JINGDONG Cross-Border Welcomes South Korea’s 11Street to Launch Official Flagship Store on JD.com
JINGDONG Cross-Border (JD Cross-Border), the import e-commerce platform of JD.com, welcomed South Korean e-commerce leader 11Street, an affiliate of SK Group, as it officially launched its flagship store on JD.com. This partnership marks a major milestone for JD.com’s “10 Billion Giga-Growth Plan,” aiming to bring premium Korean goods directly to Chinese shoppers while helping Korean brands enter the Chinese market more effectively. Starting June 11, customers can easily find the store by searching “11Street Overseas Official Flagship Store” on the JD.com app. The grand opening will feature store-wide discounts, free shipping on orders over 159 RMB (approximately USD $23), and exclusive member benefits. The store will offer a wide array of premium products, ranging from popular K-Beauty brands and health supplements from top curators like Olive Young to home goods and trending lifestyle products popularized by Korean pop culture. The partnership, which began in February, leverages JD.com’s advanced supply chain and logistics network to provide a one-stop solution for Korean merchants.

Claude Now Powered by ZoomInfo's GTM.AI as the GTM Context Layer for AI Go-to-Market Workflows
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has confirmed a two-way integration with Claude , Anthropic's frontier AI assistant. Mutual customers can now bring ZoomInfo into Claude.ai through a native connector in the Claude connector directory, and they can enrich GTM Studio Audiences with their Claude.ai license by creating a Custom Data Connector. The infrastructure underneath both flows is GTM.AI , ZoomInfo's headless GTM context layer. GTM.AI exposes ZoomInfo's verified data and agentic orchestration through API and Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard Anthropic created, so any platform, agent, or workflow can plug in. The data backbone is the GTM Context Graph , which holds identity-resolved records on more than 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of buying signals, continuously refreshed and continuously queryable. Claude reads from that graph rather than from whatever a user pastes into a prompt. ZoomInfo Intelligence Now Available Inside Claude. Mutual customers connect their ZoomInfo entitlement to Claude through the native connector listed in the Claude.ai connector directory. Once connected, a user asking Claude about a company, a contact, or a target account gets verified ZoomInfo data inside the response. Firmographics, technographics, contact records, and buying signals appear in the conversation. The same connector is available inside Claude Code, so developers building GTM scripts, agents, and workflows can call ZoomInfo through MCP without leaving the development environment. There is no separate enrichment pass and no CSV import. Claude Signals Now Powered Into GTM Studio Audiences. Customers use their existing Claude.ai license to create a Custom Data Connector inside ZoomInfo's GTM Studio. The connector pulls Claude.ai signals back into GTM Studio Audiences. Marketers and RevOps build audiences that include or exclude contacts based on what their teams are doing in Claude, then push the next campaign or outbound sequence against the updated audience. An audience built from stale signal wastes campaign spend, and pulling fresh signal keeps the audience aligned with what teams are actually researching and building. The data quality argument runs underneath both directions. About 70% of B2B contact data decays every year. A frontier AI assistant answering GTM questions on stale data produces confident answers about the wrong companies and the wrong contacts at machine scale. Verified data turns those answers into intelligence a revenue team can act on. GTM.AI is the difference between an AI assistant that drives pipeline and one that produces plausible noise. Claude joins dozens of completed integrations on GTM.AI, alongside Salesforce Agentforce, HubSpot Breeze, Microsoft Copilot, Gong, LeanData, Glean, ChatGPT, and Google Workspace. The same governance applies everywhere. Access control, permissioning, data lineage, AI policy, and audit logging run consistently across every surface that consumes GTM.AI. Both directions of the Claude integration inherit that posture, and so does any future agent a customer builds. Customers maintain one governance plane across ZoomInfo, Claude, and the rest of their GTM stack. That is the structural difference from a generic data integration. The native connector reads ZoomInfo entitlement directly inside Claude.ai and Claude Code. The Custom Data Connector pushes Claude signals directly back into GTM Studio Audiences. ZoomInfo, Claude, the CRM, and any AI agent the customer builds read from the same GTM Context Graph and write back under the same governance. The Claude integration is generally available to mutual ZoomInfo and Anthropic customers. The native connector is configured inside Claude.ai and Claude Code. The Custom Data Connector is configured inside ZoomInfo GTM Studio. About ZoomInfo ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, enables sales, marketing, and customer success teams to execute their go-to-market strategy with confidence. Powered by the industry's most comprehensive B2B data, including more than 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of signals, ZoomInfo delivers the intelligence, automation, and integrations that modern revenue teams need to identify, engage, and convert their best buyers. GTM.AI is ZoomInfo's headless GTM context layer. It is the API and Model Context Protocol home for AI agents, powering integrations across Salesforce Agentforce, HubSpot Breeze, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and dozens more.

