Jim Clark just can’t quit starting companies. The billionaire cofounder of Silicon Graphics, Netscape, myCFO, Healtheon, and Shutterfly, moved to Florida roughly 16 years ago to dive into the Miami real estate market.

Walmart is taking the competition up a notch, or rather, a few hundred feet. In a move that comes nearly a year after Amazon was awarded a patent for a similar concept, the retail giant applied for a U.S. patent for a floating warehouse, Bloomberg reports. The blimp would float above the country between 500 feet and 1,000 feet and would be operated autonomously or by a remote human pilot. The floa...
Walmart wants to mimic Amazon’s far-out technology again — and this time the copycatting involves blimps. The Arkansas-based retailer has filed a patent for a “gas-filled aerial transport” — basically a blimp that would serve as a flying warehouse full of inventory to be picked up and delivered by drones.

It’s no secret that collecting receivables for CRE companies is a challen...
I’ve been lucky enough to cover this industry during a time of economic expansion, meaning our pages and our website seem to feature more good news than the type of doom-and-gloom stories you’ll see when the market has hit the skids. That said, I’ve always had to temper my enthusiasm when it comes to New Jersey’s office market. Even good news such as a blockbuster lease or the rare new dev...
