Growing ownership group buys oceanside Massachusetts golf course
Concert Golf Partners, a Central Florida-based company that owns a growing list of golf courses and clubs around the country, announced Tuesday that it has purchased The Club at New Seabury in Mashpee, Massachusetts.
Concert Golf Partners acquired New Seabury from IE Homes, Clubs and Resorts for an undisclosed price. The 300-acre oceanfront property near Cape Cod features 36 holes — the Ocean Course and the Dunes Course — plus a beach club and two dozen guest cottages and condos. The club is mostly private but does offer stay-and-play packages via its rental properties.
The purchase expands Concert Golf Partners' holdings to 39 golf and country clubs nationwide.
'To add an oceanfront club of New Seabury's caliber speaks to the premium level that Concert Golf Partners portfolio has ascended, and the trust home developers, private owners and club members put into our commitment to annually reinvest capital into our family of premier private clubs,' Concert Golf Partners Senior Vice President Jordan Peace said in a media release announcing the purchase.

Extension of US-China tariff pause ‘likely' – South Korea eager to get trade pact signed, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick signaled Monday that the Trump administration appears 'likely' to extend a pause on tariffs with China as trade negotiations continue, while the South Koreans 'really, really want to get a deal done.' 'They're talking right now, but the decision-maker, of course, is President Trump,' Lutnick said of the state of negotiations with China, during an interview with Fox News 'Special Report' host Bret Baier. 3 Lutnick suggested Monday that another 90-day pause on China tariffs seems likely. Ron Sachs/CNP / Washington and Beijing struck a deal in May to pause their raging trade war for 90 days, with the US agreeing to drop its 145% tariff rate on most Chinese goods to 30%, while China lowered its rate to 10% from 125%. The truce is set to expire on Aug. 12. Asked about reports that both sides were seeking to extend the pause, Lutnick indicated that while it appears 'likely,' the decision ultimately rests on Trump. 'I'm sure the people who are speaking with China are going to go discuss with President Trump how he wants to play it,' the commerce secretary said. 'He's got an excellent relationship with [Chinese President Xi Jinping], and I think we'll leave that to Donald Trump to decide.' 'Is that a likely outcome? Sure, it seems that way, but let's leave it to President Trump to decide,' Lutnick said of the potential for another 90-day pause. Lutnick noted that negotiations over the social media app TikTok are 'separate but adjacent' to a potential China deal. TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance, has a Sept. 17 deadline to divest the platform's American assets or face a US ban. 3 Lutnick touted Trump's 'excellent relationship' with Xi. REUTERS 3 Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs go into effect on Aug. 1. REUTERS Meanwhile, South Korea is eager to reach an agreement on a trade deal before Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs go into effect on Aug. 1. 'The South Koreans flew to Scotland to meet with me and [US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer] after dinner,' Lutnick said of his late-night, weekend discussions with South Korea. 'I mean, think about how much they really, really want to get a deal done,' Lutnick added. The Trump Cabinet official argued that the president 'is in the driver's seat now' when it comes to trade deals, and that he expects the commander in chief to 'consider a few deals' before Aug. 1, but that he's focused on deciding what the tariff rates will be for countries that haven't reached agreements with the US. So far, Trump has cut preliminary tariff deals with the UK, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines and the European Union. The president told reporters on Sunday that he has no intention of delaying the Aug. 1 deadline.

