CARPINTERIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software, today announced a new integration with Building Transparency, a nonprofit organization with the mission to enable broad and swift action to address the construction industry’s role in climate change. The integration enables Procore users to leverage the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) in an effort to drive sustainability across the global construction industry.

Between 2015 and 2050 worldwide, two trillion square feet of buildings are expected to be built or renovated, and the World Green Building Council estimates that construction materials account for approximately 11 percent of global carbon emissions. In order to address Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and sustainable building practices, the EC3 tool is a free database that calculates the embodied carbon emissions associated with design and material procurement, ultimately helping specialty contractors, general contractors and owners reduce embodied carbon emissions in construction. The EC3 calculator was co-conceived and developed by Skanska and C Change Labs; it was jointly seed-funded by Skanska and Microsoft.

The EC3 integration provides Procore users the opportunity to reduce construction waste and rework, accounting for nearly $500 billion annually across the globe according to the 2018 FMI Report. By giving construction professionals the tools to benchmark and assess their carbon footprint, the tool actively helps companies realize their sustainability targets and reduce carbon emissions.

“We are thrilled to provide our customers around the globe access to the Embodied Carbon in Construction (EC3) tool,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore founder and CEO. “As a dedicated partner to the construction industry, it is our responsibility to support the growing need for sustainable building. Our partnership with Building Transparency and the new EC3 integration reinforces our vision of improving the lives of everyone in construction and the communities we serve.”

“Our partnership with Procore is a great step forward in educating our industry on the importance of reducing embodied carbon emissions and the tools already available to do so,” said Stacy Smedley, Executive Director of Building Transparency. “EC3 enables the industry to measure and understand the carbon footprint of their projects and set reduction targets to begin to address our collective impact on climate change.”

Alliance Expands AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program; Expected to Advance ESG and Recycling Goals

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The AZEK Company Inc. (NYSE: AZEK) (“AZEK” or the “Company”), the industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, including TimberTech^® decking, Versatex^® and AZEK^® Trim, and StruXure™ pergolas, today announced a PVC recycling alliance with DTG Recycle, the largest recycler of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in the Pacific Northwest. The alliance expands AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling program to now include the collection of PVC-based C&D debris.

As part of the alliance, PVC scrap and debris collected by DTG Recycle will be processed by Return Polymers, AZEK’s vertically integrated recycler, and then incorporated into one of AZEK’s many sustainable outdoor living product lines made with recycled PVC material, including TimberTech AZEK^® decking and AZEK and Versatex Trim.

“We are excited about what this C&D recycling alliance with DTG Recycle represents – a new recovery channel for PVC waste and scrap that might be otherwise destined for landfills,” said AZEK CEO Jesse Singh. “AZEK’s goal is to recycle one billion pounds of waste and scrap annually by the end of 2026. To achieve this ambition, and, ultimately, to advance and sustain a circular economy, it is imperative to find new solutions and new partners whose leadership, capabilities and sustainability goals match our own. We have found that and more in DTG Recycle.”

DTG Recycle will utilize its extensive collection and processing network to help AZEK and Return Polymers expand its FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling program beyond post-industrial producers. Items such as PVC siding, windows, fencing, and pipe that enter the C&D channel are typically destined for the landfill and are amongst one of the recycling industry’s most significant challenges.

“PVC has always challenged the C&D recycling community,” says Tom Vaughn, CEO of DTG Recycle. “This is a big win for the construction industry and communities throughout the Pacific Northwest, as this alliance both creates an open-loop recycling solution for otherwise landfill bound debris and helps further protect the local and regional environments for everyone to enjoy. We are honored that AZEK and Return Polymers chose us as their partner to offer this new sustainable end market to our region.”

“While the industrial PVC recycling market is more established, the larger C&D market remains largely untouched. It will require the special skills, expertise, and unique technologies developed by Return Polymers to lead the market into these uncharted waters. This, combined with the leadership and reputation of DTG Recycle, sets us on a path to scale more rapidly and expand our C&D PVC recycling program to other regions in the United States,” said David Foell, Founder of Return Polymers, a wholly owned subsidiary of AZEK.

IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HighGround Restoration Group, INC., is pleased the to announce its new name and logo. The company was initially formed in February of 2020 with the platform acquisition of Dry Force LLC, a Texas based water restoration and reconstruction leader with locations in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. After a successful year in 2021 of adding five best-in-market brands to create a national platform, the company launched the HighGround brand in 2022. HighGround serves as the umbrella for the entire group while each individual company retains its brand equity in the market.

Ben Balsley, HighGround’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our vision is to build a company where great brands thrive and elevate to next-level performance. We will do this by serving our employees, customers, and partners and creating opportunities to leverage national scale for local execution.

HighGround brands help customers who have suffered water or fire damage by providing 24/7/365 drying and clean up services coupled with reconstruction contracting, all while engaging with the customer’s insurance company to ensure seamless claims processing.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Armstrong Fluid Technology announced a bold initiative in 2018, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions among its global customer base by 2 million tons, targeting completion by the year 2022.

The company recently announced that they had reached and surpassed that lofty goal. In the process they have also helped customers save 2.5 billion kWh of electricity usage, resulting in more than $300 million in cost savings. Achieving this goal is the equivalent of taking 600,000 cars off the road for a year, or off-setting the average annual CO2 emissions generated by 100,000 people.

“Since June 2018, when the initiative was first announced, Armstrong has worked collaboratively with our customers and partners to implement our innovative Design Envelope technology in building mechanical plants, worldwide. The application of this technology converts existing and new installations into ultra-efficient and sustainable systems,” said Todd Rief, Armstrong CEO.

“We have now boosted Design Envelope Technology with our innovative Active Performance Management architecture. This 3-layer architecture adds the power of Digital Twins, Edge and Cloud computing to intelligent Design Envelope equipment. The application of Active Performance Management brings performance resilience and transparency to system design and operations. This helps our partners and our customers extract carbon from every stage of the lifecycle of a building. They can design a much smaller plant with lower construction carbon footprint, and dramatically reduce their carbon emission from operations. All this while using predictive maintenance to preserve building performance without adding cost.

“At the same time, we recognize that the work in this area is not yet done. Buildings worldwide continue to be some of the biggest contributors of GHG. Through our core competencies of Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer, Demand Based Control and Digitalization, we aim to bring a step change to the performance of buildings through their entire lifecycle.”

To monitor the results, Armstrong launched a global validation effort in 2018 across a wide range of customer types and applications. The results were validated by Bureau Veritas, and made available as a set of case histories.

In addition to the preservation and creation of affordable units, and decarbonization plans, Dream has also unveiled new free resident programming.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dream Unlimited Corp. “Dream Unlimited” (TSX: DRM), Dream Impact Trust “Dream Impact” (TSX: MPCT.UN) and Dream Impact Fund, collectively referred to as “Dream”, today announced it successfully secured insured financing under Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (“CMHC”) new MLI Select insurance product through TD Bank. The $153 million insured loan through TD will finance Dream’s plans to preserve and increase the number of affordable units from 52 to 189 at the Residence at Weston apartment complex – representing 40 percent of all units. The affordable units will not exceed 30 per cent of Toronto’s median renter income. Dream will also decrease energy consumption by a minimum of 15 per cent and greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 25 per cent.

Through collaborative engagement, Dream supported CMHC as they designed this innovative multi-unit insurance product. Launched earlier this month, MLI Select uses a points-based system that offers increasing insurance incentives based on a borrower’s commitments to social and climate related outcomes, including affordability, accessibility, and energy efficiency.

“We’re so pleased to work with Dream and TD to bring more affordable housing to Toronto. The introduction of MLI Select is another important tool that will help transform existing supply into sustainable and affordable housing across the country,” says Romy Bowers, President and CEO of CMHC.

The project financing was achievable through collaboration with TD as the lender, leveraging their experience and expertise throughout the process. This is an example of financial institutions, the federal government, and private entities working collaboratively to address pressing societal and environmental issues. The new MLI Select product will allow building owners, including asset managers and non-profits, to transform their buildings into resilient, affordable, and accessible homes working with their approved lenders.

