CLIENT FEATURE: Universal #PropTech $UPI.ca Delivering Healthy Building Solutions and Services For Building Developers, Owners and Operators #AI #IoT $SNE $MSFT $HON

UPI: TSX-V

www.universalproptech.com

As the name implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for “property technology.”  As simple as that is, the implementation and importance of PropTech is anything but. 

Like every other industry on the planet that is incorporating technology to create greater efficiencies and experiences, the commercial real estate market is no different and is seeing the rapid adoption of;

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine learning
  • Big data
  • Internet of Things (IoT Sensors)
  • Cloud computing

To create cost savings by reducing and even eliminating existing costs, create greater efficiencies for the operation and maintenance of real estate assets, as well as, improve the design of new builds.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has served to significantly increased the demand for PropTech in the commercial real estate market as follows:

  • The need for solutions to get workers back into workplace buildings and offices. Specifically, the need to identify bacteria and viruses in indoor air quality, as well as, the ability to sanitize immediately and effectively.
  • The need to create even greater cost savings and efficiencies for real estate owners that will continue suffering losses until workers significantly return to the workplace.

WHY UNIVERSAL PROPTECH (UPI:TSXV)?

Whereas many companies are just now trying to capitalize on the opportunities presented in the current and massive future of PropTech, Universal PropTech Inc. (“UPI”) a diversified investment platform delivering healthy building solutions and services for building developers, owners and operators in Canada.  More than just lip service, UPI has been successfully delivering its PropTech solutions for years, with revenues over the last 3 years as follows:

2017 – $13.8M

2018 – $13.7M

2019 – $15.9M

Headquartered in Toronto, UPI has offices across Canada including Halifax,Montreal, and Ottawa. 

COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Used in Federal Government facilities for over 40 years
  • Provides real estate managers turnkey HVAC Building Controls design, equipment, installation and ongoing operations and maintenance services for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional and Multi-residential customers
  • Already possesses under-utilized IP in building controls to add in additional monitoring inputs and equipment controls
  • Diverse revenue streams via products, installations and ongoing
  • Key strategic partnerships afford the ability to monitor real-time utility meters, key BAS and systems data in a building.
  • Team has the capability to make sense of this data and apply advanced web tools to make recommendations to fine tune a building, saving from 5% to 15% of a facilities energy spend without capital expenditure
  • VCI offers the depth and breadth of Building Automation Systems (BAS) knowledge and products from the likes of Siemens and Honeywell to support building automation systems

RECENT NEWS

COVID-19 STRATEGY

As businesses return to the office, property managers must think about the design and safety of their buildings for occupants. Traditional cleaning methods are ineffective at preventing transmission. UV technology is able to sanitize all surfaces free from pathogens. UPI is capitalizing on this opportunity by building and acquiring UV technology as it is the best in the market to administer and integrate it into healthy buildings in Canada.

  • COVID-19 has infected more than 485,000 people in Canada with over 13,800 deaths. While the Canadian Government expects to vaccinate the majority of Canadians by the end of 2021, it is still unclear as to the length of time that vaccines will protect Canadians.
  • Technology such as Delta-X Trust can be a key tool to manage the flow of people in and out of high traffic public and private facilities, providing property managers with the protocols to improve the safety of the tenants and visitors to a site.

Toronto, Ontario–(December 22, 2020) – Universal PropTech Inc. (TSXV: UPI) (“UPI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce agreements to install Delta-X Trust units in a Vaughan retirement home, and a sports and school complex.

As previously announced in a November 23, 2020 press release, UPI entered into an agreement with the Delta-X Group to test the Delta-X Trust proprietary face and temperature recognition software technology, with clients across Canada. To this end, UPI has entered into agreements with UniversalCare Canada Inc. to install Delta-X unit within its Richview Retirement Residence facility, and with Mentana Group Inc. to install unit within their Vaughan Sports Village facility.

“The Company is pleased to be able to deploy the Delta-X Trust units at the Richview Retirement Residence, a premier Independent and Assisted Living home, and Sports Village, a multi-rink and school complex,” stated UPI CEO Chris Hazelton. “The Company and each of these facilities will scope out the unit protocols over the coming weeks to ensure the units provide additional security and protection for users of the facilities, and the Company expects installation to be completed in coming weeks. Seniors homes, schools and other institutional facilities are among the highest risk facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and we are pleased that we can be part of the solution.”

