QuantmRE partners with Texture Capital and Launches Its Blockchain-Based Real Estate Marketplace

Texture Capital

QuantmRE today announces its partnership with Texture Capital and the launch of its blockchain-based Home Equity Marketplace that allows investors -- including individuals, family offices and institutions -- to buy, sell and trade tokenized interests in the equity in residential homes, thereby enabling digital access to this asset class estimated to be over $25 trillion in size according to Freddie Mac. By partnering with Texture Capital, QuantmRE broadens its compliance capabilities via Texture’s broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System (ATS). This gives QuantmRE the regulatory readiness to launch its tokenized Home Equity Marketplace, reimagining real estate investing by making the equity in owner-occupied residential homes investible and tradable, powered by blockchain technology. Leveraging the Algorand blockchain protocol, QuantmRE’s Home Equity Marketplace allows homeowners to partner with investors via a ‘Home Equity Agreement’ – a financial structure, protected by a lien on title, that fractionalizes the current and future value of a residence. This innovative financial tool enables the homeowner to unlock equity liquidity and allows the investor to gain exposure to the future value of the property. For the homeowner, there is no loan and therefore no monthly payments, no interest rate charges and no added debt. QuantmRE’s Home Equity Marketplace enables investors to invest in fractionalized and tokenized Home Equity Agreements, where they can build, model, manage and trade personalized portfolios of the equity in hand-picked owner-occupied residential properties, taking advantage of the downside protection and leveraged upside returns offered by the Home Equity Agreement structure. Matthew Sullivan, QuantmRE’s Founder and CEO, said “We are delighted to be partnering with Texture and the important regulatory milestone that this brings, and we look forward to working closely with Texture to lead the way in making home equity more liquid, more accessible and easily tradable for everyone seeking a smarter way to invest in US residential real estate”. “QuantmRE is unique in the digital asset space”, said Richard Johnson, CEO of Texture Capital. “In a rising interest rate environment where home values have been appreciating, I believe QuantmRE is ideally positioned to take advantage of increasing demand from homeowners to find alternative, debt-free solutions to access their home equity, as well as enabling a wider range of investors to actively participate in the previously untapped real estate asset class of residential home equity”. About QuantmRE At a time when homeowners need to access cash more than ever, QuantmRE’s “Equity Freedom” program offers an alternative debt-free solution – the Home Equity Agreement. The agreement enables homeowners to receive a cash lump sum in exchange for a portion of the current and potential future value of their home without taking on any additional debt (no loans, no interest and no monthly payments). In addition to originating Home Equity Agreements, QuantmRE has developed an advanced blockchain-based Home Equity Marketplace where individuals, family offices and institutional investors can gain broad access to the multi-trillion-dollar residential real estate asset class by buying, selling and trading tokenized Home Equity Agreements. For more information, visit www.QuantmRE.com About Texture Capital Texture Capital, the blockchain powered marketplace for private capital, is a FINRA member and SEC registered broker dealer focused on digital securities. We help clients compliantly issue tokens representing equity, debt, revenue share, royalties or other investment contracts.

How This Leader in Real Estate Tokenization Can Help Close the Home Ownership Gap with Blockchain

Benzinga

Check out RealT’s geographical listings here, and click here to get started. Purchasing a home has often been regarded as a hallmark of individual success. According to research firm YouGov, 74% of Americans say they place the highest priority on owning a home, ranking it above having a successful career, owning an automobile and — surprisingly — retiring. Providing a perfect roadmap to discontent are the harsh realities obstructing the millennial’s path toward this goal. According to a 2019 study, nearly 70% of millennials say they cannot afford a house because of rising prices. This dream-shattering reality is explained — or perhaps, compounded — by the findings that housing prices have increased by 120% since 1965 and the generational wealth gap has significantly expanded over the last couple of years. While one could understand millennials fuming over their real estate troubles, blockchain enthusiasts would be quick to counter this response. Specifically, for those engaged in the tokenization of real estate assets, like RealT, a convenient solution to their woes may be just around the corner. Like many other industries, blockchain has sparked ideas for innovating the real estate market through the concept of tokenization. Tokenization allows many investors to own small parcels of large investment properties through the purchase of digital tokens that are tied to these properties. According to a study by Hamburg Commercial Bank ( HCOB ), 13 American companies — including Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) — have already begun doing so. RealT is among those real estate tokenization pioneers providing hope for millennial homeownership — albeit in a way they might not have expected. Tokenized Real Estate With RealT According to metrics provided to Benzinga, RealT is a leader in real estate tokenization. As of June 31, RealT tells Benzinga it has reached $49 million in sales, more than 210 tokenized properties and over 920 units in areas like Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland. Compared to other operators in tokenized assets, RealT boasts a large cohort of investors who act incredibly quickly. In fact, RealT tells Benzinga that over 9,820 investors from 135 countries have used RealT to purchase tokenized real estate. Given RealT’s extreme accessibility and the power of crowdsourcing, the average time of sale for a $1 million property listed on RealT is reportedly just six minutes! These incredible numbers reflect the excitement surrounding tokenized real estate as the future of property ownership. Throughout this sector, and within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sphere, the RealT brand has achieved worldwide notoriety, energizing and attracting an online community of 57,000 members. In less than three years, RealT has achieved the following milestones: Q3 2019: The first worldwide standardized tokenization platform Q4 2019: World’s first integration of security tokens on a decentralized exchange Q4 2020: Multichain with the launch on Gnosis Chain (then xDai) Q1 2021: Launch of the "re-investment" property Q4 2021: Launch of payments with Request Network Q1 2022: Launch of RMM, the world’s first real estate token-lending platform, through a partnership with Commutatio Holdings Ltd, a British Virgin Islands holding company established to operate RMM. RealT’s achievements with tokenized assets have reportedly made it the second-largest protocol on the Gnosis Chain, and the 133rd most important protocol in DeFi, according to the Defi Lama. Since the launch of the RealToken platform in February of last year, token owners have risen from 59 holders to 5,180, an increase of roughly 8,680%.

