June 20 Luxury Auction® Scheduled for Luxe Estate & Ranch in Bend, OR with Cascade Mtn Views
BEND, Ore., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A multimillion-dollar estate and ranch in Bend, Oregon has been scheduled for sale at luxury auction on June 20, 2025. Previously asking $6.3 million, the 20-acre property will now be sold to the highest bidder without reserve at a live auction with real-time bidding on the third Saturday of this month. The property owner hired Miami-based luxury real estate auction specialists Platinum Luxury Auctions to conduct the sale. Platinum is working in cooperation with listing agent Jennifer L. Schaake of the Schaake Capital Group at Cascade Hasson Sotheby's International Realty, one of the market's top-performing luxury agents. "The Bend marketplace has been steadily evolving into a preferred destination for substantially wealthy buyers coming from some of the west coast's premier markets, such as Seattle, San Franciso and Los Angeles," stated Trayor Lesnock, founder and president of Platinum Luxury Auctions. "This property is perfect for those looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty and amenities of Bend, while still being within a short distance of the heart of the city." The property is situated in a low-density community in outer Bend that is comprised of medium-to-large acreage parcels with large estates and ranch-style homes, offering added privacy while still being within a 10-min drive of downtown Bend. The Redmond Municipal Airport is within a 15-min drive. Spectacular views of the Cascade Mountain Range are afforded from nearly every vantage of the property. These views include Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, South Sister, Middle Sister, North Sister, Mt. Washington, Mt. Jefferson, and - when skies are clear - Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain, with a summit at 11,249 ft. The property sits at an elevation of approximately 3,500-3,700 ft. The property's luxurious, two-story residence features two living levels that span more than 7,300 sf, with 6 beds, 7 full and one-half baths. It was custom built in 2014 by Craig Johannesen, a boutique builder known for developing luxury homes for select clientele in many of Oregon's premier communities. Home interiors, defined by spacious living areas with volume ceilings, oversized windows and an abundance of natural light, were designed by Kirsti Wolfe, of Kirsti Wolfe Designs in Bend, OR. Prominent residence features include a two-story living room with big-picture windows, gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry, executive office, multiple balconies and terraces, custom-tailored staircase (imported from Toronto and installed in one piece) and various "multi-purpose" rooms that can be used as a fitness center, home theater, art studio and more. Grounds include a private and gated entry with paved drive and three-vehicle garage, perimeter fencing, 5-stall barn with upper-level multi-purpose space, an original farmhouse, four (4) paddocks with loafing sheds and water supply, cattle shoot and storage pen, and a 130-ft x 200-ft riding arena equipped for standard barrel racing. The property's 20 acres also convey with valuable, senior water rights from the Swalley Irrigation District that service 18 acres. Comparatively, most parcels in the area have subordinate water rights servicing only 5-10 acres. These special water rights ensure the property enjoys ample water service for all residential and agricultural needs. Property previews are available by daily appointment through June 19, and may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, Trudy Vella, at 800.997.4235. Due diligence documents, photos and video are also hosted online at About Platinum Luxury Auctions: Platinum Luxury Auctions created the luxury auction® model for multimillion-dollar real estate auctions and owns the federal trademark rights to the term "luxury auction." The Miami-based auction house specializes in the non-distressed sale of multimillion-dollar properties throughout the U.S. and select international markets, and has offered properties in 33 states and 15 countries to date. Platinum's team has closed more than $1.7 billion in luxury auction sales, and has consulted or advised HNW and UHNW individuals on more than $4.5 billion in luxury property assets.

