Comstock Announces Sale of Multi-Family Project for $19.75 Million

Focus on Multi-Family Having Positive Impact on Results

 

RESTON, Va., Oct. 31, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. ("Comstock" or "Company") (Nasdaq:CHCI) announced that on October 31, 2011, Comstock Cascades II L.C., an entity in which the Company has a controlling interest, entered into a definitive agreement ("Agreement") with CAPREIT, Inc. and/or its affiliates ("Purchaser") whereby Comstock agreed to sell CAPREIT its Potomac Square Apartment project ("Property") for approximately $19.75 million.

Comstock developed the 103-unit Class A apartment project within the Cascades master planned community located in Loudoun County, Virginia. Construction began during the first quarter of 2011 and was completed in the third quarter, with initial occupancies beginning in July. Cardinal Bank of Tysons Corner, Virginia provided a $10.5 million construction loan for the project. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to a customary due diligence period, during which the Purchaser is entitled to cancel the transaction.

"We continue to leverage our core operating strengths to capitalize on attractive development opportunities in what is arguably the best real estate market in America. Expanding our focus to include the development of institutional investment grade multi-family rental properties will have a positive impact on results in the near term," commented Christopher Clemente, Comstock's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The rapid construction, lease up, sale and overall performance of the Potomac Square Apartment project, and the significant institutional demand for such properties, demonstrate the opportunity that exists in the market today, and our ability to identify and capitalize on such opportunities. We will continue working to bring such assets to market while focusing our near term for-sale homebuilding investments on select opportunities with significant upside potential."

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $15.9 million, which compares to $21.2 million for the comparable 2010 period.

Notable Events

  • Improved financial position - As a result of the recently announced strategic alliance with SunBridge Capital Management, LLC and the settlement of the Eclipse lawsuit, the Company ended the September 30, 2011 quarter with $6.5 million of unrestricted cash on hand and total equity of approximately $15 million. This compares to $0.5 million of unrestricted cash on hand and total equity of approximately $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
  • Cascades Apartment Project - On October 31, 2011, Comstock Cascades II L.C., an entity in which the Company has a controlling interest, entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Potomac Square Apartment project ("Property") for approximately $19.75 million. Comstock developed the 103-unit Class A apartment project within the Cascades master planned community located in Loudoun County, Virginia. Construction began during the first quarter of 2011 and was completed in the third quarter, with initial occupancies beginning in July. Cardinal Bank of Tysons Corner, Virginia provided a $10.5 million construction loan for the project. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to a customary due diligence period, during which the purchaser is entitled to cancel the transaction. The Company anticipates approximately $6 million of cash proceeds will be available from the sale after repayment of debt and project specific equity financing.
  • Ongoing monetization of real estate assets - Comstock continues to monetize inventory units from its Eclipse and Penderbrook projects. Total units delivered in the third quarter of 2011 were 10. An additional 4 units were delivered during the month of October. There are 31 units remaining for sale at the Eclipse and 47 units remaining for sale at Penderbrook.

"The Washington, DC market continues to be one of the best real estate markets in the nation," said Christopher Clemente, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As demonstrated by the overall performance of the Potomac Square Apartment project, expanding our focus to include development of institutional grade investment properties is beginning to yield dividends. We will continue to focus our core operating capabilities on opportunities that have the best potential for driving earnings in the near term as we work to maximize shareholder value."
