“Construction activity is progressing very well, and lot sales to our home builders are exceeding expectations,” commented Mark Harding, President and CEO. “We have completed approximately 250 finished lots and have closed on the sale of 210 of these lots,” continued Mr. Harding. “Our builders have sold more than 60 homes now under construction and continue to pursue acceleration of lot deliveries to help meet demand for our exciting community, and we expect to close on the sale of an additional 150 lots during fiscal year 2020,” continued Mr. Harding.
