Company has sold more than $150 million worth of homes in Ottawa, Toronto and Sudbury following $34 million seed funding round

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PropTech innovator Unreserved today announced that it has entered the residential real estate market in Windsor, Ontario. Unreserved addresses consumers’ biggest pain points when buying and selling a home by leveraging their proprietary technology that provides 100% transparency to buyers while maximizing the upside for sellers. Investors in the $34M seed round earlier this year – the largest in Canadian history – included CEO Ryan O’Connor, Chairman of the Board and former CEO of Royal Lepage Simon Dean, technology investor Jason Chapnik of Intercap, and numerous real estate professionals.

“Windsor is a key market for us as we expand our presence in Ontario and throughout Canada,” O’Connor says. “Local home buyers and sellers have been hurt by a lack of transparency in the residential real estate market because so many aspects of pricing and transactions are kept hidden from them. Our approach is about openness through technology that empowers everyone to have full information to make informed decisions. This is the future of the real estate industry, and we are proud to bring it to Windsor.”

The process starts with a seller requesting a home appraisal and a team of Unreserved listing experts working with them to confirm their target price and closing dates. As a full-service real-estate company, Unreserved offers construction, staging, marketing, and promotion to help attract qualified buyers with specialized photos and video walkthroughs of a given listing. Open houses and private showings are coordinated with verified buyers to ramp up interest. Home inspection reports and market comparables are provided publicly on the listing page, and, most importantly, everyone can watch a transparent bidding process unfold right in front of them. Unreserved is also offering an industry-first, 12-month warranty on homes sold on its platform.

Scottsdale-based Walton Global acquires the historic Smoke Tree Resort Property

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walton Global, a real estate investment and land asset management company with US$3.6 billion under management, is pleased to announce its acquisition of the Smoke Tree Resort property located west of Scottsdale Road on Lincoln Drive in the Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona.

The deal closed on June 29, 2022, with ST Holdings, a subsidiary of Scottsdale-based Walton Global Holding, LLC. Walton acquired the 5-acre property for $14 million with plans to build a new boutique hotel that will serve locals and support Arizona tourism.

Walton intends to incorporate an elegance in the new design that Paradise Valley is known for and avoid controversial elements that have challenged Smoke Tree and other hotel redevelopments in the past such as roof top bars, condominiums, for-sale units, height, density and other concerns that have hampered revitalization efforts in the past.

The distinctive and strategically positioned property was subject to bankruptcy and now has fresh opportunities and a renewed sense of optimism.

“As a Paradise Valley resident for 15 years, I have driven past the Smoke Tree Resort often wondering why it sat dormant for so many years. When Walton was introduced to the opportunity to acquire the resort and learned about its financial challenges, we acted quickly, conducted our diligence and secured the property. I’m excited about our goal to revive this historic landmark into a place that Paradise Valley residents and Phoenix as a whole can point to again as a prime destination to experience that also meets the high standards of the community’s ethic,” said Walton Global executive vice president of Business Development, Matt Keister.

The Smoke Tree Resort was originally built in 1954. The resort’s Lincoln Drive facing restaurant – The Other Place – was also a Paradise Valley landmark but attempts to reopen under new management ultimately failed and the restaurant has been shuttered for over a decade.

Walton is already surrounding itself with “best in class” professionals including Allen & Philp, an architectural firm based in Scottsdale with an exceptional hotel portfolio that includes The Sanctuary, The Boulders, Fairmont Princess, and several other award-winning hotel properties.

“I believe Walton’s vision will be consistent with Paradise Valley’s wishes and sensitivities and our capital is patient. It is extremely important to us to listen to the Town of Paradise Valley Council and the community before we finalize our designs. We are looking forward to achieving a consensus that will result in an extraordinary gathering place for the residents of Paradise Valley that will also produce economic benefits for the Town and Arizona,” said Walton Global CEO Bill Doherty.

Walton intends to reach out to Paradise Valley residents to solicit input before hotel design plans are finalized.

“Feedback we receive from surrounding residents will be integrated into the future vision of the new hotel. And to ensure that transparency and communication remains open throughout the project’s evolution, we will be creating platforms such as a website and social media sites to post routine updates. We want our Town to embrace the project and to be proud of what we feel is the gateway to Paradise Valley,” Keister said.

