The World Cup is coming to North America. But for U.S. hotels, the booking boom may be kicking off elsewhere.

Early occupancy data shows host cities in Canada and Mexico outpacing most of their U.S. counterparts, as affordability, travel costs and political headwinds shape where fans are choosing to stay.

For the hospitality industry, the monthlong tournament is still a major opportunity — but perhaps not the slam-dunk some American hotel markets expected.

Even Dallas City Hall might not survive the city’s commercial mass exodus.

On Wednesday, city officials will vote on the future of the aging building. The question – relocate or modernize?

Modernizing and operating 1500 Marilla Street is estimated to cost between $1.49 billion to $1.6 billion; but relocating Dallas City Hall could tee the area up for revitalization – and potentially bring back commercial heavyweights to the Downtown area.

A hedge funder is looking to make a splash this summer with a listing that could set a record for the priciest single parcel sale in the Hamptons by nearly $40 million.

PointState Capital founder Zach Schreiber listed his Sagaponack estate for $152.5 million, a price that pencils out to $16,000 per square foot.

The two-story home includes more than 360 feet of beach frontage, a tennis court, a heated pool, a Pilates room, and more. And even though the Hamptons have been on a hot streak, Schreiber has set an ultra-high bar.

A high-profile real estate CEO's manslaughter trial opened with an unexpected scene: George Pino broke down in tears before a packed courtroom, bringing the first day of testimony to an abrupt halt.

At the center of the case is a 2022 boating crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez and left another teenager seriously injured. Prosecutors say the evidence will show reckless negligence. The defense says otherwise.

Nearly a week after California’s primary, the votes are still being counted. But one theme is coming into focus: voters have mixed feelings about real estate favorites.

In the Los Angeles mayoral race, incumbent Karen Bass – boasting support from industry bigwigs like luxury home developer Ardie Tavangarian and Central City Association PAC – holds the lead. And, as of Sunday, industry darling Spencer Pratt has slid into third place. In the race for governor, real estate-backed San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has flopped.

Hard Rock executive James F. Allen and his wife, Shelly Allen, iced out potential neighbors with a $35.8 million purchase of the mansion next door to their home.

The Allens scooped up the 38,000-square-foot waterfront property at 1300 Brickell Drive in Fort Lauderdale in an off-market sale.

The buy reflects Fort Lauderdale’s rebounding luxury market, which has seen numerous pricey deals this year – or the Allens’ desire to avoid nosy neighbors.

A summer camp empire raised $195 million from Israeli investors. Six months later, it was in bankruptcy court.

After disclosing a $34 million transfer to entities controlled by its owners, Simad missed a bond payment, saw its debt downgraded to junk and triggered concerns it double pledged its camp properties.

Now creditors, regulators and camp operators are all asking the same question:
Who owns summer camp?

Texas homebuilding may be cooling, but one broker is still operating at the top of the market.

HomesUSA.com's Ben Caballero, the Guinness World Records titleholder for most annual home sales through MLS by an individual sell-side real estate agent, topped The Real Deal’s latest ranking of North Texas broker teams, closing $2.43 billion across 4,923 transactions.

On the brokerage side, Compass led the pack with more than $6.2 billion in volume, as luxury players and off-market dealmakers continued to shape Dallas-Fort Worth’s market.

In the battle between Miami-Dade County and Fisher Island’s billionaires, the luxury condos might never have been the real play.

TRD’s latest deep dive into the controversy hints at the real stakes: as developers accuse the county of “incompetence” over handling the 10-acre fuel depot that keeps PortMiami running, Miami-Dade is pursuing eminent domain.

The federal government didn’t see any red flags with this year’s $1.6 billion Compass-Anywhere merger. Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James is challenging Donald Trump’s administration with an antitrust investigation of her own.

What will the investigation mean for the megabrokerage? It’s too early to tell, but the consequences could reach beyond New York.