“We are incredibly proud to have collaborated with Dream and CHMC on this forward-thinking product that helps to address the acute affordability challenges Canadians continue to face. Today’s announcement demonstrates a creative approach for increasing the supply of affordable housing here in Toronto and we hope it will inspire future sustainable and inclusive housing developments in cities and communities across the country,” says Andrew Phillips, Deputy Chair, Head of Real Estate and Diversified Industries, Investment Banking for TD.

Residence at Weston, part of the Weston Common mixed-use complex in the Weston Mount Dennis neighbourhood, is a 30-storey rental tower built in 1974 with 472 residential rental units, the Artscape community hub, West 22, an adjacent 30-storey rental building that includes 369 newly developed units, and 42,000 sq. ft. of commercial space.

Due to the insured financing, Dream has already begun converting 137 units to affordable units and has also begun retrofitting the Residence at Weston to achieve its decarbonization targets. This work includes: implementing new boilers, mechanical and plumbing systems; enhancing balcony insulation; and, installing high-performing doors and windows. At nearly 50 years old, aging apartment buildings like the Residence at Weston have long been identified as big carbon emitters and require a new way of thinking to ensure the long-term viability for residents and the environment. The retrofit is expected to take place over the next two years with minimal disruption to building residents.

“Apartment complexes like Residence at Weston require a meaningful approach to ensure they are healthy and resilient homes for generations to come. Our work at Residence at Weston serves as an example that retrofits are a critical piece of our housing stock and can preserve much-needed affordable and accessible housing while addressing climate change,” says Michael Cooper, President and Chief Responsible Officer at Dream. “The most sustainable building is one that already exists, and it’s incumbent on us all to find new ways of working with what we have and bring them up to a high level of performance.”

New programming coming to Weston Common by the Dream Community Foundation

Dream has also unveiled new programming that is beginning this month at Weston Common, with funding from the Dream Community Foundation. The creation of these new programs were informed by feedback and input from all residents. Initial programs are set to launch on-site this month, including free community fitness classes, such as kickboxing and yoga; free weekly breakfast and coffee socials; and subsidies for Toronto’s Bike Share memberships.

Later this spring, additional programming will be rolled out, including: free art classes for seniors and youth; free skills training classes, such as tax, resume-writing and language classes; and free tutoring and homework help for younger children, among others.

The programs showcase a first-of-its-kind model whereby a building owner has electively integrated a robust range of not-for-profit programming within a mixed-income community. The programs will be delivered by a dedicated Community Ambassador on-site at Weston Common as well as non-profits partners.

“These programs have been created alongside Weston Common residents who expressed a desire for a diversity of programming and strong social connections within the Weston-Mount Dennis neighbourhood,” says Krystal Koo, Chair of the Dream Community Foundation Board. “We are excited to introduce an extensive slate of year-round programs and services that can improve socio-economic, health and cultural outcomes for all residents.”

Leveraging its cutting-edge technology, proprietary rental data, and extensive investment research, combined with boots on the ground diligence, the Konfidis solution helps individual investors easily identify, evaluate, and manage investment properties across Ontario better. With Konfidis, buy your next investment property with confidence.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#datascience—Konfidis is pleased to announce the launch of its leading technology and investment platform to unlock the compelling benefits of residential real estate investment as we help individual investors answer their three key questions: “Where should I look?”, “Which property should I buy?”, and “How can I outperform the market?”

The Konfidis platform utilizes proprietary rental data to generate anticipated investment return metrics for every MLS listing and a growing set of off-market opportunities, in real-time, and layers various other technology, data, and investment attributes to surface the top investment properties across Ontario.

Konfidis investor clients receive:

• weekly shortlists of comprehensively reviewed properties, which are accompanied by a diligence report (including data gathered from an on-site visit to the property, as well as financial analysis);

• access to sophisticated real estate investment calculators; and

• a turn-key post-acquisition solution, including property management, alleviating the headaches that come with owning an investment property.

