA proceeding. Pursuant to the court order appointing the Receiver, the JV’s leasehold and 100% owned properties will benefit from a stay of proceedings to allow the Receiver and its stakeholders sufficient time to take such steps as are necessary to effectively deal with the JV’s assets. The co-owned properties of the JV will continue to be managed by RioCan in the normal course.
