Park + Associates' QR3D Is Singapore's First 3D-Printed House
In a quiet residential enclave ofSingapore,Park + Associateshas unveiled QR3D — the country's first multi-storey 3D-printed house. Designed as a family home for the firm's founder, Lim Koon Park, the four-storey residence represents a landmark moment in Southeast Asia's architectural landscape.
Developed in collaboration with CES_InnovFab, QR3D serves as a living prototype for how 3D-printing can be scaled beyond utilitarian components to full-fledged residential structures. More than 90% of the house is built using a custom concrete mix, precisely printed both onsite and offsite. This showcases the technology's practical viability and transformative potential within a notoriously high-stakes industry.
True to Park + Associates' ethos of sculptural restraint and contextual sensitivity, QR3D balances bold innovation with emotional depth. The home's raw concrete striations are left exposed, celebrating the texture of its construction method. At the heart of the house is a dramatic oculus—a circular void positioned above the dining area. This feature functions both as an efficient passive cooling system and as a poignant tribute to the neoclassical residence that once stood on the very same plot.
Beyond its visual narrative, QR3D reshapes conventional construction methods. 3D-printing streamlines labor, reduces waste and minimizes environmental disruption, turning complex architectural forms into efficient, singular processes. Rather than prioritizing novelty, Park emphasized foundational values: 'We set out to create a family home that could remain relevant and respected in decades to come.' In a region facing rapid urbanization and ecological strain, QR3D offers a poetic yet practical vision for future design — one where architecture is crafted with both technological intelligence and emotional soul.

Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. ('Park' or the 'Company') (NYSE: PK) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided an operational update. Second Quarter Highlights Include: Comparable RevPAR was $195.68, a decrease of (1.6)% compared to the same period in 2024, or only a (0.6)% decrease when excluding the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort ('Royal Palm'), which suspended operations in mid-May 2025 for a comprehensive renovation; Net loss and net loss attributable to stockholders were $(2) million and $(5) million, respectively; Adjusted EBITDA was $183 million; Diluted loss per share was $(0.02); Diluted Adjusted FFO per share was $0.64; Sold the 316-room Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf located in San Francisco, California for $80 million, or $253,000 per key. The sale price represents 64.0x 2024 EBITDA of the hotel. Proceeds from the sale will be used for ongoing return on investment projects in Park's portfolio and for other general corporate purposes; In July 2025, made the decision to permanently close the Embassy Suites Kansas City Plaza, which Park anticipates will occur during the third quarter of 2025. In connection with that decision, Park entered into an agreement with the ground lessor of the hotel to terminate the ground lease at the end of September 2025. The Embassy Suites Kansas City Plaza is projected to generate an insignificant amount of EBITDA during 2025; and Park's Hawaii's hotels did not sustain any damage following the tsunami warnings issued throughout the Pacific Ocean that were triggered by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the Russian coast that occurred on July 29, 2025. Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, 'We remain laser-focused on our strategic objective of reshaping the portfolio through non-core asset dispositions, as evidenced by the successful closing on the sale of the Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf for total proceeds of $80 million, representing a 64.0x multiple on 2024 EBITDA of the hotel, and with several other non-core assets in various stages of the marketing process, while reallocating and investing this capital in our iconic portfolio, like the Royal Palm hotel in Miami, which recently commenced a transformative renovation. With liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion, we remain well-positioned for long-term growth and committed to creating long-term shareholder value. I was encouraged by our second quarter results, with Comparable RevPAR declining by less than 1% excluding the Royal Palm in Miami. Results were driven by ongoing improvements in business travel in key urban markets, including San Francisco, New York, Denver and Boston, with our urban portfolio generating a 3% increase in Comparable RevPAR compared to prior year, including a 17% increase in Comparable RevPAR at the JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square and a 10% increase in Comparable RevPAR at the Hilton New York Midtown. Additionally, strength from certain of our resort hotels, including the Waldorf Astoria Orlando where RevPAR increased nearly 24% compared to the prior year from increases in both group and transient demand and the Hilton Caribe in Puerto Rico where RevPAR increased nearly 18% compared to prior year from an increase in transient demand, offset softness at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort as it continues to stabilize and re-gain market share following labor strikes in late 2024. I am also incredibly proud of the efforts by our team to maintain effective cost controls across the portfolio resulting in total expense growth of just 40 basis points this quarter, and continued savings expected over the back half of the year.' (1) Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers. (2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Comparable RevPAR excluding the Royal Palm, which suspended operations in mid-May 2025 for a comprehensive renovation, decreased (0.6)% and (0.7)%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. (3) Diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was calculated based on weighted average shares of 199 million for both periods, which excludes shares that were anti-dilutive. For purposes of Diluted Adjusted FFO per share, weighted average shares were 200 million for both periods. Expand Operational Update Results for Park's Comparable hotels in each of the Company's key markets and by hotel type are as follows: (1) Calculated based on unrounded numbers. (2) In mid-May 2025, operations at the Royal Palm were suspended for a comprehensive renovation. Expand