Clopton Capital Plans Development of Commercial Mortgage Calculator Android Application

Posted on by


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

Clopton Capital is planning to develop one or more Android applications that are related to commercial lending. The current issue that has prevented them from developing such a marketing tool in the past was the lack of ability to do so cost effectively. The now believe that they are near having the pseudo free resources to develop such an application for Android and possibly Iphone devices in an effort to further their name brand amongst technologically savvy prospects.

The primary barrier of entry in doing this is learning the proper way to develop Android applications using white label templates. The ability to obtain and customize a phone application that has very useful capabilities already designed into it is far easier than we thought. Distributing a few applications via our website could be an excellent way to keep clients thinking about every time they use our mortgage calculator on their phone, said Jake Clopton the founder of Clopton Capital.

This effort to produce and distribute free applications is believed by the firm to benefit them through publicity and subsequent search engine authority obtained from that publicity. They feel that many of the users of these applications will voluntarily make references to the free applications via their own websites and that this will greatly benefit the firm’s brand name over the long term. This isn’t an end all be all strategy for marketing our services, but it is a solid part of a much bigger strategy to become a well known player in the World of commercial lending, said Eric Smith, the head of marketing for Clopton Capital.

One of the First Grand Hotels Meets One of the Country’s First Cities : Waldorf=Astoria Hotels, Mariner Commercial Properties, Brook J. Lenfest and Gatehouse Capital Announce Plans for the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel and Residences Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA & BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB) October 30, 2008

Tim Mahoney, President and CEO of Mariner, and Brook Lenfest partnered in 2000 to acquire the site located at the northeast corner of 15th and Chestnut Streets. In October of 2007, Mariner joined forces with Gatehouse Capital Corporation to co-develop this $ 420 million hotel-anchored mixed-use project. The development will unite the legendary luxury and tradition of the Waldorf=Astoria brand with the historic streets of Philadelphia.

“This development emphasizes our commitment to strengthen and cultivate our portfolio of one-of-a kind properties in a variety of destinations across the globe,” said Ross Klein, Global Head of Luxury and Lifestyle Brands, HHC. “The introduction of The Waldorf=Astoria Hotel and Residences in Philadelphia underscores an aggressive growth strategy that will bring these authentic and unique guest experiences into markets where there is significant growth potential in the luxury and lifestyle sectors. The Waldorf=Astoria Hotel and Residences Philadelphia will bring to life the core values of our original Manhattan property — ‘The Greatest of Them All’ — through its distinct character and location.”

Standing at 670 feet tall, the 58-story Waldorf=Astoria Hotel and Residences Philadelphia will be the city’s sixth-tallest building as well as its tallest mixed-use hotel and residential project. The classically contemporary granite and glass tower is to be designed by Cope Linder Architects of Philadelphia. As a newly constructed property, the hotel will have a variety of opportunities to support a sustainable footprint. A small sample of the many sustainable practices designed to be utilized in the project include: vegetative roof systems; one of the first U.S. hotel installations of an active chilled beam HVAC system; and an unprecedented degree of building automation through a unique venture with Johnson Controls, Inc., the world’s leader in building automation technologies and building system integration.

“Philadelphia is a beautiful, historically significant city and truly epitomizes everything that is classic about the Waldorf=Astoria brand,” said Mahoney, President and CEO of Mariner Commercial Properties. “The fact that Hilton Hotels Corporation has selected Philadelphia as one of the first locations for its luxury Waldorf=Astoria Hotels brand only serves to underscore the point.”

To ensure that the Waldorf=Astoria project meets the developers’ high benchmark for sustainability while enhancing the luxury experience for residents and guests, the Mariner/Gatehouse development team retained Re:Vision Architects of Philadelphia, one of the leading LEED consultants in the country.

“We’re convinced that being sustainable can enhance the guest experience and, surprisingly, we’ve found no shortage of extremely high-quality and innovative building products to use in this project from some of the most prominent and respected names in the industry,” said Mahoney.

