Woodlawn, Chicago, United States, 3rd Mar 2025, Woodlawn Central, a visionary $895 million mixed-use development at 63rd and Dorchester, is moving forward with a newly announced joint venture for Phase One. Phillip Beckham III and Juan Saldana of P3 Markets have joined the project as development partners, while Bowa Construction, led by Nosa Ehimwenman, has been named construction manager and community partner.

Phase One of Woodlawn Central will include:

  • A state-of-the-art hotel
  • The restoration and repurposing of the historic Metra Head House
  • 140 units of mixed-income premier residential housing

This joint venture represents a pivotal milestone in bringing the vision for Woodlawn Central to life—a community-first development designed to foster economic opportunity, protect cultural heritage, and promote sustainable growth in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

A Commitment to Community-Led Development

  1. Byron Brazier, Lead Developer of Woodlawn Central, emphasized the importance of aligning with partners who share the project’s mission:

“After extensive meetings and proposals, it was clear that P3 Markets and Bowa Construction embody the values of shared vision and respect for community development,” said Brazier. “Phil, Juan, and Nosa bring the expertise, commitment, and collaborative spirit necessary to make this transformative vision a reality.”

Self-Development Model Prioritizing Equity

Unlike traditional developments, Woodlawn Central is being self-developed by ACOG Ventures, the LLC entity of the Apostolic Church of God (ACOG), to ensure that the community remains at the heart of the project.

Dr. Byron T. Brazier, Senior Pastor of ACOG, reinforced this commitment:

“After many disappointing conversations with traditional investors and developers, we are more determined than ever to ensure that this project serves the long-term stability of both the church and the community,” said Dr. Brazier. “We refuse to support displacement in any form and remain steadfast in our mission to empower the residents of Woodlawn.”

Since its announcement in 2021, Woodlawn Central has stood as a model for equitable development in the Black community—proving that large-scale urban projects can be community-led while prioritizing transparency, collaboration, and cultural preservation.

RXR.Lab Announces IEO Launch of Equity-Based RWA Blockchain Lottery Platform

Published

on

Singapore, 5th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, RXR.Lab announces its Initial Exchange Offering (IEO), scheduled for March 6, 2025, across four major exchanges: P2B, Azbit, DEX-trade, and Bitstorage.finance. The IEO will end on April 7th. 1 RXR token will correspond to 1 RXR.Lab Equity.

As the world’s first equity-based RWA project, RXR redefines the gaming and crowdfunding landscape. Every RXR token represents equity in RXR.Lab, aligning user participation with platform growth and profits.  

Rethinking the Lottery Industry  

RXR.Lab introduces an innovative concept to the global lottery and gaming industry, with several core features:

  • One Dollar Purchase Model: With just $10, users can enter and win high-value items, including 1 BTC.  
  • Equity Sharing: Even if users don’t win, they can recover part of their costs through the platform’s unique equity-based mechanism. 
  • Blockchain Technology: The integration of blockchain ensures transparency, decentralization, and fairness. This eliminates the trust issues found in traditional lottery systems.  

Rooted in the CAPM model, RXR.Lab’s structure combines entertainment with financial value, offering a predictable, equity-driven ecosystem.  

Tokenomics and Governance  

RXR tokens represent equity and investment potential. Key highlights include tokenomics and the structure of governance:

  • About the Token: The maximum supply is 380 million RXR tokens to make sure supply will be scarce and retain value.
  • Initial Supply: Only 130 million tokens will be released, with 40 million in circulation during the first phase.
  • Smart Contract Audit: RXR tokens have undergone a Solidproof audit, ensuring security and transparency for investors.  

Every token represents a share of RXR.Lab’s assets and profits, aligning user participation with long-term platform success. 

Goals and Future Plans  

RXR.Lab is working to change the classical diagram of financial and gaming relations. In this sense, March 6, 2025, will see the launch of this project’s IEO.

Over time, the team plans to include blockchain features, as well as to push its “one-dollar purchase” model to market. Secondly, RXR.Lab will extend a governance model in a decentralized way. In a word, any participant of any project will become a shareholder.

RXR.Lab aims to create an open and inclusive ecosystem by integrating real assets with blockchain technology. The project will foster the creation of a sustainable model for universal participation and collaborative growth.

Andre Shammas Featured in Exclusive Blog Discussing the Pros and Cons of Hiring a Tax Professional vs. DIY Tax Filing for Small Businesses

Published

on

California, US, 5th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Small business owners often face tough decisions when it comes to managing their taxes. Should they take the DIY route or hire a tax professional? In a newly released blog, tax expert Andre Shammas shares valuable insights into the pros and cons of each approach, helping entrepreneurs make informed decisions about their tax strategy.

The blog, titled “The Pros and Cons of Hiring a Tax Professional vs. DIY Tax Filing for Small Businesses,” explores the advantages and challenges of both methods. With years of experience in tax preparation, Andre provides a practical breakdown of cost, accuracy, time investment, and risk factors associated with filing taxes independently versus working with a professional.

A Balanced Approach to Tax Management

In the blog, Andre highlights that DIY tax filing can be a great option for businesses with simple finances and owners who are comfortable using tax software. However, the risks of errors, missed deductions, and potential IRS audits are important considerations. On the other hand, hiring a tax professional offers expert knowledge, maximized deductions, and IRS audit support, but comes with a higher cost.

“Taxes are one of the biggest responsibilities for small business owners, and making the right decision can impact your bottom line,” says Andre Shammas. “Some businesses can handle their taxes on their own with software, but for those with complex finances, multiple income sources, or employees, a tax professional can help prevent costly mistakes and optimize tax savings.”

The blog walks readers through key questions to consider when deciding between the two options. Andre stresses that each business is unique, and what works for one entrepreneur may not work for another.

Expert Insights to Help Business Owners Navigate Tax Season

The blog offers a side-by-side comparison of DIY tax filing and professional tax preparation, making it easy for business owners to assess their needs. It also provides recommendations for businesses that may benefit from a hybrid approach—using tax software for recordkeeping but consulting a professional for strategic planning.

Andre encourages small business owners to think beyond tax season and focus on long-term financial planning. He believes that a well-thought-out tax strategy can increase profitability and reduce stress year after year.

About Andre Shammas

Andre Shammas is an experienced tax preparer based in El Cajon, California, specializing in helping small business owners navigate tax planning, deductions, and compliance. With a hands-on approach and deep knowledge of tax laws, Andre is dedicated to empowering business owners with practical strategies to manage their finances efficiently.