CITIES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY ADOPT UTAH’S MOST RESTRICTIVE ORDINANCES TO HELP PREVENT WATER SHORTAGE IN NATION’S FASTEST-GROWING REGION

Washington County Water Conservancy District

Washington County’s largest cities have banned non-functional grass for newly constructed commercial, institutional and industrial developments and are limiting grass at new homes. 1 In addition, new golf courses in St. George will not be approved unless the development can provide its own non-potable water source for irrigation. The ordinances, needed to prevent the fastest growing region in the nation from running out of water, are the most restrictive for new construction in Utah. “We can’t risk running out of water,” said Zach Renstrom, general manager of the Washington County Water Conservancy District (district). “Prolonged drought has threatened our only water source – we have to make changes to how our community uses its water to protect our economy and quality of life.” “We applaud Washington County’s water conservation accomplishments and current efforts, including setting a higher development standard in the state with these new municipal ordinances,” said Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox. “Our future depends on every community in Utah making water conservation a top priority.” The ordinances also require the use of secondary (untreated) water and reuse (treated wastewater) for outdoor irrigation where available. Washington County currently uses secondary and reuse water to irrigate parks, schools, golf courses, city-owned facilities and some residential neighborhoods. The district is developing a regional reuse system in partnership with its municipal customers that will significantly enhance the availability of reuse water for future development. Other ordinance requirements include: Hot water recirculation systems Water-sense labeled fixtures EnergyStar appliances Submetering of multi-unit facilities Restrictions on water features including misting systems Water budgets for golf courses, and Limits on water used by car wash facilities The new ordinances are projected to save nearly 11 billion gallons of water in the next 10 years. Each respective municipality will enforce its new ordinance. The cities will review received water waste complaints and monitor metering data to notify and issue penalties to non-compliant customers. To help encourage compliance, the district will begin assessing an additional fee for high water use in 2023. Money generated from this fee will fund water conservation programs, including rebates to replace grass with water-efficient landscaping. Most municipalities require a minimum landscape vegetative cover using drought-tolerant plants and trees irrigated with a drip system to maintain community aesthetics and reduce impacts from urban heat island effects. Washington County is Utah’s hottest, driest and fastest-growing region. The county’s population is projected to more than double by 2050. All major population centers are currently dependent on a single water source, the Virgin River Basin, which is reaching its full development capacity. The basin has been in drought conditions 16 of the last 20 years and water supply levels at local reservoirs are decreasing. The county’s long-term water supply plan includes additional water conservation and reuse, local source optimization and new resource development. Washington County has already reduced its per capita water use more than 30% since 2000 – the greatest reduction in water use in Utah – and is planning for an additional 14% reduction by 2030, using 2015 as the baseline year. 1 Residential restrictions vary slightly by municipality, but most are limited to 8% of the lot size with a cap for large lots. Grass in park strips, in areas less than 8 feet wide and on slopes is prohibited. About Washington County Water Conservancy District The Washington County Water Conservancy District is a not-for-profit public agency that oversees water resources in Washington County, Utah.

