Logan Landing officially launches with new show homes
Article content
The 350-acre community is east of Deerfoot Trail and south of 212th Avenue S.E., situated between the amenity-rich Seton neighbourhood and an expansive patch of untouched riverside wilderness. That means shopping, restaurants, schools, indoor recreation and a hospital is available to the north while to the south, there's just natural paradise.

Cedarglen Homes, Partners Homes, Sterling Homes and Genesis Builders Group opened single-family show homes in December, with the latter adding street town show homes this spring. Paved pathways and lush landscaping around a storm pond in The Ridge, the first phase of development, are in place and in the future will connect to future phases called The Bench and The Valley. There are two environmental reserves that will keep the natural area along Southern Alberta's most natural resource intact, which includes habitat for bird species like the great blue heron, for generations to come.

In the months since the show homes opened in Logan Landing, Genesis Builders Group received a prestigious BILD Calgary Region award for the parade's Mateo model, which won Best Single Family Home in the $741,000 to $840,999 category (price excludes land value). Genesis design manager Cindy Ross and her team styled the 2,397-square foot, three-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home following Japandi design conventions. The Japandi trend is all about natural fabric and calming colours, meshing Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian coziness.

'This home is light and natural in tone with wood and linens. The furniture is lower in this style, so you can better see out the windows. You can see Japandi in the artwork, the bamboo and in the plaster on the fireplace. The fireplace doesn't go all the way up the wall like many do and the lights are suspended lower. I actually think this fireplace won us the award,' Ross says with a smile.

The floor plan on the main floor has a secluded foyer at the front door, a mudroom with extra cubbies and a pantry with upgraded MDF rather than standard wire shelving. Architectural details include arched doorways, a 1990s trend that everyone wants again, Ross says.

Upstairs, there's a pony wall between the open-to-below and the bonus room for a touch of privacy and a tray ceiling adds visual interest to the primary bedroom.

Phases 1 and 2 of Logan Landing also include laned and duplex homes with options for secondary suites available in most models. Prices in the community start in the low to mid-$500,000s.

Every new community has distinct selling features and for Genesis, the location on the Bow is the most important. The developer has passed or exceeded all the prerequisites for building safely and in harmony with the environment. To compensate for the inevitable ground disturbance that comes with community building, and in collaboration with the Alberta Native Plant Rescue Society, Genesis is gifting native seeds to new homeowners as encouragement to restore prairie plants in their yards.

Kodak cautions there's ‘substantial doubt' about its ability to stay in business
The more than 130-year-old Eastman Kodak Co. is cautioning that there's 'substantial doubt' about its ability to stay in business, saying it may have difficulty meeting upcoming debt obligations. Shares of the photography company slid more than 13% in early trading Tuesday. 'Kodak has debt coming due within 12 months and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current terms,' the company wrote in a regulatory filing. 'These conditions raise substantial doubt about Kodak's ability to continue as a going concern.' The Rochester, New York-based company said that it had $155 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, with $70 million held within the U.S. Last year Kodak said that it would end its retirement income plan in order to pay down debt, according to The Wall Street Journal. Kodak Chief Financial Officer David Bullwinkle said in a statement on Monday that the company expects to know by Friday how it will satisfy its obligations to pay all pension plan participants and foresees completing the reversion by December. Founded by George Eastman in 1880, Eastman Kodak Co. is credited with popularizing photography at the start of the 20th century and was known all over the world for its Brownie and Instamatic cameras and its yellow-and-red film boxes. It was first brought down by Japanese competition and then an inability to keep pace with the shift from film to digital technology. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012 after struggling with increasing competition, continuing growth in digital photography and growing debt. The company wound up selling off many of its businesses and patents, while shutting down the camera manufacturing unit that first made it famous. It received approval for its plan to emerge from court oversight a year later. At the time, Kodak was looking to recreate itself as a new, much smaller company focused on commercial and packaging printing. Kodak is now nearing completion on a manufacturing plant to create regulated pharmaceutical products. The company already makes unregulated key starting materials for pharmaceuticals. Production at the retrofitted facility is expected to start later this year.

