by John Nelson November 25, 2025

RICHARDSON, TEXAS AND WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Justice Department’s Antitrust Division has reached a settlement with RealPage Inc. as part of its ongoing enforcement against algorithmic coordination, information sharing and other anticompetitive practices in rental housing markets across the country, according to details disclosed in a North Carolina federal court on Monday. The proposed consent judgment, which still requires court approval before it can be implemented, would help restore free market competition in rental markets for millions of American renters, the Justice Department stated in a press release. “Competing companies must make independent pricing decisions, and with the rise of algorithmic and artificial intelligence tools, we will remain at the forefront of vigorous antitrust enforcement,” said Assistant Attorney General Abigail Slater of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. Headquartered in Richardson, Texas, RealPage is a provider of revenue management software and services for the conventional multifamily rental housing industry.

LEGO Group Breaks Ground on $360M Regional Distribution Center in Virginia

by Abby Cox November 24, 2025

PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VA. — The LEGO Group has broken ground on its new 2 million-square-foot regional distribution center in Prince George County near Richmond. The $360 million project will complement the LEGO Manufacturing Virginia facility that is underway in nearby Chesterfield County. Both facilities are scheduled to open in 2027 and will allow the company to reduce lead times, respond faster to shifts in demand, shorten the supply chain and slash its environmental impact. The new facility, which marks LEGO’s sixth distribution center worldwide and second in the United States, will feature advanced automation and will use 100 percent renewable energy to power the site to meet LEED Gold certification. The company also aims to achieve WELL Certification, which certifies buildings for improving the health and well-being of its occupants. The LEGO Group previously announced a build-to-suit lease for the new distribution center with Crosspointe Commerce Center, a joint venture between Hillwood Investment Properties and The Silverman Group. A third-party logistics provider will operate the facility, which is expected to create more than 300 jobs once opened, according to company representatives.