This Indian Startup Wants To Make Your Sleep Tracker Obsolete
DUSQ, an India-founded consumer sleeptech company, launched on June 9, 2026, the US Kickstarter of what it describes as the world's only closed-loop sleep regulation system, ahead of a broader US retail rollout in August 2026. Early Kickstarter backers have access to tiered pricing between $229 and $249, below an expected retail price of $499, with shipping targeted for August 2026, according to the company." Image courtesy of DUSQ Positioned as a new contender in sleep technology, DUSQ is aiming to shift the category from passive tracking to active intervention and regulation. The company argues that a decade of devices has focused on generating better sleep data and dashboards while leaving hundreds of millions of people waking up exhausted. Rather than competing directly with existing sleep trackers, DUSQ’s system is designed to operate at the biological level during sleep, in real time. The DUSQ device, which weighs 12 grams and sits behind the ear, works before and during sleep to detect when the body’s stress signals spike and responds by delivering gentle vagus and vestibular nerve stimulation to guide users back toward deeper rest before they fully wake. The company’s approach starts from the view that sleep begins hours before the head hits the pillow, when the body starts winding down for the night, and that most devices only make that problem visible rather than solving it. Unlike devices such as Somnee and Pulsetto, which deliver a fixed stimulation pattern before bed and then stop, DUSQ is designed to begin working at dusk and continue responding to the user's body through the entire night. The device builds on an FDA-cleared modality for insomnia and CDSCO certification in India. According to the company, the system is built on more than 50 million datapoints collected in a proprietary in-house sleep laboratory, with one clinical trial completed and a second currently underway. In its initial clinical trial, DUSQ reports that users experienced 31 percent more deep sleep, a 38 percent improvement in heart rate variability, and 22 percent fewer night awakenings. The company positions the device as a medtech product with clinical evaluation rather than a general wellness gadget and frames its technology as targeting the autonomic nervous system as a root cause of non-restorative sleep, addressing micro‑arousals that existing trackers and supplements do not prevent. Central to this framing is SQ, or Sleep Quotient, a proprietary metric DUSQ describes as a leading indicator of recovery capacity; whereas a traditional sleep score reflects what happened during the night, SQ is meant to measure the body’s capacity to produce sleep before the night begins. “The category has spent a decade getting better at telling people how badly they slept. We’re building the infrastructure to actually fix it, at the biological level, during sleep, in real time,” said Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, Co‑founder and CEO of DUSQ, a physician and Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honoree. He added that his own experience surviving Lupus as a teenager and cancer in his twenties shaped his conviction that poor sleep sits at the root of far more chronic illnesses than the industry acknowledges. “Sleep is the most intimate thing a human does. If we’re asking anyone to trust us with eight hours of their lives every single night, we have a responsibility to improve that experience—not just hand them another dashboard. The future of sleep technology isn’t better measurement. It’s a meaningful intervention. That’s the belief DUSQ was built on,” said Gursakhi Lugani, Chief Taste Officer at DUSQ, who previously built a consumer brand from zero to 11 countries and into a landmark acquisition. The company reports more than 2,000 first-generation commercial users in India following national visibility on Shark Tank India, as well as a US-focused Kickstarter waitlist of over 10,000 people. Early numbers from the June 9 launch suggest a $1 million-plus opening, according to the company. Seed funding of approximately $3 million has been raised, led by Fireside Ventures, one of India's largest consumer venture capital firms, with participation from Antler India, Climber Capital, and other angel investors. “Sleep is emerging as one of the most important health frontiers globally. What stood out for us about DUSQ was the team’s willingness to rethink the problem and build with scientific depth and clear differentiation from day one. With a launch‑ready product and strong IP foundation, we believe it can define the global sleep solutions category,” said Ankur Khaitan, Principal at Fireside Ventures. “I’ve helped scale many health and wellness brands, and most of them are selling people another number to track. DUSQ is the first one I’ve seen that actually intervenes instead of just reporting. Millions of people do everything right and still wake up exhausted—that’s not a niche, that’s a large underserved segment of the market. This is the rare product where the technology backs up the promise,” said Ronak Shah, Growth Advisor at DUSQ. About: DUSQ is an India-founded consumer sleeptech company building what it describes as an entirely new category in health technology: sleep regulation. Its behind-the-ear device — 12 grams, worn from dusk through the full sleep cycle — that detects autonomic disruptions in real time and responds with adaptive vagus and vestibular nerve stimulation, moving sleep technology from observation to active biological intervention. The company's foundation includes one completed clinical trial with a second underway, 50 million physiological datapoints collected in a proprietary sleep laboratory, CDSCO certification, an FDA-cleared stimulation modality, a three-Shark deal on Shark Tank India, 2,000 first-generation commercial users, a US Kickstarter waitlist of over 10,000 people, and $3 million in seed funding led by Fireside Ventures. DUSQ launched on Kickstarter on June 9, 2026, with a broader US rollout planned for August 2026.