U.S., China extend tariff deadline for 90 days just hours before expiration
U.S. President Donald Trump extended a trade truce with China for another 90 days Monday, at least delaying once again a dangerous showdown between the world's two biggest economies. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he signed the executive order for the extension, and that 'all other elements of the Agreement will remain the same.' Beijing at the same time also announced the extension of the tariff pause, according to the Ministry of Commerce. The previous deadline was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Had that happened the U.S. could have ratcheted up taxes on Chinese imports from an already high 30 per cent, and Beijing could have responded by raising retaliatory levies on U.S. exports to China. The pause buys time for the two countries to work out some of their differences, perhaps clearing the way for a summit later this year between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and it has been welcomed by the U.S. companies doing business with China. Story continues below advertisement Sean Stein, president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said the extension is 'critical' to give the two governments time to negotiate a trade agreement that U.S. businesses hope would improve their market access in China and provide the certainty needed for companies to make medium- and long-term plans. 'Securing an agreement on fentanyl that leads to a reduction in U.S. tariffs and a rollback of China's retaliatory measures is acutely needed to restart U.S. agriculture and energy exports,' Stein said. China said Tuesday it would extend relief to American companies who were placed on an export control list and an unreliable entities list. After Trump initially announced tariffs in April, China restricted exports of dual-use goods to some American companies, while banning others from trading or investing in China. The Ministry of Commerce said it would stop those restrictions for some companies, while giving others another 90-day extension. Reaching a pact with China remains unfinished business for Trump, who has already upended the global trading system by slapping double-digit taxes – tariffs – on almost every country on earth. 3:20 Canada targets China with higher tariffs as part of steel industry measures The European Union, Japan and other trading partners agreed to lopsided trade deals with Trump, accepting once unthinkably U.S. high tariffs (15 per cent on Japanese and EU imports, for instance) to ward off something worse. Story continues below advertisement Trump's trade policies have turned the United States from one of the most open economies in the world into a protectionist fortress. The average U.S. tariff has gone from around 2.5 per cent at the start of the year to 18.6 per cent, highest since 1933, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy But China tested the limits of a U.S. trade policy built around using tariffs as a cudgel to beat concessions out of trading partners. Beijing had a cudgel of its own: cutting off or slowing access to its rare earths minerals and magnets – used in everything from electric vehicles to jet engines. In June, the two countries reached an agreement to ease tensions. The United States said it would pull back export restrictions on computer chip technology and ethane, a feedstock in petrochemical production. And China agreed to make it easier for U.S. firms to get access to rare earths. 'The U.S. has realized it does not have the upper hand,'' said Claire Reade, senior counsel at Arnold & Porter and former assistant U.S. trade representative for China affairs. In May, the U.S. and China had averted an economic catastrophe by reducing massive tariffs they'd slapped on each other's products, which had reached as high as 145 per cent against China and 125 per cent against the U.S. 2:11 Business Matters: Global stock markets surge as U.S. and China reach 90-day 'breakthrough' trade truce Those triple-digit tariffs threatened to effectively end trade between the United States and China and caused a frightening sell-off in financial markets. In a May meeting in Geneva they agreed to back off and keep talking: America's tariffs went back down to a still-high 30 per cent and China's to 10 per cent. Story continues below advertisement Having demonstrated their ability to hurt each other, they've been talking ever since. 'By overestimating the ability of steep tariffs to induce economic concessions from China, the Trump administration has not only underscored the limits of unilateral U.S. leverage, but also given Beijing grounds for believing that it can indefinitely enjoy the upper hand in subsequent talks with Washington by threatening to curtail rare earth exports,' said Ali Wyne, a specialist in U.S.-China relations at the International Crisis Group. 'The administration's desire for a trade détente stems from the self-inflicted consequences of its earlier hubris.' It's unclear whether Washington and Beijing can reach a grand bargain over America's biggest grievances. Among these are lax Chinese protection of intellectual property rights and Beijing's subsidies and other industrial policies that, the Americans say, give Chinese firms an unfair advantage in world markets and have contributed to a massive U.S. trade deficit with China of $262 billion last year. Reade doesn't expect much beyond limited agreements such as the Chinese saying they will buy more American soybeans and promising to do more to stop the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl and to allow the continued flow of rare-earth magnets. But the tougher issues will likely linger, and 'the trade war will continue grinding ahead for years into the future,'' said Jeff Moon, a former U.S. diplomat and trade official who now runs the China Moon Strategies consultancy.

Baylin Technologies Receives $735,000 (CAD) Purchase Order from a Middle East Broadcaster for its Advantech Genesis Amplifiers
TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Baylin Technologies Inc. (TSX: BYL) (OTCQB:BYLTF) ("Baylin" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Advantech Wireless Technologies ("Advantech") subsidiary has received a $735,000 purchase order from a Middle East broadcaster for its Genesis amplifiers to be used in a mobile satcom network. Advantech's Genesis solid state amplifiers provide unparalleled reliability. The CAN-Bus operating platform supports component-level diagnostics along with the ability to modify features and operations parameters by remote control. Subsequent phase orders of similar magnitude are anticipated for the near future. Leighton Carroll, Baylin's CEO, said "This is an important milestone in several ways – not just for Advantech, but for Baylin overall. In other words, while the purchase order is terrific, the implications for the future are more meaningful." "The Genesis amplifiers represent new technology architecture, which is replacing older legacy technology. That technology had complicated supply chains – meaning parts ordering and inventory complexity. It also meant that our production team would have to work on different designs and materials, even in the same product family. That led to longer lead times in manufacturing." "Genesis has great performance with more features and resiliency. Importantly, it is also based on a consistent component architecture. This means these products have simplified inventory requirements given this consistency of design. It also means that manufacturing is streamlined, leading to higher efficiency and substantially lower book to bill times on these products." "We have effectively retired two significant legacy product groups and replaced them with better performing products that we can produce more efficiently. We expect this will lead to improving margins for our Satellite business in the coming years." About Baylin Baylin is a leading diversified global wireless technology company. Baylin focuses on research, design, development, manufacturing and sales of passive and active radio-frequency and satellite communications products, and the provision of supporting services. Baylin aspires to exceed its customers' needs and anticipate the direction of the market.
