GoDocs' Platform Data Signals Growth in Multifamily Lending

Platform Data Reveals a 17 Percent Year-Over-Year Increase in Multifamily Property Lending in the First Half of 2026

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDocs, the leader in commercial loan document automation, today shared data from their platform that highlights the trends in multifamily property lending in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. The data, highlighted in the "H1 2026 Multifamily Lending Trend report" showed an increase in multifamily lending, that is consistent with the resurgence in lending other commercial lending categories.

Looking at loans originated in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, GoDocs saw a 17.2 percent increase in commercial loans for multifamily properties. In addition to an increase in the number of loans, GoDocs also saw a year-over-year increase in the size of multifamily loans. The median loan size for a multifamily commercial loan rose by 8.3 percent, with the growth skewing at the larger end of loans making the mean increase 23.3 percent.

"Multifamily remains the anchor of commercial real estate lending and for 2026 we are seeing that continue with both the volume and sizes of loans growing. That tells us that larger, more complex deals are coming back and that is exactly where manual and traditional document preparation tools let lenders down," said Adam Craig, CEO, GoDocs. "The banks and credit unions positioned to take advantage of the lending recovery will be the ones that prioritize modernizing the entire commercial lending workflow so that the complexity of loans doesn't slow them down."

In addition to the rise in number and value of loans, the "H1 2026 Multifamily Lending Trend" report from GoDocs also provides insights into the distribution of loan sizes and other stats related to multifamily lending. You can find a copy of the report here:

AI Without Friction: Mindstream Energy's 400 MW Answer to the Data Center Power, Water and Community Challenge

Jordan's Al-Risha 245-acre campus is designed around contracted energy, dedicated onsite generation, and closed-loop cooling, creating AI infrastructure to scale to 400 MW without competing with consumers for grid power, water, or land

HOUSTON and AMMAN, Jordan, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence drives an unprecedented global race for electricity and data center capacity, Mindstream Energy is developing a different model for how the next generation of AI infrastructure can be built.

The model addresses challenges confronting data center development in the United States and Europe: limited grid capacity, consumer electricity costs, water requirements, land constraints, lengthy development timelines, and community opposition.

Instead of bringing another massive computing load to a constrained power grid, bring the compute to where the energy already exists.

At Jordan's Al-Risha natural gas field, Mindstream is developing a 245-acre Sovereign AI & Digital Infrastructure Campus designed to scale to 400 MW using dedicated onsite generation, modular AI infrastructure, and resilient international fiber connectivity. Phase 1, planned for 70 MW of initial commercial capacity, is targeted for March 2027.

Al-Risha begins from a fundamentally different position.

The dedicated natural gas resource is already there and under a long-term contract with Mindstream. Power will be generated onsite. The remote desert campus does not compete with residential communities for land, while closed-loop cooling minimizes water dependency. Dedicated onsite generation allows the campus to scale without drawing hundreds of megawatts from Jordan's consumer electricity grid or impacting the availability or cost of electricity for Jordanian consumers.

"AI has created an extraordinary technology opportunity, but it has also created an enormous infrastructure challenge," said Mark Thimmig, Chairman and CEO of Mindstream Energy. "We started with a simple question: Why keep trying to bring massive amounts of power to the compute when we can bring the compute to the energy?"

Mindstream has assembled the foundation required to answer that question at commercial scale: contracted energy, 245 acres of land, dedicated onsite generation, international telecommunications connectivity, valuable government-approved investment and tax incentives, and a modular infrastructure strategy capable of scaling to 400 MW.

That combination provides economic advantages while positioning Mindstream to serve hyperscalers, neoclouds, governments and enterprises competing globally for AI-ready power and infrastructure.

But Mindstream does not intend to build 400 MW speculatively.

"We are not building 400 MW and hoping customers arrive. We are securing the ability to deliver 400 MW and deploying capacity as customers require it," Thimmig said. "That allows us to configure infrastructure around each customer's compute, density, cooling and operating requirements while deploying capital in step with demand."

Mindstream is working with Orange Jordan on resilient fiber connectivity designed to provide low-latency access throughout the region and international reach toward Europe and India, transforming a remote energy-producing location into a globally connected computing platform.

Al-Risha provides the way to transform a domestic energy resource into a higher-value digital export: AI compute.

"The new energy export can be intelligence," Thimmig said. "Jordan has the opportunity to convert energy produced within the country into sovereign digital capacity that can serve customers far beyond its borders."

Build Compute Where the Energy Exists™.

About Mindstream Energy

Mindstream Energy develops energy-backed digital infrastructure supporting Sovereign AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and advanced computing workloads. Its Al-Risha Sovereign AI & Digital Infrastructure Campus in Jordan combines energy availability, modular infrastructure, global connectivity, and advanced technology relationships to serve compute-intensive applications across Jordan, MENA, and international markets.