Athean Now Powered by ZoomInfo's GTM.AI as the GTM Context Layer for AI Sales Engagement
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has confirmed a two-way integration with Athean, the AI-native sales engagement platform that calls itself the "Modern OS for Enterprise GTM." Mutual customers can now bring ZoomInfo into Athean through a native connector, and they can enrich GTM Studio Audiences with their Athean license by creating a Custom Data Connector. The connective tissue underneath both flows is GTM.AI , ZoomInfo's headless GTM context layer, which exposes the verified data graph and agentic orchestration through API and Model Context Protocol so any platform, agent, or workflow can plug in. Athean Workflows Now Powered By ZoomInfo Intelligence. Athean is built around four AI agents: Company and Account Research, Smart Prioritization, AI Operators, and Auto-Personalization. With this integration, those agents read ZoomInfo contact and account data directly. The Smart Prioritization agent gets identity-resolved account data and intent signals. The Company and Account Research agent gets the underlying firmographic and technographic context. The Auto-Personalization agent gets the live signal layer. There is no separate enrichment pass and no CSV import. In the other direction, customers use their existing Athean license to create a Custom Data Connector inside ZoomInfo's GTM Studio. The connector pulls Athean engagement data, including email opens, replies, LinkedIn activity, and call outcomes, back into GTM Studio Audiences. Marketers and RevOps build audiences that include or exclude contacts based on what happened in the outbound sequence. The next campaign and the next agent run use that signal. The data backbone underneath both directions is the GTM Context Graph, which holds identity-resolved data on 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of signals, continuously refreshed and continuously queryable. About 70% of B2B contact data decays every year. A sales engagement platform running four AI agents across email, LinkedIn, and calls multiplies that decay rate by every channel it touches. Verified data through GTM.AI is the difference between a platform that builds a pipeline and one that erodes brand trust at machine scale. Athean is one of dozens of completed integrations on GTM.AI. The same context layer powers Salesforce Agentforce, HubSpot Breeze, Microsoft Copilot, Gong, LeanData, Glean, Claude, ChatGPT, and Google Workspace. Each surface reads from the same GTM Context Graph and writes back under the same governance. One Governance Posture Across the GTM Stack. Access control, permissioning, data lineage, AI policy, and audit logging apply consistently across both directions of the integration. Customers maintain one governance posture across ZoomInfo, Athean, and any other surface that consumes GTM.AI, alongside Athean's existing SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. The architecture is what sets this apart from a generic data integration. The native connector reads ZoomInfo entitlement directly. The Custom Data Connector pushes Athean data back into GTM Studio Audiences directly. Most sales engagement integrations rely on whatever data the customer brings. With GTM.AI as the headless context layer, Athean reads from a graph that is continuously refreshed and identity-resolved at the contact and account level. The Athean integration is generally available to mutual ZoomInfo and Athean customers. The native connector is configured inside Athean, and the Custom Data Connector is configured inside ZoomInfo GTM Studio. About ZoomInfo ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, enables sales, marketing, and customer success teams to execute their go-to-market strategy with confidence. Powered by the industry's most comprehensive B2B data, including more than 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of signals, ZoomInfo delivers the intelligence, automation, and integrations that modern revenue teams need to identify, engage, and convert their best buyers.

