Hyundai Construction Equipment launches the next-generation 2.5-ton electric forklift (B-X)

Hyundai Construction Equipment

Launching the next-generation 2.5-ton electric forklift with the first application of lithium iron phosphate battery Carrying out a customer-centered marketing campaign targeting the logistics industry for industrial vehicles Hyundai Construction Equipment (CEO Choi Chul-gon) is launching the B-X Series, the next-generation electric forklift. Hyundai Construction Equipment will actively target the eco-friendly logistics market with B-X, the next-generation high-performance electric forklift, on November 3 (Wednesday). The 2.5-ton electric forklift is the most widely used product in indoor workplaces and is expected to be the core product, along with the company’s first medium-sized hydrogen forklift developed in Korea, to lead the eco-friendly logistics industry. Hyundai Construction Equipment is determined to redefine standards for small electric forklift markets—where cost-effectiveness is important—by applying lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for the first time in the B-X series. As LFP batteries require shorter charging time and generate higher output power than lead-acid batteries, which have been mainly applied to conventional electric forklifts, they are suitable for the logistics industry with long operating hours and high volume of goods. For this series, Hyundai Construction Equipment has maximized drivers’ convenience. It optimized the driver's seat design and air-conditioning and heating functions from an ergonomic aspect to ensure an internal structure that can support long-term operations. Moreover, it allows battery withdrawal on the side, thereby increasing the maintenance convenience. Conventional electric forklifts needed cranes when taking out a battery, but the B-X Series allows withdrawing it on the side more easily and safely using hand pallets or forklifts. Starting with the online launch on November 3, Hyundai Construction Equipment plans to utilize online and offline marketing actively to promote the B-X series to customers. The online launch will introduce the product and hold an event where customers can directly participate. Hyundai Construction Equipment began the test-drive operation of the next-generation electric forklift B-X series in October as part of its offline launch. The company plans to implement the test-drive program for one year. Moreover, it seeks to communicate actively with customers through its official YouTube channel, Hyundai Industrial Vehicle TV, by producing a variety of contents such as the ceremony of delivering the first vehicle to the customer using new models and launching a separate SNS platform for the industrial vehicle sector by year-end. “We have launched the B-X Series with eco-friendliness, work efficiency, and user-friendly features. We will take the lead in positive changes in the logistics market with differentiated product power and marketing strategies,” an official from Hyundai Construction Equipment said.

Mattress Concierge Replaces 2,600 Mattresses at Foxwoods Resort Casino

Mattress Concierge

Mattress Concierge recently completed replacing mattresses for 1,948 hotel rooms, totaling 2,600 mattress, for Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT. As the largest resort casino in North America, Foxwoods offers guests a premier destination resort experience throughout its AAA Four-Diamond hotels. Foxwoods has also been named the Best Casino Outside of Las Vegas in the USA Today’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards. “At Foxwoods we pride ourselves on providing our guests with the ultimate destination experience, and knew how important it was that the sleep configuration was as thoughtfully considered as every other resort amenity,” said Chris O’Connell, Vice President of Hotel Operations at Foxwoods. “We were so impressed by the attention to detail in Mattress Concierge’s hand-crafted, comfortable and durable mattresses which made them the ideal partner. They offer our guests a luxurious sleep experience that enhances their stay while at Foxwoods.” Mattress Concierge started work on this project in August 2019 when the resort was making upgrades to The Grand Pequot Tower, which features an exquisitely appointed lobby and twenty-three stories of deluxe rooms and suites. Mattress Concierge also replaced mattresses in The Great Cedar Hotel, which is right in the middle of all the action, and The Villas, which are appointed with beautiful amenities, dedicated butler service, in-room dining, and seamless access to Foxwoods’ exciting offerings. The 1,700 mattresses were handcrafted, delivered, and installed in just two months from purchase order to delivery. COVID-19 delayed the completion of the project until this September, when Mattress Concierge was able to replace 900 additional mattresses for the 30-floor Fox Tower, which boasts modern design and beautifully appointed rooms. This second stage of the project took just six weeks from purchase order to delivery. “We are honored with the trust Foxwoods Resort Casino places in Mattress Concierge to furnish their guests with the ultimate sleep experience at any hotel on the property,” Rob Richards, Managing Director of Mattress Concierge said. “We are particularly pleased with the fact that we could meet the timeframes in which this multi-stage project required for completion. Following the executive purchasing team’s visit to the factory in Hartford, we earned the right to be the exclusive mattress supplier to the largest resort casino in North America.” About Mattress Concierge Mattress Concierge has been providing mattresses to the most discerning clients in the hospitality industry since 2010.

