Acquisitions and housing alternatives: the week in real estate

Deals led the week. UFP Industries bought the operating assets and real estate of Texas pallet maker Apache Products for approximately $27 million. UK-based Reds10 Group acquired Louisville modular housing manufacturer MMY US, which it says creates a platform to expand modular affordable housing across the United States.

Housing demand and building risk were the other threads. Acton ADU says California's record ADU permit numbers reflect families housing aging parents and relatives rather than market tenants. Oracle NetSuite announced plans for an AI-powered construction accounting product. IBHS and the California Fire Chiefs Association scheduled a live burn demonstration on how design and landscaping near a home affect wildfire exposure. Several other releases this week, from Purina Dog Chow and Govee, fall largely outside the sector.
