DVO Real Estate's David Valger Decodes Multifamily Sector Opportunities On Navatar's A-Game Podcast: Trump Tariffs, Macroeconomic Trends, Valuations, Salesforce CRM, AI
With tariff uncertainty, Valger's insights connect the dots between Washington's policy shifts and real estate dealmaking on the ground. NEW YORK and LONDON, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The newest episode of Navatar A-Game features an insightful conversation with David Valger, President of DVO Real Estate, who shares why now may be one of the most attractive times to invest in multifamily real estate—despite uncertainty in the market. Hosted by Alok Misra, CEO of Navatar, the episode dives deep into macroeconomic trends, political risk, capital allocation, and how emerging technologies like AI are influencing deal-making and portfolio management in real estate. 'We are in a historically low spot of valuation,' said Valger. 'Cap rates are up, net operating income is down, and capital has been on pause. If you can make a deal work today without betting on cap rate compression or rent growth—you preserve the optionality to outperform when the cycle turns.' A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link. Key themes explored in the episode include: Supply-Demand Imbalance Sets the Stage for Rent Growth Valger points out that while multifamily has faced a temporary glut of new supply in high-growth markets, development starts have plummeted due to interest rate hikes and material costs. As a result, the U.S. may face a multifamily unit shortfall of 800,000 to 1 million units over the next 3–5 years, fueling long-term rent growth. 'Demand is rising. Single-family homes are increasingly unaffordable. If supply stalls, as we expect, rents will climb significantly—even if the Fed doesn't lower rates immediately,' Valger noted. Dislocated Pricing Creates Opportunity for Disciplined Buyers As both net operating income (NOI) and cap rates have moved unfavorably, multifamily valuations have fallen. But for investors with dry powder and a long-term view, that creates a rare opportunity to acquire high-quality assets at a discount. 'You don't need to underwrite for a home run to end up hitting one,' Valger said. 'If you buy right and manage well, the optionality for outperformance is baked in.' Tariffs & Trade Policy: Hidden Drivers of Development Economics The discussion tackles the Trump administration's evolving tariff policy and its likely effect on construction materials and development. While some see tariffs as a risk, Valger believes they will raise the cost of entry for less experienced operators and developers—ultimately benefiting firms with strong operations and sourcing capabilities. 'We're already well-positioned on cost controls and sourcing. If tariffs raise the bar, it only strengthens the advantage for disciplined investors.' Technology & AI: Real Estate's Next Competitive Edge Valger shares how DVO Real Estate is beginning to experiment with AI to improve investor communication and surface distressed opportunities faster. 'AI can help us identify assets at risk, find signals in data, and make our time more impactful. That's where the real promise lies.' Navatar: Enabling the Future of Private Market Deal-Making Throughout the episode, Alok Misra and Valger highlight how technology like Navatar empowers firms to manage deal flow, fundraising, and investor relationships with greater speed and insight—something especially critical in times of market dislocation. 'We're seeing a shift. Executives want more than just reporting—they want insights. Navatar is building for that future, bringing together CRM, AI, and deal intelligence in ways that real estate and private equity firms can finally act on,' said Misra.