IBM watsonx Orchestrate Now Powered by ZoomInfo's GTM.AI as the Context Layer for Agents
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has confirmed a native connector between IBM watsonx Orchestrate and GTM.AI , ZoomInfo's headless GTM context layer. Mutual customers can now ground every watsonx Orchestrate agent in ZoomInfo's verified GTM data and agentic orchestration, with no middleware in between. GTM.AI is the API and Model Context Protocol home for AI agents, exposing ZoomInfo's GTM Context Graph through the same interface that already powers Salesforce Agentforce, HubSpot Breeze, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT. IBM watsonx Orchestrate is IBM's platform for building, deploying, and governing AI agents, with an agent builder, an Agent Development Kit, and a connector framework that lets agents call third-party tools and data. Buyers use it to automate work across HR, procurement, customer service, IT, marketing, and sales. The agents are not chatbots. They are autonomous workflows grounded in enterprise systems, and the value of any agent is bounded by the data it can reach. The Connector Lives Inside the Agent Builder. An IBM customer adds GTM.AI as a tool, authenticates with their ZoomInfo credentials, and from that point any agent, pre-built or custom, can query the GTM Context Graph. Lookups, enrichment, intent signals, technographics, contact verification, and agentic orchestration are all reachable as first-class tool calls. There is no separate ETL job and no middleware to maintain. The connector calls GTM.AI's API and MCP endpoints directly, so the data an agent reads is the same data a ZoomInfo user sees in the platform: continuously refreshed, identity-resolved, and queryable in real time. The data foundation is the point. B2B contact data decays at roughly 70 percent per year, and an autonomous agent acting on stale data produces bad decisions at machine scale: wrong contacts, dead emails, mis-routed deals. Verified, continuously refreshed data through a queryable graph is the difference between an agent that builds pipeline and one that erodes trust. The native connector brings that foundation directly inside the surface where IBM customers are already building agents. One Context Layer Across the AI Stack. watsonx Orchestrate joins dozens of completed integrations on GTM.AI. Customers running it alongside Salesforce Agentforce, HubSpot Breeze, Microsoft Copilot, or a custom MCP agent get the same verified GTM context everywhere, through GTM.AI as the headless context layer. The named partner changes. The infrastructure underneath does not. Governance travels with the data. Access control, permissioning, AI policy, data lineage, and audit logging set in ZoomInfo apply consistently across every surface that consumes the data, including agents built in watsonx Orchestrate. Customers maintain a single governance posture across their entire AI agent footprint. That native, two-way model is what separates GTM.AI from a generic API integration. Most AI agent platforms expect the customer to bring their own data. With the GTM.AI connector, the data foundation is verified ZoomInfo intelligence by default: no custom code, no scraping, and no separate data plane. Building a watsonx Orchestrate agent that needs GTM data is now a connector selection, not a data integration project. About ZoomInfo ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, enables sales, marketing, and customer success teams to execute their go-to-market strategy with confidence. Powered by the industry's most comprehensive B2B data, including more than 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of signals, ZoomInfo delivers the intelligence, automation, and integrations that modern revenue teams need to identify, engage, and convert their best buyers.