The Waldorf=Astoria Philadelphia will feature 136 residences in total with prices starting at $ 1 million. 128 semi-custom luxury residences will feature generous one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans and a selection of incomparable finishes. Eight custom Bi-Level Penthouses will showcase internal private elevators, grand staircases, large gracious floor plans and some of the highest walkout terraces in the city.

“The Philadelphia real estate market has seen a surge of new luxury housing in recent years, but The Waldorf=Astoria Philadelphia will be the first vertically integrated mixed-use building that offers residents and guests alike the same 5-star treatment and access to the hotel’s finest amenities,” said Mahoney.

Waldorf=Astoria Philadelphia residents will enjoy a private Lobby on Chestnut Street with private elevator banks, a residents-only Club Room and private on-site storage. They will also benefit from the hotel’s amenities, such as 24-hour room service, a knowledgeable staff of professional concierges, housekeeping service, babysitting service, pet care, a 14,000-square-foot spa & Precor

Mercom Capital Group Reports First Quarter 2012 Funding and M&A Activity for Solar Sector

Posted on by

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 09, 2012

Mercom Capital Group, llc, a global clean energy communications and consulting firm, today released its report on funding and mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity for the solar sector during the first quarter of 2012.

Venture Capital (VC) funding in the solar sector was off to a slow start in Q1 2012. VC funding for the quarter came to $ 329 million in 34 deals, the lowest dollar amount recorded since Q4 2010; however, VC investors were still very active in the sector with a record 34 deals funded, the highest ever recorded in the solar industry.

While VCs interest in the solar sector remains strong, their appetite for risk appears to be lower as the average VC funding round amount in Q1 was $ 10 million, compared to $ 18 million in 2011, said Raj Prabhu, Managing Partner at Mercom Capital Group.

To add to the current over capacity problems, policy changes and lower tariff announcements in some of the largest solar markets, such as Germany and Italy, will all contribute to an uncertain 2012, Prabhu continued. We can expect a more cautious approach to investing in the solar sector this year.

There was strong M&A activity in the solar sector totaling $ 5 billion in 15 transactions, however only four of these transactions disclosed details. The spike in M&A amounts was mainly due to the $ 4.7 billion acquisition of Solutia, a performance and specialty chemicals company with products in PV encapsulants, performance films for PV and CSP products and heat transfer fluids for CSP plants, by Eastman Chemicals Company. Other significant M&A transactions included the $ 275 million acquisition of Oerlikon Solar, a producer of equipment and turnkey manufacturing lines for thin film amorphous silicon and tandem junction technology, by Tokyo Electron, and Andrem Powers $ 274 million acquisition of 3W Power (a holding company of AEG Power Solutions), a provider of power controller for polysilicon production, solar inverters and monitoring and control systems for photovoltaic power plants.

The first quarter of 2012 also saw 11 new cleantech and solar-focused investment funds announced committing $ 5.7 billion. A significant positive event for the solar sector in Q1 was the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the microinverter company Enphase Energy, which raised $ 62 million as part of its offering.

The top five funding deals made up about 60 percent of the total funding in this quarter, led by $ 81 million by SolarCity, a pioneer in the solar lease model. Three of the five top companies to receive funding also included MiaSol

The Oklahoma Bankruptcy Lawyers at Atkins & Markoff Warn Public of Sharp Increase in Defaults by Capital One Credit Card Holders, Advise Troubled Consumers to Seek Help

Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

The Oklahoma bankruptcy lawyers at the law firm of Atkins & Markoff, a firm of bankruptcy attorneys who dedicate their time to representing consumers and businesses with regards to their financial difficulties, hereby warn the public of reports of a sharp increase in the number of defaults by credit card holders of accounts issued by Capital One, one of the largest credit card issuers in the world. The Oklahoma bankruptcy attorneys at the firm advise anyone facing the possibility of a default on any credit account to seek professional help so that a solution can be identified.

Capital One files its latest regulatory documentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and part of that documentation detailed the percentage of accounts that were moved into the classification of default during the month of April of 2012. The lender reported that the default accounts rose to a rate of 4.07 percent, which represents a sharp increase in these accounts when compared to March, when the default accounts constituted 3.85 percent.

