New intelligence platform tracks politics outsized influence on New York real estate

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Real Deal, the biggest news organization covering real estate in the U.S., today announced the official launch of TRD Policy Pro, a newsroom-powered intelligence platform and searchable database designed to help real estate professionals understand, track and respond to the government decisions that shape the market.

Following a successful soft launch earlier this year, TRD Policy Pro is now available to the broader real estate industry with expanded coverage, enhanced research capabilities and new subscription options for individuals, teams and enterprise organizations.

The official launch comes at a pivotal moment for New York real estate. The new mayoral administration’s policies will affect rent regulation, development, zoning, taxation and land use. These government decisions can determine whether projects move forward and if investments succeed. Understanding policy has become critical.

“For decades, New York real estate has been driven by supply and demand. Today, it’s just as heavily influenced by public policy,” said Stuart Elliott, Editor-in-Chief of The Real Deal. “Every player in the industry is navigating an increasingly complex web of legislation and regulation. Staying ahead of those changes isn’t optional; It’s a competitive advantage.”

Built on more than two decades of The Real Deal’s award-winning coverage of the real estate industry, Policy Pro is designed for professionals who want to go deeper than daily news coverage. The platform combines TRD’s editorial expertise with a powerful research database.

Each day, The Real Deal’s editorial team delivers curated newsletters directly to subscribers’ inboxes, highlighting the most important developments from City Hall, Albany and regulatory agencies. These briefings explain what happened, why it matters and what real estate professionals need to know, saving users time while ensuring they are focused on the issues most likely to affect their businesses.

When users need to go deeper, Policy Pro’s searchable database allows subscribers to research bills, legislation, lawmakers and policy topics. Users can track specific bills and receive email notifications when important changes occur.

Policy Pro’s legislative tracking capabilities will initially focus on New York City and New York State, with plans to expand into additional regions where public policy plays a significant role in shaping real estate markets.

Policy Pro is built for professionals who work at the intersection of politics and real estate, including:

Building owners, operators and developersReal estate attorneys advising clients on regulatory and legislative issuesLenders and investors evaluating risk and opportunityLegal, compliance and leadership teams across all of real estate, including property management, construction and brokerageLobbyists, elected officials and their staffsConsultants and other real estate stakeholders

Subscribers receive:

Daily and weekly editorial newsletters covering the most important developments from Albany, City Hall and regulatory agenciesExclusive reporting and analysis from The Real Deal’s newsroomA searchable database of legislation, bills, regulations and government actionsReal-time tracking of policy developments and legislative changesNotifications when bill language, status or key details changeResearch tools covering lawmakers, committees, agencies and policy topicsPlain-language analysis translating complex policy into actionable business intelligenceAccess to The Real Deal’s news and data content

Beyond daily coverage and data, Policy Pro intends to build a community through exclusive events, policy briefings, executive roundtables and discussions, both online and in person.

“It’s often said that the greatest impact of any law is the law of unintended consequences,” said Elliott. “Amid debates over the pied-à-terre tax, tenants’ right to purchase buildings and potential new safety measures for conversions, Policy Pro is here to help professionals understand not only what lawmakers intend, but the real-world effect of legislation.”

New report explores the business case for legal AI, trust in complex tasks, and client expectations

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used in legal practice, attention is turning to what it delivers. Bloomberg Law’s new 2026 AI in Practice report examines that question alongside attorneys’ concerns about the technology, its reliability, and its implications for their work.

Drawing on responses from more than 1,000 attorneys to Bloomberg Law’s biannual State of Practice survey, the report explores how attorneys use AI tools and whether they trust them for complex tasks.

The survey found that 76% of attorneys are concerned about AI going rogue, while 25% fear their job will be replaced by the technology.

The report also examines the business case for AI, the importance of checking its outputs, and client expectations about its use.

“As AI becomes part of everyday legal work, attorneys need to understand where it adds value and where it requires closer scrutiny,” said Cesca Antonelli, editor-in-chief, Bloomberg Industry Group. “These findings give legal employers a basis for assessing their investment in AI and the questions they need to address with their attorneys and clients.”

Together, the findings offer a look at how attorneys are navigating the practical demands of AI adoption, from evaluating its return on investment to maintaining confidence in the work they deliver.

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany and YONGIN, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DQS has completed independent assessments of Samsung Display’s automotive cybersecurity management, resulting in ISO/SAE 21434 certification and an ENX Vehicle Cyber Security (VCS) label. The achievement provides automotive customers with independent evidence of the company’s processes for managing cybersecurity risks within the assessed scope.

The achievement was recognized at a ceremony at Samsung Display’s headquarters in Yongin, Republic of Korea. Ingo M. Rübenach, CEO of DQS Group, and Alex Chi, Global Transportation Division Head and Managing Director of DQS Korea LLC, attended alongside Yoo Kyung-Jin, Corporate Executive Vice President at Samsung Display.

“The transition to software-defined vehicles changes what automotive manufacturers expect from their suppliers. Cybersecurity has to be part of how an organization develops products, takes decisions and responds to new risks. Through these assessments, Samsung Display has demonstrated a structured approach to these responsibilities. I expect Samsung Display’s technological competitiveness, combined with its proven cybersecurity reliability, to meet the demands of global automakers and further strengthen its competitiveness in the next-generation mobility market,” says Ingo M. Rübenach.

Cybersecurity for automotive applications

Samsung Display is expanding its automotive OLED business. According to the company, it has established a cybersecurity management system for automotive products, with dedicated personnel and processes to monitor and address potential risks.

Yoo Kyung-Jin, Corporate Executive Vice President at Samsung Display, says: “In the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), cybersecurity is an important factor underpinning product competitiveness. We will solidify our leadership in the mobility display market by providing OLED products that meet the stringent security standards required by automotive manufacturers and consumers.”

Independent evidence for automotive customers

ISO/SAE 21434 defines engineering requirements for managing cybersecurity risks in the electrical and electronic systems of road vehicles. It addresses the product lifecycle, from development and production through operation, maintenance and decommissioning.

ENX VCS, an assessment scheme developed by the ENX Association, is based on ISO/SAE 21434 and evaluates suppliers’ vehicle cybersecurity management systems. Successful audit results form the basis for an ENX VCS label. Assessment results can be shared with authorized business partners through the ENX Portal, providing a common basis for evaluating suppliers’ cybersecurity management capabilities.

FirstDigital Expands Redundant Fiber Network to More Utah and Arizona Businesses

Published

on

By

DRAPER, Utah, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FirstDigital is connecting more businesses across Utah and Arizona to its fiber network, helping to build greater redundancy into their networks while supporting Wide Area Network (WAN) modernization for increasingly connected operations.

“Connectivity isn’t just an IT concern anymore,” says Alex Jackson, Chief Operating Officer at FirstDigital. “When the network goes down, phones stop ringing, payments stop processing, and employees stop working.”

A redundant fiber network is designed to reduce reliance on a single connection by providing an alternate route if that connection is disrupted. Depending on an organization’s needs and available infrastructure, FirstDigital builds this redundancy into its network with multiple routes to geographically diverse points of presence, so the failure of a single path or device doesn’t take its customers, or its customers’ customers, offline.

Organizations from auto care to banking now rely on FirstDigital to keep their systems running without interruption, with one VP of IT saying the partnership has given him the confidence to vacation beyond cell coverage without worrying if his company’s network is online.

“Our customers are treating resiliency as an operational decision, and we’re building our network to support that,” says Jackson.