Sign up today at Konfidis.com and start receiving our weekly top single-family rental investment opportunities.

“When we talk to investors big and small, they all have the same pain points. ‘Where are the best opportunities to invest?’ and once a property is found ‘How can I quickly evaluate if it’s a good buy?’ The answers to these questions can be solved using a combination of data science and technology, coupled with our belief that also physically inspecting properties, before presenting opportunities, is key to efficiently serve our clients,” said John Asher, President, and Co-Founder of Konfidis.

“Where you live is not necessarily where we may find the best opportunities, and most likely, limiting your search radius leads to suboptimal returns,” said Jared Kalish, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Konfidis. “We search across Ontario with the aim of selecting opportunities which we believe will outperform the market over the long run.”

Konfidis also makes a portion of its platform available for investors who seek to perform their own research. The publicly accessible version allows for visual comparisons between cities and neighbourhoods, heat maps, metrics such as historical house price appreciation and sold data, as well as anticipated income driven by Konfidis’s proprietary rental data, among other items.

In addition to being a leading real estate investment services platform, Konfidis strives to be a champion for tenants. It seeks to enhance the quality and availability of rental housing solutions for Canadian families. Konfidis enhances the professionalism of the tenant experience with technology designed to improve the efficiency of leasing, payment processing, and service call coordination.

About Konfidis

Konfidis Inc. is Canada’s leading solution for residential real estate investors. As a technology and big data-focused platform, Konfidis supports the entire investment process from opportunity identification, due diligence, and acquisition to comprehensive workflow management and broad post-acquisition management services and support.

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, BentallGreenOak (BGO) announced the opening of a new office in Austin, Texas, to be led by Mike Leifeste, the firm’s newly hired Managing Director and Head of Texas Coverage. BGO’s continued expansion in the U.S. includes a significant growth in the firm’s client base and investment management activity in the U.S. sunbelt states.

Leifeste’s responsibilities in this newly created role will include a focus on deepening BGO’s investor relations activities in the region and serving as a critical touch point on current and future acquisitions in Texas while developing new operating and developer partner relationships.

BGO, on behalf of its clients and strategies, manages over $2.3 billion in commercial real estate and land for development in Texas — over 90% of which is in modern industrial/logistics and multi-family residential. BGO expects to more than double that value over the coming years.

“Mike brings tremendous knowledge and capability to our team in a region of significant importance to our firm, and we are eager to establish our presence in the region under his strong leadership,” said John Carrafiell, co-CEO and founding member of BentallGreenOak. “We share with Mike a common culture of client-centricity and a belief in the importance of investing in local capability to bring our investor clients closer to the action.”

Leifeste joins BGO from Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company (TTSTC), where he served in various capacities for the past 24 years, including most recently as Head of Real Estate and Real Assets for the past seven years. In his previous role, Leifeste was responsible for TTSTC’s 15% allocation to real assets and private equity energy investments, including a portfolio of real estate, private equity, and private credit funds that consisted of over 85 funds and more than $2 billion in commitments.

“I am pleased to be joining BentallGreenOak at an exciting and high growth period for the firm, with a clear and ambitious mandate for developing our investor and partner relationships, and a real estate portfolio that is built to respond to the economic and social aspirations of the state of Texas, now and into the future,” said Mike Leifeste, Managing Director and Head of Texas Coverage, BentallGreenOak. “BGO’s timely presence in Austin will enable us to draw on the strength of our local relationships and knowledge base to deliver outcomes that bode well for our investor-clients, our future tenants and residents, and the broader communities in which they will reside.”

Leifeste graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Business Administration and received an MBA from Texas State University. He is a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements included in this news release constitute ‘‘forward-looking information’’ or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The words “will”, “expects”, “plans”, “estimates”, “intends” and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements made or implied in this news release include but are not limited to statements regarding the Trust’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to the purchase of Units under the NCIB.

These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Primaris cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in Primaris’ management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form, which are available on SEDAR, and in Primaris’ other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, Primaris undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise.
