Chicago – October 13, 2026 -- JLL Income Property Trust declared an October 2026 distribution of $0.0525 per share and unit, equal to an annualized $0.63 and a distribution rate of about 5.6% on a NAV per share of $11.27.

Payout is due October 27 to holders of record on October 22

The Board of Directors approved the distribution as of October 29, 2026. The daily NAV REIT will pay it on or around October 29, 2026 to stockholders and unitholders of record as of October 29, 2026.

All holders receive $0.0525 per share less applicable share class specific fees, so the effective distribution rate differs by share and unit class.

October rate matches the September payment of $0.0525

The September 2026 distribution was also $0.0525 per share and unit, paid to holders of record on October 29, 2026. The trust therefore kept its monthly payout unchanged from September to October.

Orlando – October 10, 2026 -- Civil engineers on Slovakia's 14.9-km D1 Hubová–Ivachnová motorway section specified the Penetron System of crystalline concrete waterproofing for exposed bridge curbs, targeting damage from water, freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salts, according to Penetron Group.

D1 section adds a northern bypass of Ružomberok across mountainous terrain

The section forms part of Slovakia's principal east–west motorway corridor. It creates a northern bypass of Ružomberok, a center of the country's paper industry and a tourist destination, diverting transit traffic from the urban area.

The project comprises 19 bridge structures, three interchanges and the roughly 3.6-km twin-tube Čebrať Tunnel. The route crosses complex geology and faces severe seasonal exposure, which raises the requirements for concrete durability, waterproofing and corrosion protection.
