The Soloviev Group to Offer Shareholder Opportunity to New York City Residents for the Innovative Freedom Plaza Project

Published

on

NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Soloviev Group, in partnership with Mohegan, today announced an exciting forward-looking initiative that will offer eligible local residents a unique opportunity to become stakeholders in the proposed gaming facility at Freedom Plaza, a transformative civic and cultural destination that includes two world-class hotels, destination spa, a diverse mix of food and beverage venues, and meeting and entertainment facilities. As part of the competitive bidding process set to begin in June 2025 for one of up to three Downstate gaming licenses, this dynamic, mixed-use hub in Midtown Manhattan, aims to deliver a thriving center for affordable housing, job creation, open space, and community reinvestment along First Avenue between East 38th and East 41st streets.

Sharing both its financial returns and positive future impact, up to 12% of any initial public equity raised for the proposed gaming facility will be designated for residents of New York City. Soloviev and Mohegan also intend to provide investment allocations to eligible New York state and city employee-related pension funds on a preferential basis relative to other institutional investors, ensuring broad community participation and benefit. If Soloviev and Mohegan are awarded a gaming license, the capital raise would begin no earlier than 2027.

“Soloviev, in partnership with Mohegan, is committed to fostering prosperous long-term relationships with residents, community organizations, and businesses both locally and throughout New York,” said Michael Hershman, Chief Executive Officer of the Soloviev Group. “Our visionary Freedom Plaza project exemplifies these goals, and we would be thrilled to offer a financial interest to these stakeholders.”

Empowering the local community through direct financial participation is a vital aspect of the Soloviev and Mohegan vision. If awarded a gaming license, Soloviev and Mohegan plan to develop a culturally robust experience with a substantial affordable housing complex, an inviting nearly five-acre waterfront park, world-class hospitality and dining, and integrated entertainment. The Freedom Plaza project will add thousands of union jobs, support local businesses, provide attractive residential opportunities, strengthen the community, and boost tourism. It  will also play a key role in advancing  the New York City workforce, driving meaningful economic development along the East River, and helping to transform the area for the betterment of all New Yorkers.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Defending 700+ global brands across 30+ industries & 20+ regions

Scalable, User‑driven and AI‑powered Enforcement
Transforms IP defense from Reactive Takedowns to Sustained Proactive Prevention.

LONDON, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent today released its 2025 Weixin Brand Protection Report, marking a decade of progress in intellectual property (IP) protection on Weixin. The report shows how Weixin’s Brand Protection Platform (BPP), through close collaboration with brands, community participation, and AI-driven detection, has helped shift enforcement from reactive takedowns to sustained proactive prevention.

A Decade of Global Partnership, Trust, and Progress

For ten years, Weixin has supported brand integrity and advanced IP protection by embedding enforcement directly within its platform to rapidly detect and stop infringement, particularly in fast-growing areas like short-form video and livestream commerce.

“Weixin has built a truly collaborative IP‑protection ecosystem that unites authorities, brands, and users to deliver the next generation of enforcement,” said Danny Marti, Head of Global Public Policy at Tencent. “By leveraging AI, real‑time user reports, advanced analytics, and close partnership with brands and regulators, we’re creating a trusted environment that lets global brands confidently engage with consumers.”

Weixin’s approach connects online detection with offline enforcement, translating digital intelligence into real-world action against counterfeiters. In 2025, the BPP helped authorities pursue 37 cases involving more than 300 suspects and totaling over $430 million in value.

Since 2021 the BPP has grown by more than 50 %. Today it hosts more than 700 brands across 30+ industries and 20+ countries and regions. In the past year, the BPP welcomed 62 new members including several from newly added categories, most notably publishing, which saw the addition of 14 publishers since October 2025.

Additionally, the Weixin IP Protection Alliance was launched in 2025 to co‑develop tools, share intelligence, and deepen brand partnerships. This ecosystem approach, combining technology, users, and brand collaboration, positions Weixin as a model for protecting IP while enabling growth in global and digital markets.

“At PUMA, protecting intellectual property is an important component of maintaining brand integrity and supporting sustainable growth,” said Wei Zhang, Senior Counsel, Brand Protection at PUMA. “Tools such as the BPP contribute to enforcement efforts across digital channels and, in practice, support broader brand protection strategies spanning both online and offline environments.”

User Mobilization at Scale

A key driver of this system is the role users continue to play in helping identify suspected infringement. More than 95% of takedown notices and reports against suspicious personal accounts came from users. Over 99% of reports on suspicious group-chat activity were submitted by users, and more than 96% of infringing accounts were discovered by users.

AI Powers Proactive Prevention

In December 2025, Weixin introduced “Mini-WA,” an AI-powered assistant that delivers real-time support and actionable insights to help brands navigate the platform and improve IP governance. As digital ecosystems grow more complex, Mini-WA empowers brands with intuitive, consistent and proactive guidance, enhancing usability and early detection of potential risks.

With the rise of digital commerce and short‑form content, the BPP demonstrates a proven model for integrated IP protection and significant progress to empower brands, safeguard consumers, and foster trust online and offline.