Why Companies Using AI Should Increase Prices
AI can be a game changer for businesses, but it can also be an expensive drag on the balance sheet. A new report from billing software provider Chargebee found that companies that grew most in the last year were the ones that changed their pricing strategies to account for AI. The ones that were most successful combined a variety of pricing models: recurring subscriptions, usage-based models, outcome-based models and flat fees. Four in five of the companies surveyed that added AI said they are also changing their pricing. But how to adjust prices, especially in a time of economic uncertainty, is a challenge. Just over half said customer retention is their top concern, but 40% of businesses that adjusted prices last year reported a disconnect between increases and customer value. Nearly a quarter of companies struggled with explaining the benefits of adding AI functions to their services, while technical issues also caused struggles. Most SaaS providers have traditionally charged enterprises based on individual licenses, which is far different from a usage fee. Many companies, the study found, are testing out a variety of pricing structures to see what works best. A vignette in the study from AI fiction writing tool Sudowrite's founder Amit Gupta laid out an issue they had with their original flat subscription-based pricing model: There were users paying $20 a month for the service, but their use of AI was costing the company $400 a month. They started charging by the word—and letting users develop custom tools—but that also could be more unsustainable if the users did a lot to modify those tools. Now they have a credit and usage-based model, but the company is still experimenting with it. While decisions on pricing and value calculations often come from the CFO or CEO, input from the CIO—who best understands cost, usage and value of AI-driven functions—is vital to driving revenue growth through a company's AI transition. CIOs also know which functions are needed for their enterprise, and which price increases may be worth budgeting for. Use of AI and new technology depends on infrastructure as well as service, and updating the technological capacity of a place can be a huge undertaking. The Kraft Group, which owns businesses including the New England Patriots and their home field Gillette Stadium, recently signed a five-year agreement with infrastructure provider NWN to upgrade the stadium and other playing facilities. I talked to Kraft Group CIO Michael Israel and NWN CEO Jim Sullivan about how they are preparing these mega-facilities for a more connected future. An excerpt from our conversation is later in this newsletter. The Clinton Clean Energy Center in Clinton, Illinois. All of the things AI can do with computing need power, and a lot of it. This week, Meta made a deal to get the power it needs, signing a 20-year agreement to buy all of the power produced at a Constellation Energy nuclear plant in Clinton, Illinois. The agreement starts in June 2027—after an existing state agreement runs out—and will expand the plant's output. Meta has prioritized finding sources of nuclear power, both with new plants and utilizing existing ones, to support its technology going forward. The company announced an RFP for nuclear energy developers in December, and says it has shortlisted potential new nuclear power resources. This is the second deal a tech company has made with Constellation to redevelop its nuclear plants for AI. In September, Microsoft announced a 20-year deal with the power provider for one of its reactors at its Three Mile Island facility in Pennsylvania (not impacted by the 1979 meltdown). Constellation has said it expects to restart the reactor by 2028. Amazon and Google have both been investing in small nuclear reactors, and Google announced an investment in three advanced nuclear energy projects by Elementl Power. These deals, coupled with four executive orders from President Donald Trump aimed at bolstering nuclear power, seem to be heralding a new nuclear power age in the U.S., writes Forbes senior contributor David Blackmon. In the meantime, tax incentives for renewable energy sources, including solar panels and wind turbines, are in line to be cut in Trump's latest budget. Still, Forbes senior contributor Ken Silverstein writes, renewable energy is touted by many as the fastest and least expensive way to get more power into the grid—and could also play a huge role in generating the electricity needed for the AI-driven future. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Trump Administration is reorganizing the AI Safety Institute into a new group: the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. Forbes' Thomas Brewster writes that there are few obvious changes. The AI Safety Institute was created in 2023 as part of President Joe Biden's AI executive order, and operated within the National Institute of Standards & Technology to research risks in AI systems. The revamped Center for AI Standards and Innovation is still part of NIST but is under the purview of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and positions itself as taking a bulwark against 'censorship and regulations [that] have been used under the guise of national security. Innovators will no longer be limited by these standards.' But the statement about the revamped organization says that this group will also work on research to measure and improve security of systems, evaluating where risks exist. At this juncture, it's difficult to see what the big difference in purpose is—except, of course, that this iteration has a different name and was established by a different president. Outside of the government sphere, computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, often referred to as the 'godfather of AI,' launched a new nonprofit organization aimed at creating AI systems prioritizing safety, writes Forbes senior contributor Leslie Katz. LawZero is starting with $30 million in funding and is assembling a team of world-class AI researchers to work on a system called Scientist AI—a non-agentic system that behaves in response to human input and goals. 'Such AI systems could be used to provide oversight for agentic AI systems, accelerate scientific discovery and advance the understanding of AI risks and how to avoid them,' the statement on the organization's website says. 'LawZero believes that AI should be cultivated as a global public good—developed and used safely towards human flourishing.' Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images All USB-C ports are not created equal, and Microsoft intends to do something about it. Ports don't always have the same capabilities now, meaning users sometimes plug peripherals into their computers and they don't work. Forbes senior contributor Barry Collins writes that the company will establish minimum settings for all USB-C ports on its computers, meaning things will work every time they are plugged in. But while this will be a welcome change, it is a hardware one—meaning it will make no difference until users actually upgrade their physical computers. Kraft Group CIO Mike Israel and NWN CEO Jim Sullivan. In April, the Kraft Group—which owns the New England Patriots, MLS' New England Revolution and Gillette Stadium—signed a five-year agreement with tech infrastructure provider NWN to transform the tech framework for the Kraft Group's facilities, including Gillette Stadium and a new training facility for the Patriots. I talked to Kraft Group CIO Michael Israel and NWN CEO Jim Sullivan in April about the challenges of bringing the latest technology infrastructure to a place like Gillette Stadium, and how big facilities with a multitude of uses can plan for the future. This conversation has been edited for length, clarity and continuity. A longer version is available here. How do you come up with what you want to accomplish, and how do you figure out what kind of infrastructure is needed to make it happen? Israel: We have our Monster Jam [this weekend] at the stadium. On Saturday, I'll be walking around the stadium engaging. Gillette is one of the few stadiums in the country in which we own and self-operate our stadium. It's our security staff, our concession staff. I am walking around watching how our fans engage with us. How are our systems being used? Where are they inefficient? Where are they doing their job? How can we improve that experience? Guests will come up to me and say, 'How do I get to the gate?' 'How do I get to my suite?' 'Where's the nearest bathroom?' When they're asking me these things, that's registering in my mind: They don't have that information today. When you have these types of events, they're new users. You want them to have a positive experience because that's your lead in to a potential soccer season ticket holder or future Patriots season ticket holder. But even when you get to the Patriot season ticket holders, what can we do to enhance that experience? It's seeing how our guests experience things, what we're doing right, what we're doing wrong, and not sitting back and saying, 'I'm good. I'm going to go watch the game.' I've been here six years. I think I've seen 15 minutes of one football game. On a football day, I'll generally do about 30,000 steps walking the stadium, watching what's going on. The other side of the coin is what do we do from a technology perspective, looking at what do I need to do to ensure that I have connectivity, and what devices are now connecting to the networks that hadn't in the past? The system that waters the field is an IoT system that's attached to our network. If it's not connecting, it's not watering the field, and we don't know what's going on. We have to allow for connectivity, secure that connectivity, and make sure that that connectivity is reliable. We constantly do surveys after a winter to say, what got impacted by the winter? Do I have Wi-Fi access points that may be misaligned that need to be looked at? I have FIFA coming in next year. That's like having seven Super Bowls over six weeks here at the stadium. They're going to use my parking lots on the east and west side as fan activation zones. I don't have connectivity there. Working with the NWN team, we have to determine what does FIFA need? How do we light up those areas that when the fans are there, they have connectivity. Their booths can operate, their systems can operate, the fans can get connectivity, and we'll have maybe 50,000 or 60,000 fans in the bowl, but we could have an additional 50,000 people on the campus, and that's not a crowd that we're used to having. On the NWN side, how do you determine what to do in large facilities like these and how to support current and future needs? Sullivan: NWN, over the past five years, has grown from $250 million to over $1 billion dollars this year, and really expanded this full end-to-end IT infrastructure. The market is changing really fast with AI adding in. For us, it's working with organizations to start with the end state: What's the vision of what we have to have here, what we're trying to drive? And then, what's the required capabilities? Most of these environments, from the application, to the AI, to the infrastructure, to the unified communications, to security all have to be assessed as one holistic solution. Then we put in the right required capabilities from the technology, the services, the overall management, and co-management with Mike's team. We've reached the breadth and scale where we're dealing with organizations where there's hundreds of thousands of people, or states with 50,000 deployments of people and requirements. We can cover end-to-end, but also have the scale to handle a large project that goes across multiple technology domains and supports a smaller event, and all of a sudden it surges to hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone is getting used to [the fact] that customer experience needs to be world-class; there's expectations there. Ultimately, the Wi-Fi is going to be fast, strong and secure. And then going into these new technologies to a real beneficial evolution, where it's creating new user experience, new knowledge, but is also driving a backend that's going to create a lot more capacity demands on the networks, on the infrastructure. You've got to be able to tie it all together. What advice do you have for CIOs looking to bring more technology to their facilities, thinking about not only what to do today, but what to do in the future? Israel: Ultimately, it's not just if you build it, they will come. If you're building it, you need to be brainstorming how you're going to use it, and you need to have relationships with all of your stakeholders to understand what's holding them back, what would they like to see? In some cases, they don't know what they don't know, and we have to take these technology discussions, take the technology out of it, and think about how are we going to provide solutions. Sullivan: We did 5,000 distinct deployments last year. The really successful ones are driven with a positive outcome you're trying to get to. Collaboration and a partnership between the two as a seamless team really drives the most success to drive those outcomes. With the rise of agentic AI, non-human agents will soon have the ability to do significant work tasks, like the more technical jobs of database administrators. That seems like a huge leap, but here's how to start warming to the idea and embracing this kind of AI agent (even if you're a DBA). You may be an introvert, but that doesn't mean you can't be a successful leader. Here are 10 things you can do to become a thriving manager.