Xinhua Silk Road: Stadtmarathon im nordöstlichen Shenyang zieht Laufbegeisterte aus dem In- und Ausland an

BEIJING,/PRNewswire/ -- Der „Shengjing Bank Shenyang Marathon 2026" startete am Sonntagmorgen und lockte rund 22.000 Laufbegeisterte aus dem In- und Ausland zu dieser zunehmend internationalen Veranstaltung nach Shenyang, der Hauptstadt der Provinz Liaoning im Nordosten Chinas.

Am Vollmarathon nahmen 10.000 Läufer teil, am Halbmarathon 12.000; alle starteten am frühen Morgen des 6. September vom Olympischen Sportzentrum Shenyang aus.

Im Vollmarathon der Männer sicherte sich ein kenianischer Läufer den Sieg, während das Rennen der Frauen von einer äthiopischen Läuferin gewonnen wurde. Bei den Halbmarathonläufen gingen sowohl der Titel bei den Männern als auch bei den Frauen an chinesische Läufer: Zhang Xiaorui und Zhao Na.

Der Stadtmarathon von Shenyang bot nicht nur eine Plattform für den Wettkampf, sondern setzte auch 30 Läufer mit Erste-Hilfe-Zertifikat ein, um ältere Läufer, sehbehinderte Teilnehmer und Rollstuhlfahrer zu begleiten.

Durch diese herzerwärmende Begleitung hat der Stadtmarathon von Shenyang eindrucksvoll gezeigt, wie eine Sportveranstaltung den Geist der Gleichheit, des Mutes und der gegenseitigen Fürsorge hervorheben kann.

Beim diesjährigen Shenyang-Marathon zierten Slogans im Stil des nordostchinesischen Dialekts die Meilensteine entlang der Rennstrecken, wie zum Beispiel „Laotie gibt niemals auf", um die Läufer zum Durchhalten zu ermutigen.

Diese Slogans voller lokaler sprachlicher Besonderheiten spiegelten nicht nur die typischen Charaktereigenschaften der Menschen im Nordosten Chinas wie Geradlinigkeit, Optimismus, Widerstandsfähigkeit und Fleiß wider, sondern fanden auch ihren Widerhall in den energiegeladenen lokalen Anfeuerungsgruppen am Streckenrand.

Mit Tanzdarbietungen zum Thema Schwerindustrie, Yangge-Volkstänzen und anderen Darbietungen entlang der Strecke schufen die „Laotie-Jubelgruppen" – so genannte kumpelhafte Anfeuerungsgruppen – ein mitreißendes Erlebnis stadtweiten Jubels.

Unter den zahlreichen Standorten mit Jubelgruppen beeindruckte ein 100 Meter langer „Jubelkorridor" auf einer örtlichen Brücke über den Fluss Hun die Läufer mit großen Menschenmengen aus der lokalen Bevölkerung, die ebenfalls die Begeisterung Shenyangs genossen.

Da jeder Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung einen lokalen „Kulturtourismus-Pass" erhielt, konnten sie sich für Stadtrundgänge entscheiden, um ein Dutzend beliebter Sehenswürdigkeiten in Shenyang zu besuchen.

Vom 5. bis 11. September hatten die Läufer aus China und dem Ausland freien Eintritt in den Kaiserpalast von Shenyang, das Museum der ehemaligen Residenz von Zhang Xueliang und das Finanzmuseum von Shenyang – dort dürften sie die Tourismusangebote auf „Laotie-Niveau" als mehr als gastfreundlich empfinden.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HillFaith, a fellowship ministry dedicated to serving and supporting congressional staffers across the political spectrum, is drawing public attention to newly released data that details Capitol Hill aides' attitudes toward the rapidly expanding field of artificial intelligence.

A recent CNCT Capitol Pulse survey revealed highly distinct perspectives on the federal government's proper role in the emerging technology sector, specifically concerning potential government ownership stakes in private firms producing artificial intelligence products.

The topic of artificial intelligence currently dominates complex policy discussions in Washington, D.C., and fully understanding the viewpoints of the legislative staff tasked with researching and advising on these critical issues is essential. According to the comprehensive survey results recently highlighted by HillFaith, a clear and decisive consensus exists regarding direct government intervention in the AI market.

A significant majority—totaling 63 percent of the surveyed congressional staff members—indicated they either "strongly oppose" or "somewhat oppose" the concept of the United States government acquiring equity stakes in private companies dedicated to artificial intelligence product development and research.

While the federal government currently maintains various equity stakes in essential sectors such as computing, housing finance, and defense, expanding this practice into the artificial intelligence domain faces substantial resistance, most notably driven by Democratic aides.