Monarch Apartment Homes Reaches Milestone and Breaks Ground in Palm Springs

Community Housing Opportunities Corporation

The first affordable housing complex in Palm Springs in more than 12 years is moving forward. The Monarch Apartment Homes, a 60-unit affordable housing community located in Palm Springs, CA, officially broke ground on October 28. Under development by the Community Housing Opportunities Corporation (CHOC ), an organization dedicated to expanding affordable housing, the complex serves as an excellent example of how the affordable housing challenge can be solved in cities throughout the state. The CHOC Monarch Apartment Homes is expected to be completed in 2023. “It has been stated that housing is a human right,” said Manuela Silva, CEO of CHOC. “Affordable housing allows residents to live in cities that they would not otherwise have been able to afford. As a result, residents have better school choices.” Dignitaries present at the groundbreaking included California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Palm Springs Mayor Christy Holstege, City Councilmembers Lisa Middleton and Dennis L. Woods, Lift to Rise CEO Heather Vaikona, 4 th District Riverside County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez and CHOC CEO Manuela Silva. Heather Vaikona was the event’s master of ceremonies. “Governor Gavin Newsom has allocated $500 million of state low-income housing tax credits over the last three fiscal years. That is significant in making projects like this,” said California State Treasurer Fiona Ma. “It also has made our bonds competitive because the state tax credits need to be combined with the bonds.” In partnership with the city under a Disposition Development Agreement (DDA), CHOC will develop the land with rental apartments consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The project is financed by California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA), the City of Palm Springs, the County of Riverside, Flagstar Bank, the California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC), California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTAC), and California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC). “The full city council has unanimously supported this project and our partnership with CHOC includes donating this beautiful and valuable piece of land we are standing on today to the developer appraised at $840,000 contributing an additional $1.8 million of city funds to get this project done,” said Palm Springs Mayor Christy Holstege. “We covered $250,000 in permit fees so the total contribution of nearly $3 million to cover the gap to support CHOC to get this done.” “Like many of our cities, the area is heavily reliant on hardworking, low-income workers that are the backbone of many industries here, yet they often have to choose between paying for housing versus other necessities such as childcare, food, and healthcare,” adds Silva. “This is the first new affordable housing property in 12 years and there is more to come. I am proud of Riverside County, the City of Palm Springs, the mayor and our council members,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. The $31 million complex includes sloping rooftops that mimic the monarch butterfly, and natural desert plants to blend in with the surrounding communities. The development sits on a 3.62-acre vacant parcel of land owned by the City of Palm Springs Successor Redevelopment Agency. The property is located at the Southeast corner of N. Indian Canyon and San Rafael Drive in the Upper Westside One Palm Springs Neighborhood. In partnership with the city under a Disposition Development Agreement (DDA), CHOC will develop the land with rental apartments consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. All units will have balconies or patios with a community building for a computer classroom, a rental office, and a community lounge that can be used for group functions. Amenities include a dog park, a Monarch Park splash pad – which is a water feature with a deck area that is integrated into the main open space adjacent to a children’s play area as well as two BBQ areas. Designed under the direction of Maria Song, AIA, LEED & AP, principal with the Palm Springs-based architectural firm Interactive Design Corporation, (IDC) and HKIT Architects, the complex will blend in with the surrounding neighborhood, which is known for its mid-Century modern design influence. The property will be constructed by davisREED Construction, Inc., whose breadth of national experience ranges from five-star resorts to public works and other hotels including the Kimpton Rowan in Palm Springs, which was named among the Condé Nast Best New Hotels List. ### About The Community Housing Opportunities Corporation (CHOC): Founded in 1984, the Community Housing Opportunities Corporation (CHOC) is a non-profit, affordable housing developer based in Fairfield, California with offices in Palm Springs, creates and manages equitable communities for individuals, families, seniors, and those with special needs. CHOC believes that economically integrated affordable housing is key to self-sufficiency and is achievable with enriching, supportive programs that give pride to residents, stabilize families, and improve local economies.

THRIVE HOME BUILDERS A TWELVE-TIME WINNER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY GRAND AWARD IN HOUSING INNOVATION

Thrive Homebuilders

Denver-based Thrive Home Builders is now a 12-time Grand Award winner in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Housing Innovation Awards. The award recognizes U.S. builders deemed experts in the field of high-performance, energy-efficient homebuilding and whose homes meet the rigorous technical requirements specified by the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready program. Thrive received the Grand Award in the Single-Family Home category for its Zero Energy Revive model, a 3,393-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home located within the master-planned community of Central Park, formerly known as Stapleton, in Denver. The Revive plan is part of Thrive’s Vitality Collection of homes priced starting at just over $1 million. “It’s never been more important to build healthy, energy-efficient homes that are priced for families,” said Thrive Home Builders CEO Gene Myers. “Despite the difficulties of the past year, our team truly believes that we need to make our communities and world a better place.” Both Thrive and its pioneering founder Gene Meyers have been recognized since the DOE founded the Housing Innovation Awards in 2013. As one of the largest builders of Zero Energy Ready homes in the country, Thrive is known for its industry-leading, LEED-certified, Zero Energy Ready homes throughout metro Denver. Vitality is a collection of 39 Zero Energy homes that incorporate cutting-edge, zero energy building techniques with uncompromised functional and authentic design resulting in zero-carbon, all-electric, LEED Platinum-certified, Indoor airPLUS-qualified, solar-powered single-family homes. “Thrive Home Builders and its fellow winners are leading a major housing industry transformation that improves the way Americans live by substantially reducing or eliminating utility bills, ensuring engineered comfort way beyond traditional homes, protecting health with a comprehensive package of indoor air quality measures, and helping owners maximize the largest investment of their lifetime,” said Sam Rashkin, former Chief Architect at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office. Built in collaboration with Pro Builder Magazine and EEBA, the Energy & Environmental Building Alliance, the Revive Model Home is referred to as “The Ultimate Z.E.N. (Zero Energy Now) Home.” Pro Builder Magazine followed and reported on the construction of this home and ultimately featured the home on the cover of its October 2020 issue. The home was the featured attraction during EEBA’s 2021 High-Performance Summit in Denver. Only a select group of the top builders in the country meet the extraordinary levels of excellence and quality specified by the U.S. Department of Energy, but as the market for residential zero energy (ZE) buildings continues to grow across the United States, Thrive is leading the way. About Thrive Home Builders Thrive Home Builders has been a leader in the design and construction of energy-efficient homes since 1992.