Aspen Grove Shopping Center applauds City of Littleton for vision with unanimous approval of redevelopment concept

Gerrity Group

Aspen Grove Shopping Center owner Gerrity is getting an enthusiastic response from existing and prospective new retail tenants after the City of Littleton Planning Commission unanimously approved the company’s concept to redevelop part of its aging property into a transit-oriented, mixed-use retail center. When complete, the first phase of Aspen Grove’s evolution, located on the southeast corner of the property adjacent to Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) Mineral Ave. Light Rail and transit station, will include a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use community with up to 480 multifamily apartments above ground-level retail stores and restaurants, structured and on-street parking, common open space, private streets and bicycle amenities. Aspen Grove’s much-anticipated redevelopment is the first such project under Littleton’s new Unified Land Use Code (ULUC), which was approved by City Council in October 2021. The new guidelines represent Envision Littleton, a municipal planning process involving four years of research, development and literally thousands of hours of community input through meetings, presentations, workshops and other public feedback. The city’s ULUC places 32.78-acre Aspen Grove within a designated mixed-use corridor, allowing multifamily communities adjacent to shopping, services, light rail, bus routes and bike paths. “We are going to rejuvenate Aspen Grove and return it to being a vibrant, first-class community retail center like it was when it was built 20 years ago,” said Gerrity President Kevin Gerrity. “The Planning Commission’s unanimous approval of our conceptual Master Development Plan propels Aspen Grove toward long-term viability at a time when Littleton faces significant competition for the best retailers and resulting sales taxes from SouthGlenn, Cherry Creek, Park Meadows and other destinations.” “We thank the city staff, city council, planning commission members and local leaders who have been so vigilant in bringing Littleton’s long-term vision to life,” said Gerrity. “There’s a lot of work to do, and we’re excited to move forward in the partnership that Aspen Grove has always had with this great community.” Gerrity has been active in the region since the 1990s and acquired Aspen Grove Shopping Center in 2016. The company will launch a new web site within the next few weeks to keep residents, consumers and tenants updated as a detailed site development plan and project timeline are completed. ABOUT ASPEN GROVE & GERRITY Aspen Grove in Littleton is Colorado’s premiere open-air retail village, is home to over 50 fine stores and restaurants, including Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Pottery Barn, Apple, Sees Candies, J.Jill, Teds Montana Grill and more. Located just north of Santa Fe and Mineral Avenues, Aspen Grove offers convenient storefront parking, mountain views and an atmosphere every bit as inviting as its stores. Gerrity owns and operates retail properties in the western United States. Fully integrated and privately held, the company invests in neighborhood and community retail properties to make them better, including creating an exciting mix of retailers and restaurants, or adding vibrant mixed-use residential or office. The company invests in major metropolitan areas in Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona and creates value through its team of skilled, experienced professionals.

The Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies Expands Partnership with Zesty.ai to Leverage Its AI-Powered Wildfire Risk Model Across 12 States

Zesty.ai

Zesty.ai, the leader in property analytics powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and The Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies (BHHC) today announced that they have expanded their partnership. BHHC is extending the use of Zesty.ai’s AI-powered wildfire risk model, Z-FIRE™, to 12 states. Z-FIRE™ will be used to inform both underwriting and rating decisions, and the partnership expansion comes at a critical time for the insurance industry. A recent report from Aon found there were three separate wildfires in 2021 alone that generated economic losses beyond $1 billion, which outlines the growing importance of property-specific risk models for maintaining coverage in wildfire-prone states. “Unfortunately, wildfires are impacting communities well beyond the western U.S., and managing that risk requires advanced models that help us truly understand wildfire risk at the individual-property level. Zesty.ai’s model has outperformed our homegrown wildfire risk model,” said Brian Hall, Vice President - Products and Underwriting at Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies. “We started working with Zesty.ai last year and saw an immediate opportunity to leverage granular wildfire insights that allow us to confidently write policies that commensurate with a property’s true risk.” Z-FIRE™ not only provides regional and property-specific risk scores but also an explanation of the specific risk factors affecting the property. Using artificial intelligence that has been trained on more than 1,500 wildfire events across more than 20 years of historical loss data, it considers property-level features that influence risk. Topography, historical climate data and critical factors extracted from high-resolution imagery such as building materials and surrounding vegetation in multiple defensible spaces are taken into account. This empowers insurers with a true property-level risk score that effectively splits risk, while providing the flexibility to recognize mitigation efforts by homeowners and their respective communities. “The Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies have always been known for taking a progressive, innovative approach to risk management, and as wildfires continue to reach new geographies we commend them for being proactive with their approach to rating and underwriting around wildfire risk,” said Attila Toth, Founder & CEO of Zesty.ai. “The broad adoption of Z-FIRE™, which is now used in rating and underwriting across the entire Western US, is a critical piece of hardening the insurance industry and their customers to defend against climate risks.” For more information on Zesty.ai and its climate risk solutions please visit www.zesty.ai. About Zesty.ai Zesty.ai offers insurers and real estate companies access to precise intelligence about every property in North America. The company uses AI, including computer vision, to build a digital twin for every building in North America, encompassing 200B property insights accounting for all details that could impact a property’s value and associated risks, including the potential impact of natural disasters.