Park continued to see improvements in group demand at its urban hotels and certain resort hotels, and compared to the second quarter of 2024, group revenues at the Hilton Waikoloa Village increased 57%, while group revenues at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, which was ranked 4 th Best Resort in Florida by Travel + Leisure in its 2025 World's Best Awards, increased nearly 29% following its recent transformative renovation, increasing RevPAR by nearly 24% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Group revenues at the Hilton New York Midtown increased over 16% compared to the second quarter of 2024, increasing RevPAR by nearly 10% due to an increase in corporate demand. At the end of June 2025, Comparable Group Revenue Pace for 2025 remained consistent to what 2024 group bookings were at the end of June 2024. While Comparable Group Revenue Pace for the third quarter of 2025 is projected to decrease (14)%, Park is expecting an increase to 18% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to what group bookings were for the same time periods in 2024 at the end of June 2024. Additionally, 2025 average Comparable group rates are projected to exceed 2024 average Comparable group rates by 5% for the same time period, with Comparable group rates for the third and fourth quarter of 2024 projected to exceed the average for the same time periods in 2024 by 2% and 6%, respectively. Balance Sheet and Liquidity As of June 30, 2025, Park's liquidity was approximately $1.3 billion, including $950 million of available capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility ('Revolver'). In addition, as of June 30, 2025, Park's Net Debt was approximately $3.7 billion, and the weighted average maturity of Park's consolidated debt is 2.7 years. Park had the following debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025: (1) Excludes the $725 million non-recourse CMBS Loan ('SF Mortgage Loan') secured by the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel (collectively, the 'Hilton San Francisco Hotels'), which is included in debt associated with hotels in receivership in Park's condensed consolidated balance sheets. In October 2023, the Hilton San Francisco Hotels were placed into court-ordered receivership, and thus, Park has no further economic interest in the operations of the hotels. (2) The loan matures in August 2042 but is callable by the lender with six months notice. As of June 30, 2025, Park had not received notice from the lender. (3) Calculated on a weighted average basis. (4) As of July 31, 2025, Park has $950 million of available capacity under the Revolver with no outstanding letters of credit. (5) SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. (6) Excludes $157 million of Park's share of debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. Expand Capital Investments During the second quarter of 2025, Park spent nearly $45 million on capital improvements at its hotels and expects to incur approximately $310 million to $330 million in capital expenditures during 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, Park began the $103 million comprehensive renovation at the Royal Palm, which includes a full renovation of all 393 guestrooms at the oceanfront hotel, along with the addition of 11 new guestrooms. The project is expected to generate a 15% to 20% return on investment. Hotel operations were suspended beginning in mid-May 2025, with an expected reopening in May 2026, resulting in an anticipated $17 million of disruption to Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, Park successfully completed nearly $75 million in guestroom renovations and room conversions that began in 2024 at two of its flagship properties in Hawaii – the Rainbow Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and the Palace Tower at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Park is scheduled to begin the second phase of renovations at both Hawaii properties in August 2025, alongside the second phase of guestroom renovations at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside which began in July 2025. Recent and upcoming renovations and return on investment projects ('ROI') include: (1) Start dates and completion dates are estimates unless noted. Expand Dividends Park declared a second quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2025. The second quarter dividend was paid on July 15, 2025. On July 25, 2025, Park declared a third quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on October 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2025. The declared dividends translate to an annualized yield of approximately 9% based on Park's closing stock price on July 29, 2025. Full-Year 2025 Outlook Park expects full-year 2025 operating results to be as follows: (1) Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers. Expand Park's outlook is based in part on the following assumptions: Except where noted, includes the impact of renovations at the Royal Palm of approximately $17 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and 40 bps of Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin; Adjusted FFO excludes $54 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the SF Mortgage Loan through October 29, 2025 (when the receivership is currently expected to end upon the sale of the hotels pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement that has been executed), which began in June 2023 and is required to be recognized in interest expense until legal titles to the Hilton San Francisco Hotels are transferred; Fully diluted weighted average shares for the full-year 2025 of 200 million; and Park's portfolio as of July 31, 2025 and does not take into account potential future acquisitions, dispositions or any financing transactions, which could result in a material change to Park's outlook. Park's full-year 2025 outlook is based on several factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, such as inflation, changes in interest rates and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown, as well as the assumptions set forth above, all of which are subject to change. Additionally, Park's full-year 2025 outlook does not include assumptions around the incremental impact of tariff announcements (including any foreign tariffs announced in response to changes in U.S. trade policy), or changes in travel patterns to the United States as a result of tariff or trade policy, as the net effect of such announcements cannot be ascertained or quantified at this time.

