German Commercial Property Could Decline Further, Report Warns

German commercial property prices are at risk of further declines as structural changes such as the shift to online shopping and home office as well as stricter energy requirements weigh on the sector, according to a regular report from a government-led commission. Such risks would be amplified further if investors in open ended real estate funds accelerate withdrawals, the report to Germany's lawmakers said. While commercial prices stagnated last year, a lack of transactions could have distored the picture.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Seals $2.4B Windsurf Deal to Fuel AI Coding Race

July 14 - Alphabet's Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is spending about $2.4 billion to secure AI coding talent and licensing rights from startup Windsurf. The agreement follows months of talks between Windsurf and OpenAI over a potential $3 billion acquisition, which faltered partly amid friction with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Under the terms, Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan and co?founder Douglas Chen will join Google's DeepMind division, along with several senior R&D staff. The recruits are set to focus on agentic coding tools within Google's Gemini AI platform. Google also obtained a nonexclusive license to key Windsurf technologies, allowing the startup to continue offering its innovations to other firms. The $2.4 billion covers both licensing fees and compensation for incoming personnel. With tech giants competing to create the next wave of AI innovations, Google wants to strengthen its code-writing options and have an advantage over the competitors in the rapidly changing AI environment.
