Grand Prix institutes new pro-motherhood policy for athletes. Life Time's new pregnancy initiative for Grand Prix athletes, permitting women who become pregnant after selection to postpone their place to the following year without penalty, is a recognition that motherhood shouldn't be regarded as a career-undermining event. The backstory: As Cycling Weekly aptly put it in a 2023 article: [I]t is an inconvenient fact for female athletes that the years of peak physical performance just so happen to coincide with the years of peak fertility... For decades, the choice for female cyclists keen to become parents seemed clear: choose your career, or a family. In comments cited by the same 2023 article, Olympic and World champion Elinor Barker, who is also a mother, said: "I know that ten years ago it wouldn't really have occurred to many people that they'd be able to carry on [after becoming pregnant]. I think that has probably happened for some riders - they've stopped not because they wanted to but because they didn't really have the options." The details: Life Time recently introduced its new pregnancy policy for its Grand Prix series, after seasoned gravel racer Sarah Sturm - twice a podium finisher in the series - revealed that she is pregnant and will be withdrawing from competition this year. Based on Life Time's new policy, athletes handpicked for the Life Time Grand Prix who become pregnant may step out of the series, while preserving their place on the roster for the next season. The pregnancy policy applies for just one more season; if the athlete fails to return during that period, she forfeits that guaranteed roster spot. "I am so excited to announce this very big news," Sturm wrote on Instagram. "When I got pregnant my first call was to the Life Time Grand Prix to figure out what to do. This sparked a whole conversation and with the hard work of the people at Life Time we now have a pregnancy policy." These recent developments are welcome, as contemporary culture has too frequently regarded motherhood and career aspirations as mutually exclusive life goals. However, Life Time's recent move is a good step in the right direction, communicating the message that pregnancy is not and should not derail a woman's ambitions, and that a woman's aspirations as an athlete do not have to be forfeited or disappear when she becomes a mother. The big picture: At times, the realm of elite sports can appear like the last place to affirm motherhood, as it is dictated by performance, schedules, and physical demands. That's why the Grand Prix's decision is so monumental. "This is a big deal for women in the Grand Prix and for women in sport," Sturm said. "There is so much uncertainty as an athlete, especially as a female. This policy shows us respect and trust that we are capable of continuing our careers even after we have children. Of course, we know that's possible as women, and now we have the support from the biggest off-road race series in America." Promoting motherhood and childbirth is not merely about talk, but about constructing environments that facilitate and celebrate family life. Pro-family policies are not about forcing women into one version of motherhood, but about eradicating the obstacles to motherhood and family life, and enabling motherhood to blend with work or public accomplishments. Providing a welcoming environment for mothers in women's sports can spur other institutions to contemplate more about how they treat pregnancy, fertility, and motherhood. For instance, the Australian proposals outlined by a 2025 article in The Guardian suggest safeguarding pay, rankings, and career acknowledgements so women are not forced to choose between their careers and children. Although Life Time's move will not solve every challenge that motherhood entails, it is a step in the right direction to create cultural change. The bottom line: The best societies do not force women to choose between career excellence and motherhood, but create conditions towards a world in which both can thrive.

JLL Capital Markets arranges $136M refinancing capitalization for 655 Union. March 24, 2026 Avery Hall, Gindi JV secures financing for trophy Gowanus rental property JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $136 million financing for 655 Union, a newly delivered 193-unit trophy multifamily property located in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. JLL worked on behalf of the borrowers, Avery Hall Investments and Gindi Capital, to secure the financing through Freddie Mac and CenterSquare Investment Management. The Freddie Mac loan will refinance an existing construction loan and be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo Lender. This is the first transaction in New York to utilize Freddie Mac's Lease Up program following the introduction of the Borrow Up feature. Under this newly announced program enhancement, sponsors who achieve NOI improvements between the first and second year of their loan can return to secure additional proceeds at first mortgage pricing, providing an efficient mechanism to access increased leverage based on demonstrated property performance. "We are extremely proud to have developed amongst the best performing assets in the submarket to date, further demonstrating the continued economic maturation within Brownstone Brooklyn. This project truly embodies the targeted outcome we set out to achieve over half a decade ago, which was to provide high quality affordable and market rate housing product for all residents, while delivering risk adjusted appropriate returns for our investors. A true win-win," said Avi Fisher, Founding Partner at Avery Hall Investments. Delivered in 2025, 655 Union is a fully leased 15-story, 194,454-square-foot mixed-use property featuring 143 market-rate units and 50 affordable units and approximately 14,764 square feet of ground-floor retail space. It offers residents condo-quality finishes and a 12,000-square-foot amenity package that includes a 25-yard outdoor lap pool with cabanas, a fully equipped fitness center, yoga and Pilates studios, wellness space, coworking areas, media room, private dining room, sunset garden and 24/7 doorman and concierge service. Located at the border of Gowanus and Park Slope, the property is situated at the intersection of Union Street and 4th Avenue, directly above the Union Street subway station, offering residents immediate access to Manhattan and surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. The retail component is partially leased to the academic enrichment brand NY Kids Club and Bank of America. The JLL Capital Markets debt advisory team was led by Senior Managing Directors Christopher Peck and Peter Rotchford, Managing Director Michael Shmuely and Senior Director Nicco Lupo. "655 Union's premium design, transit connectivity and affordable housing component created an exceptionally strong lending opportunity," said Peck. "The transaction's success reflects robust liquidity for quality Brooklyn multifamily assets and strong investor confidence in Gowanus' continued growth." With an influx of new residents, Gowanus is seeing its retail and cultural scene expand with diverse restaurants, bars and shops, along with a thriving artist community. Lifestyle and fitness offerings include The Cliffs at Gowanus, New York's largest climbing gym, and athletic country club Life Time, which has announced plans for a new facility on Third Street.
