Infleqtion Welcomes Executive Order on Quantum Technology

Infleqtion Welcomes Executive Order on Quantum Technology

CEO Matthew Kinsella joins President Trump at the White House as administration elevates quantum as a national priority

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, today welcomed President Trump’s Executive Order on quantum technology, which directs federal agencies to accelerate the development and deployment of quantum technologies across national security, commercial, and scientific applications.

Matthew Kinsella, Chief Executive Officer of Infleqtion, attended today’s signing ceremony at the White House.

“Today’s Executive Order accelerates America’s leadership in one of the most consequential technology races of our time,” said Kinsella. “Quantum technologies are becoming foundational to national security, scientific discovery, precision timing, advanced sensing, and future space systems. The President’s action makes American quantum leadership a national imperative.”

Earlier today, Infleqtion launched America’s Quantum Space Initiative, a new effort focused on accelerating the deployment of quantum technologies for future space systems. The initiative complements the company’s broader work advancing U.S. quantum computing and sensing leadership, including Infleqtion’s recent selection by the U.S. Department of Commerce for $100 million in proposed funding to accelerate U.S. quantum computing technologies and develop the engineering systems required for large-scale neutral-atom quantum computers.

Infleqtion has one of the industry’s broadest quantum technology portfolios, spanning quantum computing, advanced sensing, and space-based quantum systems.

Both the Executive Order and Infleqtion’s recent initiatives reflect the growing importance of quantum technologies to national security, scientific discovery, critical infrastructure, and economic competitiveness. Together, they reinforce the need to accelerate the development, deployment, and scaling of quantum computing, precision timing, advanced sensing, and space-based quantum capabilities in the United States.

The Board of Directors of each Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of each Fund’s shares.

Distributions of a Fund’s investment in real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs) and/or closed-end funds (CEFs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to each Fund after year-end by the REITs, MLPs and CEFs held by a Fund.

Each Fund’s distributions may include net investment income, long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains and/or return of capital. Under the plan, prior to the payment date of the distribution every month, each Fund will issue a press release and a notice containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information to shareholders of record on the record date.

BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has arranged a $375 million construction loan to finance JFK Boulevard, Nasser Freres’ transformative mixed-use development in the heart of Journal Square in Jersey City, New Jersey. The financing, provided by Madison Realty Capital, will support construction of the project in Journal Square, a significant addition to one of the New York metropolitan area’s fastest-growing transit-oriented districts.

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Institutional Advisory arranged the transaction as an exclusive advisor to Nasser Freres LLC. Keith Kurland, Aaron Appel, Adam Schwartz, Jonathan Schwartz, Dustin Stolly, Sean Reimer, Jordan Casella, Christopher de Raet, and Jack Krentzman arranged the floating-rate, interest-only construction loan, which was provided by Madison Realty Capital.

“The Walker & Dunlop team was proud to advise Nasser Freres on the capitalization of JFK Boulevard,” said Keith Kurland, senior managing director of Capital Markets and co-head of Institutional Advisory at Walker & Dunlop. “The combination of a premier transit-oriented location, a compelling development program, and an experienced sponsor generated significant interest from the lending community. We are pleased to have structured a financing solution that will help bring this transformative project to life and appreciate the partnership of both Nasser Freres and Madison Realty Capital throughout the process.”

Upon completion, the project will deliver 579,577 rentable square feet of residential space across 840 residences, including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. In support of Jersey City’s affordable housing goals, 84 residences, representing 10% of the total units, will be designated as affordable housing.

The development will also feature nearly 50,000 square feet of retail space anchored by a national organic grocer, further enhancing the neighborhood’s growing mix of shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. An additional 36,522 square feet will be dedicated to lifestyle and wellness amenities, including a spa, fitness center, multi-sport court, co-working and library lounges, game and screening rooms, outdoor pool with sun decks, dog run, pet spa, and a rooftop lounge.

“JFK Boulevard reflects our long-term commitment to Journal Square and our belief in Jersey City’s continued growth as one of the country’s most dynamic urban markets,” said Michael Sokoloff, partner at Nasser Freres. “By bringing together housing, thoughtfully curated retail, and an exceptional amenity experience in a highly connected location, we are creating a destination that will contribute to the neighborhood’s continued evolution. We are grateful to Walker & Dunlop and Madison Realty Capital for their partnership in helping bring this vision to life.”

Located at 2859–2873 JFK Boulevard, the property sits adjacent to the historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre and less than a five-minute walk to the Journal Square PATH station. The development offers residents direct access to Lower Manhattan in approximately 10 minutes and Midtown Manhattan in approximately 20 minutes, underscoring Journal Square’s emergence as one of the New York metropolitan area’s premier transit-oriented residential destinations. Completion is scheduled for early 2029.

“Demand for high-quality rental housing in transit-connected urban markets continues to outpace supply, and we remain focused on financing developments positioned to capture that imbalance,” said Josh Zegen, managing principal and co-founder of Madison Realty Capital. “With its exceptional location, differentiated mixed-use program, and highly experienced sponsorship team, JFK Boulevard is one of the most compelling developments underway in the New York metro area. We are pleased to support Nasser Freres in bringing this landmark tower to life and further strengthening Journal Square’s emergence as one of the region’s premier residential destinations.”

In 2025, Walker & Dunlop’s Capital Markets team sourced over $22 billion from non-Agency capital providers, including nearly $16 billion for multifamily properties. This vast experience has made them a top advisor on all asset classes for many of the industry’s top developers, owners, and operators.
