Top 1% company led by renowned real estate professional John McMonigle aligns with Real to provide agents more opportunities, propel growth

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$REAX #therealbrokerage–The Real Brokerage Inc. (TSX: REAX) (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing publicly traded real estate brokerage, announced today that agentinc, led by well-known Southern California real estate professional and five-time winner of RealTrends’ No.1 real estate team John McMonigle, is the latest top-producing independent brokerage to align with Real.

Formed in 2019 by McMonigle and Scott MacDonald, also one of Southern California’s most respected real estate professionals who ranked in the top 1% of agents nationally as a producer, agentinc has generated annual sales of $1 billion and earned the distinction of the No. 1 brokerage in Corona Del Mar, California in 2022.

Five parks each receive $50,000 for park restoration, beautification or enhancement needs and a new Bobcat zero-turn mower

WEST FARGO, N.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bobcat Company, a global compact equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, has extended five grants, each worth $50,000, to parks across the nation as part of its partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).

In addition to the grant offering, every park and recreation department that applied for the grant—regardless of receiving the grant or not—will receive a new Bobcat zero-turn mower to help them accomplish more for their community spaces.

The recipients of the $50,000 grants include City of Stonecrest in Stonecrest, Ga.; Davidson County Parks and Recreation in Lexington, N.C.; City of Buffalo Parks in Buffalo, N.Y.; San Antonio River Authority in San Antonio, Texas; and City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation in Auburn, Wash.

“Our commitment to positively impact communities is ingrained in all of us at Bobcat, and we are humbled to give back to these deserving communities in support of this mission,” said Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America. “By supporting sustainability efforts today, we can offer a better tomorrow to the generations to come.”

Through Bobcat and NRPA’s shared commitment to creating vibrant and sustainable community park and recreation areas, the grant dollars will support various restoration, sustainability, beautification or enhancement activities at these sites.

The grant recipients’ plans include:

• City of Stonecrest in Stonecrest, Ga.: The City of Stonecrest, located east of Atlanta, plans to develop a walking trail at Everett Park. The new trail aims to encourage community residents to engage with the outdoors and attend the park and recreation department’s programs which include forest therapy programs, bird watching walks, summer camps, fishing and camping opportunities. The local park and recreation team will utilize the grant dollars, plus Bobcat equipment for forest mulching, grading and compacting to support development of this new ADA-compliant trail.
• Davidson County Parks and Recreation in Lexington, N.C.: A pollinator garden and bog garden is being developed at a newly created park called Yadkin River Park. The project is being led by the Davidson County Parks and Recreation Department in collaboration with the master gardeners of Davidson County, Catawba College Department of Environment and Sustainability, North Carolina state agencies, Town of Spencer and Friends of Rowan County. The gardens will demonstrate the resilience of the native bog plants in North Carolina, and it will also protect the surrounding community from adverse effects like water pollution and flooding. Educational signage will be on display for the public and local educators to use these spaces to teach children as they play at the nearby playgrounds. The agencies will work together to plant, mulch, maintain and teach people how these plants help the environment.
• City of Buffalo in Buffalo, N.Y.: The City of Buffalo Parks and Buffalo Niagara River Land Trust are partnering on a 22-acre conservation easement known as Houghton Park. What was once a dumping ground of large broken concrete slabs, bricks and stones, will become an open nature conservation area in a dense urban neighborhood overlooking the Buffalo River. The project team will leverage compact equipment from Bobcat to remove the heavy construction debris, while offering a light footprint on the sensitive landscape. The conservation area will reconstruct pedestrian trails and create access points from the area neighborhoods.
• San Antonio River Authority in San Antonio, Texas: The San Antonio River Authority plans to develop new trails, create two bioswales and plant native species at its 351-acre Trueheart Ranch Park which fronts the San Antonio River. These park initiatives aim to make the park more resistant to climate outcomes. After the completion of this project, the park plans to open these areas to the public and offer various programming opportunities such as fishing clinics, tent building and nature hikes. The team will utilize Bobcat equipment for use in constructing the trails.
• City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation in Auburn, Wash.: Located south of Seattle, the City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation will create a more inclusive environment for the community by creating new ADA-accessible gravel pathways at Auburndale Park. The project will reinvigorate two existing pathways to remove the outdated asphalt and replace it with crushed gravel. To complete the project, the team will use Bobcat equipment to demo the asphalt, then to install the gravel paths to proper grade.

“We are so excited to help create more sustainable and resilient communities by extending grants to these deserving communities,” said Ayanna Williams, NRPA director of community and environmental resilience. “Park and recreation professionals are champions in addressing our most pressing environmental challenges and we are grateful to Bobcat for their support to improve, preserve and beautify these spaces.”

Each park will begin its project this summer with varying stages of completion over the next several months.

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Global Smart Lighting Market Outlook, 2028” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The market is anticipated to cross USD 45 Billion market size by 2028, increasing from USD 15.67 Billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow with 20.02% CAGR by 2023-28.

In recent years, the market for smart lighting has experienced significant growth, owing primarily to ongoing and upcoming smart city projects in developing economies, improved acceptance of standard protocols for lighting control systems, and the introduction of new features such as data analytics and API event generation.

These factors will drive market growth through the projected period’s conclusion. Furthermore, the increase in demand for IoT-enabled lighting fixtures and smart lighting solutions, as well as the increasing use of LED lights and luminaires in outdoor lighting, will boost smart lighting demand in the near future.

The concept of smart houses has become a reality as a result of modern technical breakthroughs likes as Bluetooth, IoT, and cloud computing. With smart home features being adopted in more and more common households, there is a growing need for smart LED lighting systems that can be connected to other electrical devices and controlled remotely.