The raw data reveals that a striking 67 percent of responding Democrats expressed they "strongly oppose" such measures, compared to 58 percent of Republican aides holding the same firm stance. When examining the demographic of those "somewhat opposed" to government equity stakes in AI, the partisan gap shifts significantly, representing 24 percent of Republican legislative staffers and only five percent of Democrats.

Demographic Nuances and Areas of Support

Beyond broad party affiliations, the survey results uncovered notable demographic trends within the opposition data. Industry strategists and legislative policy analysts should carefully observe that 68 percent of Democratic women fall directly into the "strongly oppose" category. Similarly, 68 percent of Democratic House staffers share this firm opposition to federal ownership stakes in private AI enterprises. These specific metrics effectively underscore the profound depth of resistance circulating within key segments of the legislative workforce.

The survey also carefully measured specific support levels for government ownership at some level within the artificial intelligence sector. The data shows an identical proportion of "somewhat support" among both major political parties, with Democrats and Republicans each registering at 17 percent.

Regarding respondents who "strongly support" federal equity stakes, the overall numbers remain low across the board, with Democrats comprising 11 percent and Republicans making up nine percent. Among younger aides under 30, overall support leans left; 72 percent of affirmative responses were from Democratic aides, while 28 percent were Republican.

Through neutral reporting of these survey findings, HillFaith provides an unbiased snapshot of the current legislative environment. Understanding these staff perspectives is essential for anticipating how complex artificial intelligence policies may be shaped on Capitol Hill. For further insights into congressional staff viewpoints, interested parties can explore HillFaith's resources.

About HillFaith: HillFaith is an independent, nonpartisan fellowship ministry dedicated to reaching staffers in every congressional office throughout the United States House of Representatives and the Senate. Regardless of political affiliation, HillFaith is committed to fulfilling the Great Commission by encouraging and equipping disciples of Jesus Christ on Capitol Hill. The organization strives to provide a supportive, grace-filled environment for all legislative professionals. By engaging with fellow staffers through fellowship, HillFaith aims to positively impact the lives of those shaping national policy. Visit www.hillfaith.org to learn more.

La Proue Makes Its Hollywood Debut at the 78th Emmy® Awards Official Giving Suite™

Female-Founded Luxury Fragrance House Will Be Backstage to Introduce Its New Coastal Fragrances to Television's Biggest Stars

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This September, some of television's biggest stars will be among the first to experience La Proue, the female-founded luxury fragrance house celebrating clean, coastal femininity and the power of women who chart their own course.

La Proue will make its official Hollywood debut on Television's Biggest Night, where its newly launched Eau de Parfums, Phare 143 and Voilune, will be featured backstage in the official Emmys® Giving Suite™, produced by Distinctive Assets in support of the Television Academy Foundation.

The exclusive backstage experience welcomes the evening's presenters, performers and nominees, where invited guests include Jamie Lee Curtis, Lisa Kudrow, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jean Smart, Zendaya, Quinta Brunson, Keri Russell, Claire Danes, Carey Mulligan, Dakota Fanning and host Mariska Hargitay. Giving Suite attendees will be the first to experience La Proue fragrance.

For La Proue founder Leighanne Neville, there could hardly be a more fitting place to introduce a fragrance house created around the idea of women stepping forward, taking the helm and defining success on their own terms.

"I created La Proue as a reminder to stand in your own strength — feminine, grounded and confident," says Neville. "To introduce these fragrances backstage at the Emmys, surrounded by extraordinary artists and storytellers who have forged their own paths, feels incredibly meaningful. At its heart, La Proue is about every woman knowing she is at the helm of her own story."

French for "the bow of the ship," La Proue was inspired by Neville's lifelong connection to the sea. Raised on the coast of Massachusetts as the only girl among six brothers, Neville learned to navigate and drive a boat before she could drive a car. Her father taught her that she deserved to be at the helm just as much as her brothers — a belief that would ultimately shape both her career and the La Proue brand.

Inspired by the salt-washed harbors of New England and the sunlit coast of California, La Proue's debut fragrances capture two distinct expressions of modern coastal femininity. Phare 143, French for "lighthouse," is a luminous floral inspired by the meeting of salt air and first light, while Voilune evokes the quiet magnetism of coastal dusk. Both Eau de Parfums are crafted with clean ingredients, hand-poured in California and Leaping Bunny certified.

La Proue's mission extends beyond fragrance. After more than three decades working in finance and venture-backed companies, Neville saw firsthand the barriers women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital and opportunity. She created La Proue around a larger purpose: helping women put their best selves forward while investing in the next generation of women at the helm.

Through the Women at the Helm Fund, a portion of every La Proue purchase supports initiatives that uplift, mentor and fund women entrepreneurs.

The 78th Emmy Awards, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, will air live Monday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC and stream on Peacock from the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles.

Phare 143 Eau de Parfum and Voilune Eau de Parfum retail for $115 each and are available at LaProue.com.