PyroGenesis Signs $600,000 Contract Targeting Plastic Waste Management Problem in Europe
Expands relationship with one of the world's largest integrated environmental services companies. MONTREAL, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Inc. ('PyroGenesis') ( (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced all-electric plasma processes and sustainable solutions to support heavy industry in their energy transition, emission reduction, commodity security, and waste remediation efforts, announces that it has signed a contract for €379,000 (approximately CA$600,000) with one of the world's largest integrated environmental services companies, expanding PyroGenesis' relationship with this client to include developing a solution for the plastic waste problem in Europe. The client, whose name is being withheld for competitive and confidentiality reasons, operates more than 100 waste treatment sites and facilities across Europe. Plastic waste is a major issue across Europe, from both a waste and financial penalty perspective. In 2022, in Europe, over 32 million tonnes of plastic waste was generated, with only 27% being recycled. i Eight European member states landfill more than 50% of their plastics waste. ii As a result, the European Union has imposed significant financial penalties on plastic waste. On January 1, 2021, a levy on non-recycled plastic packaging waste was introduced, where each member state pays €800 for each tonne (€0.80 per kilogram) of non-recycled waste. iii To pay for this levy, individual member states have imposed various measures, including taxes on the manufacturing, importing, and purchase of non-reusable plastic packaging products as high as €0.45 per kilogram (in Italy and Spain). iv On top of these penalties, additional taxes are imposed in some member states on both the incineration and landfilling of waste, of up to €40 per tonne. v Today's announced project is for the engineering and testing of an advanced waste management solution targeting both non-recyclable plastics and other forms of hazardous liquid waste. Using PyroGenesis' high-temperature plasma gasification technology as the platform, the goal is to create an environmentally sustainable waste disposal process with low greenhouse gas 1: Non-recyclable plastic waste in a landfill. 'With these financial penalties in mind, European companies are seeking to reduce their plastic waste,' noted P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. 'With today's announcement, PyroGenesis hopes to develop a plasma-based technology solution toward this major challenge facing the European continent. This is the third project we have announced with this client in recent months, and this multi-project relationship, crossing two continents, underscores the growing appeal our solutions have with large, diversified companies that have a wide variety of technical challenges requiring unique solutions.' The first project announced on January 27, 2025 was for the design and delivery of components related to 'flaring' that provide for the safe and environmentally friendly incineration of emissions that occur during renewable natural gas production. The second project, announced February 18, 2025, is for the engineering, design, fabrication, and delivery of condensate pots that will be strategically placed within a biogas production infrastructure to collect and separate water from the 2: A proprietary PyroGenesis plasma torch, similar to the type that will be used to test solutions for effectively managing plastic waste. 'Today's announcement is also an important next step for the company in its waste remediation business line. For two decades we have provided environmentally friendly waste destruction systems, effectively targeting several different waste challenges such as hazardous end-of-life refrigerants, chemical warfare agents, and shipboard waste on aircraft carriers. In more recent years, we have been targeting the problem of landfills: in 2021, we acquired AirScience Technologies and launched Pyro Green-Gas to provide various technologies used during the conversion of renewable natural gas from landfill-based methane; in 2023, we developed a plasma torch to help destroy Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances or PFAS, known as forever chemicals due to a strong molecular bond that resists degradation and have been connected to worldwide health issues; and now with the project announced today, we've begun the process to face down perhaps the largest landfill issue: managing plastic waste.' Continued Mr. Pascali, 'landfills in their current form are unsustainable in the long-term, but a zero-waste agenda is simply not viable either. While a circular economy is the desired goal for plastics, the reality is that not all plastics are recyclable, and only a portion of recyclable plastics ever get recycled. This presents a major problem as landfilled plastics can have a variety of negative impacts, from leaching of underlying petroleum products to the health risks associated with microplastics and other potentially harmful compounds such as BPAs (bisphenol A) that can enter the ecosystem from landfills. With the growing demand for plastic products, technological intervention is required to help reduce the impact plastics are having on landfills. As is often said, the future of waste management is waste elimination. PyroGenesis hopes to eventually contribute to a solution that helps shift the plastic waste approach from incineration and landfilling to safe destruction and remediation that bypasses landfills entirely.' PyroGenesis' involvement in waste destruction is part of its three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. Plasma torches for use in waste destruction applications are part of PyroGenesis' Waste Remediation tier, encompassing the safe destruction of hazardous materials, and the recovery and valorization of underlying substances such as chemicals and minerals. The other tiers are Energy Transition and Emission Reduction, and Commodity Security and Optimization. About PyroGenesis Inc. PyroGenesis Inc., a high-tech company, is a proud leader in the design, development, manufacture and commercialization of advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and are economically attractive alternatives to conventional 'dirty' processes.