Commentary on the GLS 2H 2026 Sustained high housing supply, JLD 2.0 moved to Confirmed List
Sustained high housing supply The 2H 2026 Government Land Sale (GLS) program saw the government maintain the overall residential supply at around 9,200 units, similar to 1H 2026 GLS. Confirmed List supply slightly increased to 4,745 units from 4,575 units in 1H 2026, while Reserve List supply was tweaked downwards to 4,455 from 4,610 units. The supply consists of a good spread of sites across various geographical locations, supporting the development of both conventional private residential units and long-stay Serviced Apartments (SA2), to cater to both owner-occupation and rental housing demand. 4,010 private housing units across 7 private residential and 1 white site, and 735 Executive Condominium (EC) units in one EC project, will be launched via the Confirmed List in 2H2026. The white site at Town Hall Link, which was carved out from the original Jurong Lake District (JLD) tender and introduced in the Reserve List in 1H 2026, has been brought into Confirmed List, which will once again test the appetite from developers to initiate the second CBD. The conditions appear to remain the same from 1H 2026, which has raised the residential quota to 1,200 units from the 600 units in JLD in 2H 2025. There appear to be no changes to the SA2 requirements and the SA2 sites remain in the Reserve List. The Cross Street site and Media Circle sites maintained the quota of 315 and 520 SA2 units respectively, while the hotel site in Telok Ayer also maintained its partial SA2 requirement at 135 units. This kept the SA2 provision at 970 SA2 units that could be built, all via the Reserve List, and could be triggered if there is demand. Following the recent EC policy changes, which included the extension of Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) from 5 to 10 years, the increase in quota for first-time buyers from 70% to 90%, and the Removal of Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS), the 2H 2026 GLS has only one EC site. The site is on the Confirmed List and is located at the former Shuqun Secondary School site at Jurong East Avenue 1, which can yield 735 units. This is still an increase from the 635 units across two smaller EC sites in 1H 2026 GLS at Canberra Drive and Sembawang Drive. Excluding the 735 EC units, the 2H 2026 GLS Confirmed List comprises 4,010 private homes, higher than the 3,940 private homes in the 1H 2026 Confirmed List. This implies approximately 8,000 units on an annualised basis, which is lower than the 10,815 developer sales recorded in 2025 (excluding ECs), but similar to the 5-year (2021-2025) average of 8,766 units. This should provide ample future land banking opportunities for developers, who can also trigger the Reserve List sites should they deem that demand is stronger. Source: CBRE Research, MND. Resi: Residential. CL: Confirmed List. RL: Reserve List. JLD 2.0 Townhall Link moved to Confirmed List To advance the development of Jurong Lake District (JLD) and cater to medium-term office demand, the White site at Town Hall Link will be launched for tender in July 2026 under the 2H2026 Confirmed List, following its non-trigger for sale under the Reserve List in 1H 2026. In late 2025, the former JLD master developer white site has been carved out into the Town Hall Link site. It is about half the original size and has a total potential yield of 186,000 sqm. This includes a minimum of 40,000 sqm of office space, up to 1,200 private residential units, and 44,000 sqm GFA for complementary uses such as retail, hotel and community uses. Location Plan for the White Site at Town Hall Link Source: MND We believe this shows that the Government remains committed to developing JLD as the largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre and a model sustainable district that integrates business, residential and recreational spaces, despite 2024's failed tender for the master developer site. In 2024, after a concept-price tender process with only two bids from one bidder group received, the final offer price of $640 psf ppr from the consortium of five major developers (CapitaLand Development, City Developments Ltd, Frasers Property, Mitsubishi Estate and Mitsui Fudosan Asia) was deemed too low, and the tender was not awarded. The outcome reflected generally cautious market sentiment amid high financing costs and global economic uncertainties then. Developers were also concerned about the significant scale of the project, which entails multi-year development risks and substantial capital outlay. The winning party would additionally be responsible for district-wide infrastructure, including a district cooling system and pneumatic waste conveyancing, further increasing development costs. We believe the carved-out smaller parcel should attract better interest. At roughly half the size of the previous Master Developer site, the reduced scale as well as a doubling of the number of residential units that could be pre-sold, should ease upfront capital commitment and mitigate development risks. This signals greater flexibility and responsiveness to earlier market feedback gathered from extensive engagements of industry stakeholders. The government will undertake some of the infrastructure requirements which should also provide some relief to the developer. Some government agencies are also studying plans to move their offices to JLD. Future transport enhancements, including the Jurong Region Line (2028) and Cross-Island Line (2032), will further enhance accessibility and improve the site's appeal for both businesses and residents. The tender will test the appetite of developers for a major office development outside the CBD. While there has been buoyant investment activity in the office sector in the first four months of 2026, it has been concentrated in prime CBD office assets. It remains to be seen if the confidence spills over to decentralised locations. The former Raffles Town Club site launched We note the former Raffles Town Club will be placed on the Reserve List, likely as a Residential with first storey commercial, yielding 250 dwelling units and a retail cap of 2,500 sqm. Which are the most attractive new sites on GLS 2H 2026? The 2H 2026 GLS offers a good mix of sites across all market segments, with the second or third site in the Holland Plain, Orchard Boulevard, Marina Gardens, Chuan Grove, Berlayar/Greater Southern Waterfront precinct. There are 8 residential sites on the Confirmed List, of which 7 are new, and 1 was carried over from 1H 2026's Reserve List Marina Gardens Lane.