Brown University borrows $500 million more amid ‘deep financial challenges'
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up BIOTECH Advertisement Beleaguered Sarepta says it will 'honor' $100 million payment to Arrowstone Advertisement Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Monday that it's owed a $100 million milestone payment from Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. within the next two months, pressuring the beleaguered Cambridge-based biotech company just days after it stopped selling its biggest drug due to safety concerns. Arrowhead has stepped up public pressure on Sarepta over the past week, saying it could take back the rights to its drug if Sarepta fails to make payments. Sarepta has staked much of its future pipeline on RNA-targeting drugs, including those developed by Arrowhead. 'We intend to honor our commitments' to Arrowhead, Sarepta said in an emailed statement. Arrowhead investors have questioned whether Sarepta can make the payments, said TD Cowen analyst Joseph Thome. Monday's announcement, he said, was likely aimed at assuaging investors 'who were nervous that something might go sideways.' Earlier this month, Sarepa said it was cutting more than a third of its workforce and pausing several drugs in its pipeline to reduce costs. Sarepta is staring down $1.2 billion of debt and warned in filings earlier this year that its cash flow may not be enough to pay that obligation, which is due in 2027. — BLOOMBERG NEWS. INTERNATIONAL Trade court denies request to restore tariff exemption for small shipments A US trade court has for now denied an effort to restore a tariff exemption for small-value packages from China that President Trump ended earlier this year. The decision from the Court of International Trade on Monday in the fight over what's known as the 'de minimis' tariff exemption is the latest favorable order for the Trump administration in its defense against multiple lawsuits over his move to raise global tariffs. The three-judge panel said it wouldn't act in a case brought by a US-based auto parts distributor while a set of separate legal challenges to Trump's tariff actions are pending before a federal appeals court. The president's contested policies remain in effect for now. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is set to hear arguments at the end of this month in the earlier cases, and in Monday's order, the three-judge panel wrote that it 'will not grant redundant, contingent relief' while the other fight works its way through the US legal system. Packages coming into the United States have qualified for the exemption if they have a retail value of $800 or less. Trump's move to end it for China and Hong Kong hurt discount Chinese marketplaces such as Temu and Shein Group Ltd. that ship low-cost clothing, household goods, and other items directly to US consumers. The administration has accused Chinese chemical companies of abusing the policy to ship illegal synthetic opioids to the United States. Small businesses in the United States have also said they're feeling the pinch. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement DEMOGRAPHICS In bid to boost birthrate, China will offer subsidies of $502 per child China announced that it will start handing out childcare subsidies across the nation, in its latest push to boost birthrates after a worrying drop in recent years. The government will spend $502 a year per child under age 3, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. The assistance, effective retrospectively from Jan. 1 this year and available regardless of the first, second, or third child, is meant as an incentive for young couples wary of rising costs of child-rearing. The policy is expected to benefit more than 20 million families each year, Xinuha reported. China has previously offered tax breaks and has been working to offer more affordable daycare services, it said. The latest measure follows China's population shrinking for a third straight year in 2024. New births at 9.54 million last year was only half of the 18.8 million registered in 2016 when China lifted its one-child policy. Diminishing birthrate is a worry for the world's second-largest economy, where the working-age population has been declining in a threat to labor supply and productivity. The country, which lost its title as the most-populous nation to India in 2023, may see its population drop further to 1.3 billion by 2050 and below 800 million by 2100, according to the UN's demographic modeling. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement HIGHER EDUCATION Amid federal probe, UVA business school ends diversity partnerships The University of Virginia's Darden School of Business suspended its partnerships with several organizations dedicated to increasing opportunities for underrepresented groups in business schools amid persistent calls from the White House to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in order to maintain federal funding. The decision was 'part of a broader review of policies, programs and practices across the University of Virginia,' UVA Darden spokesperson McGregor McCance wrote in a statement. UVA Darden suspended a three-decade long partnership with the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, which aims to increase Black, Native American, and Hispanic representation in business schools, and a two-decade long connection to the Forté Foundation, which advocates for more women in business education. The school also suspended its ties with Reaching Out MBA, which offers scholarships and networking opportunities for LGBTQ+ students, and Management Leadership for Tomorrow, which focuses on expanding economic mobility and building better workplaces. The Trump administration has been targeting DEI programs at educational institutions, alleging they constitute a form of racial discrimination. In a letter sent to schools in February, the Department of Education threatened institutions that failed to comply with the loss of federal funding. And recently, the administration has followed through on those threats. UVA is being investigated by the Department of Justice over its DEI policies, which may result in the termination of federal funds, according to a June 16 letter sent to the head of UVA's board. The probe prompted University of Virginia president James Ryan to resign last month. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement

Herman Miller & John Pawson Unveil Pawson Drift Sofa Collection
London-based architectJohn Pawsonhas collaborated with American design purveyorHerman Millerto introduce an all-new seating collection, the Pawson Drift Sofa Group. Defined by minimalist forms and responsible materials, the lounge sofa line embraces Pawson's soft-modernist vision and the furniture brand's heightened focus on sustainability. 'Like all my work, this sofa group is the outcome of a process of stripping right back to the point where one's primary experience of space and objects is rooted in the quality of proportion, surface, and light,' shared Pawson in an official statement. The resulting pieces are strong yet simplistic, with bold rectilinear frames that depart from the rounded forms of Mid-Century trends. Reminiscent of the stripped-back wooden furnishings of traditional Japanese design, the joinery is made from solid Nortwood in a left- or right-chaise sectional, and a lounge chair. While offering optimal support for varied domestic use, the recessed platform and wrap-around design imbue the collection with a light and clean effect. With more than 80% natural, plant-derived components, the design may be pared back, but it rests on innovative fabrications to promote circularity. A responsibly sourced down feather jacket provides additional comfort to cushions, which use plant-based latex instead of petroleum-based foam. While the frame can be ordered in white oak or walnut, Herman Miller also offers Greenguard™ Gold Certified fabrics, Rowan, Beck, and Isa, helping to promote cleaner indoor air. The Pawson Drift Sofa Group is available in stores and online at theHerman Miller web storeand through MillerKnoll dealers for contract customers.