Smart lighting systems driven by LED lights are also projected to provide attractive potential for LED applications in commercial and industrial settings. In today’s lighting market, the smart lighting system is one of the most modern lighting technologies and energy management systems.

Every luminaire in the smart lighting system has sensors and automatic control functions that monitor and react to occupancy, pre-selected light levels, and changes in ambient daylight levels. One of the important characteristics that include reducing energy usage and boosting controls factor in conformity with consumers’ expectations is automated sensing functionality.

As a result, smart lighting systems are extremely efficient, intelligent, and quickly reconfigurable to react to changes in the environment or the needs of users. Whatever the application, the smart lighting system may provide automated energy savings as well as exceptional flexibility to improve the user experience. Smart lights are made up of multiple networked components, including lighting fixtures that collect data about their surroundings and allow users to control or alter equipment based on their needs.

Furthermore, technological breakthroughs that enable the simple integration of functionalities such as environmental sensing and voice control in lighting systems have broadened and diversified the spectrum of smart lighting applications.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Messagepoint Inc. announced today that it has signed Newbold Advisors as a referral partner for its customer communications management (CCM) solution. Newbold Advisors provides business, technology and staffing consulting and professional services to the mortgage servicing sector and will introduce Messagepoint to clients looking to improve borrower communications operations and experiences.

“Messagepoint provides a powerful solution for addressing the key issues relating to inefficiency, slow change cycles and outdated borrower communications for mortgage servicers today,” said Newbold partner Michael Wade. “The ability to accelerate time to market, improve the quality of communications and centrally manage content for all channels from one intelligent content hub is a game changer for mortgage servicing organizations.”

Many mortgage servicers are challenged by long authoring and change cycles for critical borrower correspondence due to existing constraints with legacy platforms, as well as a heavy reliance on IT and third-party service providers to code content changes. These communications are also subject to strict regulatory requirements, which add acute time pressures and operational complexity, particularly for large mortgage servicing teams that manage loans involving multiple states and mortgage origination clients. By modernizing communications systems to move away from code-intensive solutions, both servicers and their print partners can reduce costs and accelerate processes.

With its patented variation management capabilities, Messagepoint’s cloud-native, AI-powered CCM solution makes it easy for business teams to manage borrower communication variations that incorporate regional or brand differences. In addition, by empowering business teams with no-code approaches to authoring, updating and managing content directly, mortgage servicers can significantly reduce their reliance on IT and third-party service providers. This reduces time to market for new or updated communications from weeks down to hours, enabling teams to adapt quickly to regulatory or market changes.

“Messagepoint’s unique focus on content gives mortgage servicers a more intelligent way to manage their borrower communications, resulting in rapid and significant improvements in operational efficiency, speed and the quality of communications,” said Steve Biancaniello, founder and CEO of Messagepoint.

Messagepoint’s intelligent SaaS-based content hub is used by leading financial services, insurance, healthcare and service organizations to create and manage highly personalized customer communications for print and digital channels. Messagepoint is recognized as a leader in the customer communications space by industry analysts and has been awarded three patents for its AI-powered platform. The organization recently announced the addition of generative AI capabilities to its platform, enhancing the Assisted Authoring capabilities in Messagepoint to offer suggested content rewrites to address content issues related to sentiment, reading levels and brand alignment.

The new funding will boost the global scale of CarbonCure’s carbon removal technologies across the concrete industry & expand its supply of high quality carbon credits.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CarbonCure–CarbonCure Technologies, the global leader in carbon removal technologies for the concrete industry, today announces a major investment led by Blue Earth Capital, part of a broader collaborative investment round totaling more than $80 million USD.

The new funding also includes strong and substantial support from existing shareholders, including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Taronga Ventures, Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund and 2150. New strategic investors include BH3 Growth Equity (BH3) and Samsung Ventures (Corporate VC fund backed by Samsung C&T). In addition to their financial backing, these firms are force multipliers of sustainability and innovation, with direct involvement in new product development and acting as market demand catalysts.

With 750 systems sold across more than 30 countries, this investment will support CarbonCure in achieving its growth plans and accelerating its product roadmap.

“The financial backing of this special syndicate of investors is an exciting endorsement of CarbonCure as a go-to solution for low embodied carbon concrete, a leader in carbon removal technologies and a provider of the highest quality carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market,” said CarbonCure Chair and CEO Robert Niven.

Blue Earth Capital is a mission-driven, global investment firm. It is an advocate for sustainability through its growth investments, supporting companies that have the potential to deliver measurable impact alongside attractive financial returns. Via its Climate Growth Strategy, Blue Earth Capital provides equity capital to help businesses scale, focusing on companies that offer products and services to facilitate the global energy transition as well as decarbonising key economic sectors including large scale production and consumption.

“Blue Earth Capital seeks to address pressing environmental and social challenges globally. To achieve this and as part of our Climate Growth Strategy, we look to support promising technologies and companies enabling the redesign or supplementation of major industrial processes by using lower carbon-intensive materials and/or enabling raw materials to be reused. CarbonCure’s technologies achieve both, on the one hand enabling concrete production with less carbon-intensive cement and on the other creating less solid waste and using less fresh water. Solutions like these are urgently needed to help meet global climate goals,” said Kayode Akinola, Head of Private Equity at Blue Earth Capital.

CarbonCure’s technologies have already been used to produce nearly five million truckloads of lower carbon concrete, saving about 290,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to taking 64,000 gas-powered cars off the road for a year.
