TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ram Realty Advisors (“Ram”), a real estate investment management firm specializing in multifamily, grocery-anchored retail, and mixed-use in select high-growth markets throughout the Southeast, today announced the acquisition of Beacon 430, a 327-unit apartment community located in Downtown St. Petersburg, Florida (Tampa MSA). The property was acquired by an affiliate of Ram Realty Partners VII.

The acquisition reflects Ram’s strategy of investing in well-located multifamily assets within infill urban markets where development constraints limit new supply. Developed in 2014, Beacon is a four-story, elevator-served residential community situated on a 4.3-acre site spanning two city blocks in the heart of Downtown St. Pete. The property provides a low-rise residential alternative with extensive outdoor amenities in a submarket where limited site availability and rising land costs increasingly favor high-rise development.

Downtown St. Pete has emerged as one of Florida’s most vibrant urban submarkets, supported by strong population growth, a diversified employment base, and a highly walkable waterfront environment. The property is within walking distance of several of the area’s largest employers, including Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, and the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus, as well as the Central Avenue retail and entertainment district and the city’s waterfront cultural attractions.

Ram plans to implement a targeted value-add program focused on operational enhancements, common area and amenity improvements, and select unit interior upgrades designed to further position the property within the market.

“Beacon stood out to us because of its scale, location, and ability to offer a different residential experience than much of the new product in Downtown St. Pete,” said Nate Wilson, Vice President of Multifamily Investments at Ram. “We believe targeted operational improvements and selective upgrades will further strengthen the property’s position within the market.”

“The Tampa Bay area has been a primary market for Ram for more than two decades,” said Casey Cummings, Chief Executive Officer of Ram. “We have been investing in this market since 2000 and continue to see strong long-term fundamentals in Downtown St. Pete. Beacon represents another opportunity to expand our footprint in a market we know well.”

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Granite Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: GRT.UN) (“Granite”) announced today the recent acquisition of five income-producing properties in the United States comprising approximately 1.2 million square feet at a combined purchase price of approximately $256.1 million (US$185.7 million). The properties were acquired at an in-going weighted average yield of approximately 4.7% and are expected to stabilize at an approximate 6.0% yield within two years. In addition, Granite has acquired an income-producing property on a 15-acre parcel of land in the United Kingdom for the planned future development of a 0.3 million square foot state-of-the-art e-commerce and logistics warehouse.

On December 19, 2025, Granite completed the disposition of three income-producing properties in the United States, comprising 1.7 million square feet, for total proceeds of $189.5 million (US$137.5 million). The properties were identified as part of Granite’s strategic disposition program and were sold at a weighted average in-going yield of 6.1%. As at September 30, 2025, the sold assets were classified as assets held for sale.

Granite also announced today that during the fourth quarter of 2025, Granite entered into new leases for approximately 769,000 square feet of previously vacant space.

Kevan Gorrie, Granite’s President and CEO, commented that, “The transactions announced today reflect a successful execution and rebalancing of the portfolio, including our reentry into the United Kingdom, which we expect in the near term, to generate accretive income and net asset value growth for our unitholders. In addition, recent leasing momentum and an in-place occupancy rate of 98% further underscores the strength and quality of Granite’s portfolio and our ability to provide the best-in-class locations and functionality that cater to tenants’ current requirements.”

On December 17, 2025, Granite acquired a modern distribution facility, comprising 0.2 million square feet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for $88.5 million (US$64.1 million). The property was constructed in 2018 and is fully leased to an e-commerce 3PL with 1.0 year of term remaining.

CLEVELAND, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Euclid Chemical, a leading manufacturer of specialty chemical products for the concrete and masonry construction industry, will have a strong presence at two of North America’s premier concrete industry events in early 2026: World of Concrete (WOC) in Las Vegas and the Canadian Concrete Expo (CCE) in Toronto.

Through exhibit participation, educational programming and industry sponsorships at these events, Euclid Chemical will continue its long-standing commitment to advancing concrete performance, durability and innovation across the construction lifecycle.

World of Concrete 2026

Euclid Chemical will exhibit at World of Concrete, taking place January 19–22, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

As part of its involvement at WOC, Euclid Chemical is sponsoring the Quality in Concrete Slabs Luncheon & Forum, held on Wednesday, January 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Hosted in collaboration with WOC360 and the American Society of Concrete Contractors, this popular forum brings together industry leaders to discuss best practices for delivering high-quality concrete slabs, with a focus on performance, constructability and long-term durability.

In addition, Euclid Chemical will also be supporting several high-profile decorative and educational experiences on the show floor, including:

MAPLE RIDGE, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#construction–After more than 20 years of building nearly 1,000 homes in Maple Ridge, BC, Epic Homes knows that strong communities depend on skilled people as much as they depend on housing.

That belief is central to Epic Homes’ purpose of Making Things Better – and it’s why the company is launching the Epic Homes Youth Trades Scholarship in 2026 – awarding $1,000 to 3 local high school students attending Maple Ridge Secondary, Samuel Robertson Technical or Garibaldi Secondary.

As one of the community’s largest general contractors, Epic Homes employs over 100 local skilled tradespeople every day across its construction sites. The company also sees firsthand a growing shortage of workers across the construction trades – at the same time that career opportunities in the trades continue to expand.

“The skilled trades are going to be one of the most important and rewarding professions moving forward,” said Epic Homes President Cole Lambert. “For students who are technically inclined and want to use their hands to build real things, the opportunities are endless.”

The scholarship is intended to support students pursuing trade-related education or apprenticeships connected to residential construction, including:

• Carpentry and Framing
• Electrical
• Plumbing and Gas Fitting
• HVAC and Refrigeration
• Roofing and Building Envelope
• Drywall and Finishing
• Concrete and Foundations
• Construction Management and Residential Building Technology
• Trade foundations programs and registered apprenticeships

By supporting local students at the start of their careers, Epic Homes hopes to raise awareness of a viable, fulfilling career path that helps power the future of Maple Ridge.

“The homes we build tomorrow will rely on the students learning these skills today,” Epic Homes President Cole Lambert added. “This scholarship is one way we can help make things better – for individuals, for families, and for the community as a whole.”

Who is Eligible for the Epic Homes Youth Trades Scholarship?

If you’re a student attending Maple Ridge Secondary, Samuel Robertson Technical or Garibaldi Secondary, and are enrolled in a Grade 12 Trades Program with the intention to continue with your Trade in post-secondary education, you are eligible. Contact your school administrator for details on how to apply.