HLRBO Closes $2.5 Million Funding Round to Expand Private Hunting Access Marketplace
HLRBO, a marketplace connecting landowners with hunters seeking private-land access, has closed a $2.5 million funding round led by Mairs & Power Venture Capital of St. Paul. The funding, which includes support from individual and angel investors, will accelerate HLRBO’s expansion as a national platform for hunting leases, landowner income, and responsible private-land access. Founded in 2015 in northern Minnesota, HLRBO has grown from a regional startup into a national platform with leases in all 50 states. The company has 14,000 paying subscribers, 225,000 total users, and 1.7 million acres of land leases on its platform. “This funding helps us keep building the marketplace for landowners and hunters,” said Heath Schubert, founder and CEO of HLRBO. “Private-land access has always been fragmented. We are building the infrastructure to make it easier to navigate.” The 2026 round follows earlier funding by Great North Ventures, Gopher Angels, and other investors. HLRBO raised $1 million in February 2024 and $600,000 in August 2024 before closing the latest $2.5 million round. “We were impressed by HLRBO’s incredibly vibrant marketplace,” said Scott Burns, General Partner at Mairs & Power Venture Capital. “It caters to hundreds-of-thousands of hunters looking to gain access to the best hunting land across America.” With its latest funding round, HLRBO will grow lease inventory, improve its web- and app-based platforms, and invest in marketing, partnerships, mapping, and AI-driven land intelligence. HLRBO is investing in new technology, including parcel-level mapping, AI-powered land scoring, and a proprietary HLRBO “cinematic” view, which uses AI to transform a 2D property map into a realistic 3D drone flyover. The company is also expanding its media and education efforts and publishing content for landowners and hunters, including a news blog, feature stories, and a printed newspaper mailed to landowners and field reps. HLRBO is attending trade shows and industry events throughout 2026, building partnerships with outdoor product and hunting media companies, and investing in social media, creators, and video initiatives to drive engagement and grow its user base. Together, these efforts position HLRBO to become the leading technology, media, and marketplace platform for private hunting access in North America. ABOUT HLRBO: HLRBO (Hunting Land Rentals By Owner) is the premier online marketplace for hunting leases, connecting private landowners with vetted hunters across the U.S. and Canada. Founded in 2015 in Brainerd MN, HLRBO serves a community of more than 225,000 users with tools for listing, discovery, secure payments, legal agreements, and integrated insurance — making it easier than ever to find the right land, or the right hunter, for any season.

BKREA Launches BKREA Air-Rights Comparable Sales Database, Expanding Firm's Proprietary Intelligence Platform for Development and Air Rights Transactions
As rezonings across New York City unlock new development potential, BKREA has launched the BKREA Air-Rights Comparable Sales Database , a proprietary platform built to help owners, developers, institutions, and landmark property holders maximize value in increasingly complex air rights transactions. The launch comes as air rights have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the city's development marketplace. Recent rezonings, including the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, have created large concentrations of transferable development rights, while City of Yes legislation expanded transfer opportunities for landmarked properties—opening new doors for buyers and sellers alike. The practice is a natural extension of decades of leadership in development site sales. Over more than 40 years, Chairman and CEO Bob Knakal has personally brokered 279 development sites totaling over 40 million buildable square feet and roughly $10 billion in market value. The firm's dedicated Air Rights Practice Group is led by Managing Director Genessy Jaramillo. "Our air rights practice has been extremely robust, and activity keeps picking up week after week," said Jaramillo. "We've already closed several transactions and are working on 17 active deals totaling nearly 700,000 buildable square feet." Valuation remains the central challenge, with pricing swinging based on whether rights serve residential, commercial, mixed-use, affordable housing, or landmark-transfer uses. The database addresses this by aggregating dozens of recent transactions—including many with terms never made public. "Many deals are privately negotiated and critical information never surfaces," said Bob Knakal. "This database gives our clients market intelligence that simply doesn't exist elsewhere." The platform joins BKREA's proprietary suite: the Knakal Map Room, tracking Manhattan development permits; the Knakal Land Index, analyzing 2,489 Manhattan transactions back to 1984; and the Developer Ranking System, scoring 1,800-plus developers. Supporting it is BKREA's Policy and Zoning SWAT Team of attorneys, consultants, architects, and analysts. "Brokerage isn't really a sales business—it's an information business," Knakal said. "The better your information, the better your outcomes." As rezonings reshape the city, BKREA intends to lead the next generation of development advisory services in New York City.