COVID-19 has infected more than 485,000 people in Canada with over 13,800 deaths. While the Canadian Government expects to vaccinate the majority of Canadians by the end of 2021, it is still unclear as to the length of time that vaccines will protect Canadians. Technology such as Delta-X Trust can be a key tool to manage the flow of people in and out of high traffic public and private facilities, providing property managers with the protocols to improve the safety of the tenants and visitors to a site. These pilots are expected to provide the Company with better visibility regarding the interaction between key stakeholders, integration within building systems, and will inform wider go-to-market strategies. Other clients of the Company have expressed an interest to have Delta-X Trust units installed, and the Company will continue to refine the strategy to scale the opportunities.

He may make it look easy but Inwentash tirelessly casts a wide net 24/7/365 (trust us, we know) in his favourite industries to find best of breed companies in either Disruptive Technologies or Junior Resources.  And when he finds them, he isn’t afraid to have IDK invest big and be patient, something most investors just aren’t willing to do when they’re fixated on just daily or even hourly moves.

That’s why IDK, is like and ETF for ground floor investments that small cap investors would either be unable to find (private) or unable to participate in (early round accredited investors) or unable to hold.

For new investors to the markets in 2021 who don’t know him but better get to know him ASAP, Sheldon Inwentash is one of the greatest investors in Canadian history.  As Founder, Chairman and CEO of IDK, Inwentash’s track record of success speaks for itself, including successful exits in the hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars in previous years.  His last investment company commanded a market cap north of $1 Billion and now he’s looking to create another success with IDK.  

Will he do it?  He’s sure off to a good start so far by quietly making investments over the past couple of years that are now starting to pay off.  In this interview Inwentash discusses:

  • His investment philosophy
  • Some of his big 2020 winners including 
    • Peak Fintech $PKK – $PKKFF 
    • Loop Insights $MTRX – $RACMF
    • HPQ Silicon $HPQ
    • Esports Entertainment Group $GMBL
    • Bluesky Digital $BTC
    • ImagineAR $IP $IPNFF – where he is re-accumulating again
  • Why he’s investing heavily in gold juniors
  • Why he’s investing heavily in crypto currencies
  • Best of all, after one hell of a ride for the financial markets in 2020, Inwentash talks about why 2021 “is the year to be all in”

Watch this great interview … because when a legendary financier speaks, every small cap investor should be listening. We know we do.

TORONTO, Dec. 14, 2020 – ThreeD Capital Inc. (“ThreeD” or the “Company”) (CSE:IDK / OTCQB:IDKFF) announces that it will begin to publicly disclose unaudited net asset value per share (“NAV”) on a monthly basis, commencing with the January 31, 2021 period. This expands on ThreeD’s established practice of releasing NAV on a quarterly basis and reflect our response to shareholder interest in receiving NAV information more frequently.

Monthly NAV will be disclosed by the Company in a press release and be available on the Company’s website approximately 15 days after month-end. NAV will be calculated based on unaudited month-end financial information.

NAV is a non-GAAP measure calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by total number of common shares outstanding, as at a specific date. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

“ThreeD believes that providing monthly NAV updates, will be beneficial to our shareholders by providing information that is useful to understanding our performance”, states Sheldon Inwentash, Chairman and CEO, “This measure will help provide a benchmark to evaluate our business relative to that of our peers”.

As the name implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for “property technology.”  As simple as that is, the implementation and importance of PropTech is anything but. 

Like every other industry on the planet that is incorporating technology to create greater efficiencies and experiences, the commercial real estate market is no different and is seeing the rapid adoption of;

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine learning
  • Big data
  • Internet of Things (IoT Sensors)
  • Cloud computing

To create cost savings by reducing and even eliminating existing costs, create greater efficiencies for the operation and maintenance of real estate assets, as well as, improve the design of new builds.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has served to significantly increased the demand for PropTech in the commercial real estate market as follows:

  • The need for solutions to get workers back into workplace buildings and offices. Specifically, the need to identify bacteria and viruses in indoor air quality, as well as, the ability to sanitize immediately and effectively.
  • The need to create even greater cost savings and efficiencies for real estate owners that will continue suffering losses until workers significantly return to the workplace.

COVID-19 STRATEGY

As businesses return to the office, property managers must think about the design and safety of their buildings for occupants. Traditional cleaning methods are ineffective at preventing transmission. UV technology is able to sanitize all surfaces free from pathogens. UPI is capitalizing on this opportunity by building and acquiring UV technology as it is the best in the market to administer and integrate it into healthy buildings in Canada.