When a credit account moves into default status, it means that the lender has declared that the account as uncollectable and is thereby written off of the balance sheets of that lender. Many times, these accounts deemed as uncollectable are sold to debt collectors who can then continue with their collection efforts against the borrowers who failed to maintain their payments.

The Oklahoma bankruptcy lawyers at Atkins & Markoff advise any consumer who may be facing the possibility of having a credit account charged off as uncollectable to seek professional help as soon as possible so that a solution can be mapped out before aggressive debt collectors become involved in the situation and a borrowers credit rating can be substantially harmed by this delinquency.

About Atkins & Markoff

The Oklahoma bankruptcy lawyers at Atkins & Markoff, whose law firm Web site URL can be found at http://www.OklahomaBankruptcyLawCenter.com, is a law firm comprised of Oklahoma bankruptcy attorneys who have been representing consumers since 1999 in bankruptcy-related legal matters that include Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases as well as debt consolidation and credit counseling matters. The firm represents consumers in bankruptcy cases throughout the state of Oklahoma.

Green Global Announces New Investment from METRIX Capital Group Ahead of Gilbert, AZ Project Roll-Out

Anaheim Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Green Global LLC, an innovative solar and energy management street light company announced today that it has received seed funding from METRIX Capital Group, LLC, a private equity firm based out of Orange County, CA. The company will use the capital to prepare for its roll-out of its flagship Energy Warrior System to street lights throughout the southwest. Green Global has pilots operating in six municipalities in Arizona and California.

METRIX founder and managing director, Jeff Brannon, commented on the investment, “We are excited to partner with such a promising company and talented management team that has an incredible business model in place and a clear path to profitability.”

Green Global LLC managing partner, Mike Hoffman, stated that METRIX Capital Group brings the classic smart money to this transaction. Not only are they helping to fund the company, they have been providing guidance and contacts that are already showing incredible promise. We are excited to be working with Jeff and his team.

With millions of street lights in the United States consuming megawatts of power each night and generating millions of tons of carbon, Green Globals Energy Warrior system both helps to save municipalities money, as well as help to reduce the carbon footprint of safety lighting. Beyond a typical solar solution, the Energy Warrior system is designed to use existing street light infrastructure to generate distributed power throughout the community with minimal aesthetic impact and infrastructure requirement. The light management system provides insights into the street light infrastructure that is sorely lacking in the current networks. Now, public works managers can view each street light individually on a map and know its exact condition in near real-time. Along with lumen management, in which lighting is raised or lowered according to a schedule or needs, the system can save the community both energy and maintenance efforts. To date, Green Global is the only provider of this integrated technology in the marketplace.

About Green Global

Green Global LLC is a Glendale, Arizona, based company that provides integrated solar and light management solutions for public and private lighting facilities such as street lights and parking lot lights.

Panel topics at the meeting will include risk management strategy, product diversification, leadership, and managing during difficult times.

The 7th annual WWB Microfinance and the Capital Markets Conference, titled “Maximizing Access in a Capital Constrained Environment,” will provide a collaborative environment for leaders from the financial and microfinance communities to network, discuss concrete funding deals, learn about key capital markets transactions in the industry, and take advantage of emerging opportunities by developing innovative ways of increasing access to financial products and services. Newsweek Senior Editor Daniel Gross and TIAA-CREF CEO Roger Ferguson, Jr. will be featured speakers.

Ferguson Jr., President and CEO of TIAA-CREF. “We began our own $ 100 million global microfinance investment program in 2006 and continue to explore investment opportunities with the greatest impact from both a financial and social perspective.”

The Capital Markets Conference will have a special focus on the volatility of current capital markets; global and regional insights of the current capital landscape; industry consolidation; the state of debt and equity markets; capital structure optimization; risk management; and outlooks for 2009 and beyond. The conference will also feature a competition in which MFIs team up with J.P. Morgan employees volunteering their time, to generate innovative solutions to current industry hurdles. The MFI competition will feature relevant case studies and provide the audience with the opportunity to gain knowledge from “live” lessons learned.
