Auction-based property company seeks damages for injurious falsehoods and an injunction against further interference in fair competition

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PropTech innovator Unreserved (“Unreserved,” “Unreserved.com, Inc.” or “the company”) today announced that it has filed suit against several real estate organizations for interference, defamation, and general damages. Claiming $25 million in damages, the company alleges that the Ottawa Real Estate Board and its President, Penny Torontow, along with the Ontario Real Estate Association and the Canadian Real Estate Association, have colluded to sabotage Unreserved’s business, undermine its relationships, and attack its reputation with consumers.

“Unreserved will not stand by while entrenched real estate interests gang up to suppress innovation in the market,” said Unreserved founder and CEO, Ryan O’Connor. “We’ve auctioned over 250 homes in the Ottawa area since opening for business in July of 2021, and as we gain market share, traditional real estate is going, ‘Oh, god, we need to get rid of auctions now.’ They’ve defamed our good name in front of home buyers and potential business partners alike, so we’re taking a stand for fairness and consumer choice in real estate.”

Unreserved contends that Torontow and Ontario Real Estate Association CEO Tim Hudak have defamed the company with “injurious falsehoods” in statements published on YouTube and in the Ottawa Citizen, respectively.

The lawsuit further claims damages to Unreserved’s relationship with the brokerage firm through which the company posted properties on the regional Multiple Listing System (MLS) database. By demanding all Unreserved listings include phrases like “for sale by an unregulated auction” and “subject to terms and conditions”, the Ottawa Real Estate Board (which operates the MLS) is allegedly trying to “scare and prevent” home buyers interested in the company’s offerings. Unreserved hopes to reassert its right to do business without tampering from anti-competitive interests and to promote consumer choice in the Canadian real estate market.

About Unreserved

The Unreserved technology platform is paving the way for a transparent way to buy and sell homes allowing buyers to bid on homes in a real-time online auction environment, removing blind-bidding and bully offers from the equation. In addition, Unreserved is a full-service auction company, offering staging, marketing, and promotion to attract qualified buyers and interested sellers.

ROSEBURG, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Legacy Resources, Inc. has listed its first fire-resistant residential home with safe home features and wheelchair access. The home is located in the wine country of Southern Oregon and overlooks Becker Vineyards in Roseburg, Oregon. The Umpqua River offers world-class fishing and other sportsman’s activities, which is right around the corner (MLS #22008096).

To achieve a fire-resistance rating, the construction includes Fox Blocks ICF 6” forms with rebar 6” on center throughout the envelope of the building, as well as a dual roof system that includes a primary concrete roof that allows for interior high ceilings at 10 feet, as ceilings of 9 feet or greater are known to prevent claustrophobia in the event of prolonged seclusion. The secondary pitched roof provides another layer of insulation for temperature control. The home was engineered, via lock and key, into the side of the hill. There is a whole-house air exchange system with heat recapture and filtration. Radiant floor heating and the 2021 EPA rated wood stove provide comfortable and efficient heat within the home. There is whole-house surge and EMP protection, which is supplemented with a whole-house generator panel. The property sits on top of a hill; there are multiple nearby water sources, plenty of animal wildlife and an opportunity for a comfortable level of economic and food security.

Don’t miss this opportunity to secure the home for your family’s future. A special thanks goes to G & P Contracting for the beautiful roof and Dave Hu Construction for the gorgeous tile work!

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#valueforgenerations–Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Choice Properties” or the “Trust”) (TSX: CHP.UN) announced today that the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has validated the Trust’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, making Choice Properties one of the first entities in Canada to have net-zero targets approved by the SBTi. The Trust’s targets are consistent with the primary goal of the Paris Agreement – to limit the rise in global temperature this century to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

In line with the stringent, science-based requirements of the SBTi’s Corporate Net Zero Standard, Choice Properties has adopted targets that apply to its entire portfolio of income-producing and development properties. Choice Properties has committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050 from a 2019 base year. This includes a 50% reduction in absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions, and a 30% reduction in scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods and downstream leased assets by 2030 from a 2019 base year. The Trust has also committed to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year and to reduce absolute scope 3 emissions 90% within the same timeframe.

“Fighting climate change is fundamental to our purpose of creating enduring value for all stakeholders and we are proud to deepen our environmental commitment with these targets,” said Rael Diamond, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Diamond added, “By becoming one of the first net-zero approved entities in Canada validated by the SBTi’s rigorous process, we are leading by example in our industry and helping to prevent the effects of global warming in our communities.”

The Trust’s science-based targets build on the progress Choice Properties has made since issuing its first emissions reduction targets in 2019. In 2021, the Trust surpassed achievement of this target by reducing same-asset scope 1, 2, and limited scope 3 emissions by 24% from 2018.

Details on the Trust’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program and performance can be found in its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance Report which aligns with leading disclosure standards including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The 2021 ESG Report is available on the Trust’s website at choicereit.ca/sustainability.
