One Group announces billion-dollar entry into UAE real estate market
One Group, a global real estate firm, has officially entered the UAE with a development pipeline exceeding $1 billion scheduled to roll out over the next 12 months. The company is set to begin its UAE journey with the launch of ELEVATE, a new brand dedicated to lifestyle-centric real estate development. The brand's inaugural project — a branded beachfront development — is expected to be announced soon, in collaboration with a leading global hospitality operator. Commenting on the launch, Zeeshaan Shah, Chairman of One Group, said: 'I'm thrilled to officially begin our development journey in the UAE. I started my career in this extraordinary country 18 years ago, and witnessing its incredible transformation has been deeply inspiring. Today, the UAE stands as a global benchmark for lifestyle, ambition, and opportunity — a true reflection of the vision and dedication of its great leadership.' With a 15-year track record and a presence across three continents, One Group has facilitated more than $2.5 billion in global real estate transactions, with a portfolio of over 3,000 units completed and under development. The launch of ELEVATE marks the Group's most ambitious regional expansion to date, with a development pipeline exceeding $1 billion scheduled to roll out over the next 12 months. Shah added: 'In every market we enter, we forge our own path — not by following trends, but by introducing a distinct, lifestyle-led approach to design and development. At its core, great real estate isn't just about space — it's about creating a way of life. Our focus is on crafting environments that elevate everyday living by integrating community, connection, wellness, and meaningful experiences.' Every ELEVATE destination will be strategically located to both inspire and energize. The brand is already in advanced discussions with globally renowned hospitality and lifestyle names to co-create branded residences — an increasingly sought-after segment that merges luxury living with elevated service and investment value. Designed to outperform traditional luxury assets, ELEVATE residences will offer hotel-grade amenities with the privacy and exclusivity of home. This unique positioning appeals to both end-users and sophisticated investors seeking long-term appreciation and high-yield potential in the region's booming real estate market.

ABM Stock Surges 7%: Transformation, Strategic Moves Drive Gains
ABM ABM climbed 7% over the past month, outperforming the Zacks S&P 500 composite's 6% rally.

CPRS REVEALS AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE WINNERS SHOWCASING THE BEST IN CANADIAN PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
BANFF, AB, May 28, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) is proud to announce sixty-three winners of the 2025 CPRS National Awards of Excellence, celebrating the exceptional work of public relations and communications professionals across the country. "On behalf of the Board of Directors of CPRS, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the recipients of this year's Awards of Excellence," said Claire Ryan, MCM, APR, National President of CPRS. "Each year, we are inspired by the calibre of submissions from across Canada and across sectors, which demonstrates the vital role strategic communications plays in our society. Our winners exemplify professionalism, creativity, and purpose," added Ms. Ryan. "We hope these awards serve not only as recognition of their achievements, but as lasting reminders of the impact that thoughtful, ethical communications can have." Presented during a gala ceremony at the ELEVATE 2025 CPRS National Conference, this year's awards recognize outstanding achievements in strategic communications, innovation, and leadership. "Not all submissions receive an award here at CPRS National Awards of Excellence, so the competition is intense," said Lisa Covens, MA, CAIP, board liaison to the CPRS National Major Awards and the Awards of Excellence Committee. "Presenting so many awards in person at the Awards Gala is a highlight of the conference for me." From bold campaigns which sparked national conversations to behind-the-scenes efforts building lasting trust, this year's winners are setting the pace for the future of public relations and communications in Canada. "Those who submit entries, and those who evaluate them, are helping define the very standards that shape excellence in public relations," said Julien Baudry, APR, MBA, Presiding Officer of the CPRS National Awards Committee. "Our profession has long been focused on managing the reputations of others, and too often we've neglected our own. Yet there is so much talent here, so many storytellers," added Baudry. "Building Trust in a Shifting World" was this year's conference theme, and attendees explored the evolving role of communicators in a time of complexity and change. From AI to activism, misinformation to media relations, ELEVATE 2025 brought together the profession's leading voices to tackle today's toughest communication challenges. The 2025 conference and awards gala were made possible with the generous support of our sponsors and partners: ChangeMakers, Notified, Leger, Cision, McMaster University's Masters of Communications Management Program, Royal Roads University, The Canadian Press and Aspen Films.