DEFINITIONS Comparable The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a Comparable basis as supplemental information for investors: Comparable Hotel Revenues, Comparable RevPAR, Comparable Occupancy, Comparable ADR, Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents Comparable hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company's Comparable metrics include results from hotels that were active and operating in Park's portfolio since January 1st of the previous year and property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented. Additionally, Comparable metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through July 31, 2025 and the Hilton San Francisco Hotels, which were placed into receivership at the end of October 2023. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin Earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization ('EBITDA'), presented herein, reflects net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and also interest income and expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings from investments in affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude the following items that are not reflective of Park's ongoing operating performance or incurred in the normal course of business, and thus, excluded from management's analysis in making day-to-day operating decisions and evaluations of Park's operating performance against other companies within its industry: Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period; Severance expense; Share-based compensation expense; Impairment losses and casualty gains or losses; and Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company's current or future operating performance. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses of the Company's consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of the Company's profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company's consolidated hotels. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenue. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under United States ('U.S.') GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company's management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other methods of analyzing the Company's operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations. Further, the Company does not use or present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of liquidity or cash flows. Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders, Nareit FFO per share – diluted and Adjusted FFO per share – diluted Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) are presented herein as non-GAAP measures of the Company's performance. The Company calculates funds from (used in) operations ('FFO') attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ('Nareit'), as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect the Company's pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 'Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,' since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. The Company believes Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. The Company's presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. The Company calculates Nareit FFO per diluted share as Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period. The Company also presents Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating its performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating its performance and in its annual budget process. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of operating performance. The Company adjusts Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders: Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period; Severance expense; Share-based compensation expense; Casualty gains or losses; and Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company's current or future operating performance. Net Debt Net Debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net Debt is calculated as (i) debt excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; and (ii) the Company's share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt also excludes Debt associated with hotels in receivership. The Company believes Net Debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net Debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net Debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. Occupancy Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Occupancy measures the utilization of the Company's hotels' available capacity. Management uses Occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate ('ADR') levels as demand for rooms increases or decreases. Average Daily Rate ADR (or rate) represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the hotel industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in Occupancy, as described above. Revenue per Available Room Revenue per Available Room ('RevPAR') represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company's performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: Occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods. Total RevPAR Total RevPAR represents rooms, food and beverage and other hotel revenues divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Management considers Total RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company's performance as approximately one-third of revenues are earned from food and beverage and other hotel revenues. Total RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods. Group Revenue Pace Group Revenue Pace represents bookings for future business and is calculated as group room nights multiplied by the contracted room rate expressed as a percentage of a prior period relative to a prior point in time.

'Epic' boost drives Comcast's quarterly results
By Harshita Mary Varghese (Reuters) -Comcast topped estimates for quarterly revenue and profit on Thursday, driven by a surge in theme park attendance sparked by the May debut of "Epic Universe", growth in its domestic wireless business and a spike in streaming revenue. Shares of the company rose about 5% in premarket trading. The Central Florida attraction boosted theme park revenue by nearly 19% in the second quarter, to $2.35 billion, even though it was open for about one month into the reporting period. The park, which represents an estimated $7 billion investment, is one of the six areas that will contribute to Comcast's growth. The live-action remake of the DreamWorks animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" generated around $600 million in global box office, lifting the studio's April-to-June revenue up 8% from a year ago. The Peacock streaming service reported revenue of $1.23 billion, a nearly 18% improvement, reflecting price hikes implemented in July 2024. Peacock maintained its total paid subscriber base of 41 million, thanks to hit shows such as the reality dating competition "Love Island USA". Losses at the division narrowed to $101 million, from $348 million a year earlier. Overall, Comcast reported revenue of $30.31 billion, narrowly beating the estimates of $29.81 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $1.25 per share, compared with estimates of $1.18. The company added 378,000 new wireless phone customers in the quarter, beating FactSet expectations for 345,000 additions. Comcast, which houses the Xfinity-brand of internet and cable services, shed 226,000 broadband customers in the second quarter, fewer than the 255,000 losses forecast by FactSet. To offset the ongoing broadband losses, Comcast has offered simplified all-inclusive packages that combine home internet, mobile and entertainment services. Comcast has also launched a five-year price lock guarantee for its internet customers, as it looks to reduce cancellations.