About Walton Global

Walton Global is a privately-owned, leading land asset management and global real estate investment company that concentrates on the research, acquisition, administration, planning, and development of land. With more than 43 years of experience, Walton has a proven track record of administering land investment projects within the fastest growing metropolitan areas in North America.

The housing market has missed the technology wave of the past few decades. But tight supply/demand and affordability concerns following the pandemic are leading to increasing PropTech solutions that drive efficiency throughout the real estate transaction.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Citi today released a new Citi Global Perspectives & Solutions (Citi GPS) report in its Home of the Future series that takes another look at the housing market. Home of the Future: PropTech – Towards a Frictionless Housing Market? covers the emergence of PropTech, or fintech for real estate, in the U.S. housing market.

Home listings went online back in the mid-2000s with the launch of Zillow and that information was opened up to the broader public versus being walled off through protected subscriptions for realtors only. However, other parts of buying a house, such as getting a mortgage or title insurance – is ripe for disruption still.

“The process of buying a house is pretty painful with the large amount of paperwork. And while some frictions in the buying process are healthy, there is a big opportunity to streamline things,” noted Roger Ashworth, Head of U.S. Non-Agency MBS Strategy. “That’s where PropTech comes in – to look for those efficiencies in the market.”

Tech advancements in housing finance operations (e.g., mortgage origination, title insurance) are opening up ways to reduce paperwork and drive efficiency. Meanwhile, blockchain technologies could introduce further innovation, such as through smart contracts and the tokenization of real estate assets.

Other important notes the report covers on the move towards a frictionless housing market are:

• Innovation is happening in terms of business models as well, with the rise of home equity investment contracts, iBuyers (a company that uses technology to make an offer on your home instantly) and institutional single-family rentals (SFRs).

• Home equity investment contracts could deliver double-digit returns for co-investors of a property, while at the same time helping consumers tap some of the record-high equity in the housing market.

• iBuyers purchase homes for resale and offer a variety of services to home sellers from offer pricing to renovating.

• Institutional single-family rentals (SFRs) make up three percent of the SFR market and are poised for growth.

The report serves as a resource for others based on how Citi sees opportunities for advancement in the housing market with the support of tech advancements and investments.

The combination creates a converged services powerhouse serving approximately 7,000 properties representing over 900,000 rooms

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–World Cinema, Inc. (“WCI”), a leader in deploying and serving property technology for over forty years, today announced it has entered an agreement to acquire Ohio-based Hospitality WiFi LLC, a global leader in delivering Internet Protocol-based wired and wireless networking experiences to the hospitality industry. The combination creates the most customer-centric, well-rounded, and qualified technology services partner for brands, owners, and managers in the institutional real estate industry.

Hospitality WiFi was formed over 21 years ago to satisfy the then-emerging need for hotels to add Wi-Fi connectivity to their guest experiences. Growing to over 2,800 properties on over 5 continents, they have been instrumental in satisfying the growing needs of guest connectivity.

The two companies share the commitment to delivering customer-centric solutions. The promise of both companies is to deliver every time, with no exceptions. The combination is a catalyst to deliver convergence of in-room entertainment, seamless wireless networking experiences, and transformative connected applications like digital signage, smart building, and common area video intelligence services. By maintaining cost leadership and high levels of customer satisfaction, this partnership can increase financial returns for clients by improving top-line occupancy and RevPAR and increasing income by adding operating efficiencies.

Tommy Fatjo, President of World Cinema, said, “A real attraction to Hospitality WiFi is the team and their attitude towards their customers. It’s the same culture that has allowed World Cinema to deliver substantial organic growth and success over the past four decades. This is the beginning of a powerful combination which will deliver benefits to our clients and create opportunities for the employees and loyal partners of each company. We are excited to build the future of property technology together.”

Jason Szuch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hospitality WiFi, said, “When I founded Hospitality WiFi in 2001, we had a vision to be the number one choice of hotel owners and brands. I’m so proud Hospitality WiFi is joining World Cinema, a company that is known for its long successful track record of delivering hospitality technology services to some of the largest properties and enterprises in the U.S. I’m looking forward to taking our customers to the next level with the combination of our two companies.”
