Construction, Real Estate & Infrastructure

Amsterdam – October 16, 2026 -- A Ferrovial-led consortium, Top End Mobility Group, has been selected to deliver the I-285 East Express Lanes project in Greater Atlanta, Georgia, with an expected construction value of $8.9 billion.

The public-private partnership is led by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the State Road and Tollway Authority.

GDOT hands Phase 1 to a consortium including Tikehau Star Infra

GDOT selected the consortium, which includes Tikehau Star Infra, to finance, design, build, operate and maintain Phase 1 under a long-term agreement. Phase 1 covers approximately 21 miles of new express lanes. It also includes key connections among I-285, I-85 and SR 400.

Los Angeles – October 16, 2026 -- Model/Z, a Los Angeles volumetric modular manufacturer, has closed a $32 million New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transaction to finance production of modular units for affordable and workforce housing developments.

Financing targets the gap on modules still inside the factory

Traditional construction financing was built around structures erected directly on real estate. Many lenders are therefore reluctant or unable to advance funds for modules that are still in a factory. That forces developers or manufacturers to carry millions of dollars in production costs themselves, which delays projects and erodes the efficiencies of modular construction.

The NMTC deal gives Model/Z a working capital line to start manufacturing modules ahead of a project's on-site construction schedule. Factory output can then run in parallel with foundation and utility work, and the company can keep production steadier.

Hyderabad – October 15, 2026 -- The global crane market will grow from USD 35.82 billion in 2026 to USD 43.78 billion by 2031, a gain of USD 7.96 billion at a 4.10% CAGR, according to a new Mordor Intelligence report.

Public infrastructure and renewables drive lifting demand

Government-funded transport projects, industrial development and private construction are creating opportunities for equipment manufacturers and rental providers. Data centers and energy systems are also on the list of infrastructure categories requiring heavy lifting equipment. Growing use of modular construction raises demand for cranes that deliver precise lifting and placement.

Albany – October 15, 2026 -- Trenchless drilling can cost more upfront than traditional excavation, but savings often follow from reduced labor, shorter timelines and less restoration work, according to a HelloNation article featuring David Allegretta of JAT Construction in Albany, N.Y.

Open trenches disrupt roads, sidewalks and nearby infrastructure

Traditional excavation relies on open trenches to reach pipes and cables. The article says the method works but can delay active projects and add costs. It remains suitable for simpler jobs or sites with fewer surface constraints, where it can be cost-effective.
