In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company sold 487 homesites for a gross purchase price of $115 million. Together with the sales completed since Q4 2019, the first phase will include 1,268 homesites in 18 neighborhoods, with homes ranging from 775 to 3,680 square feet in size that will serve a diverse pool of buyers. The builders in the first phase of Valencia are KB Home, Lennar, Richmond American, Toll Brothers and TRI Pointe Group.

“We are very excited to welcome our builder partners to Valencia. The enthusiasm from the builders validates our vision and together we will build yet another nationally celebrated community,” said Emile Haddad, Chairman and CEO of Five Point.

The long anticipated community will be the largest provider of new homes in Los Angeles County, with plans for approximately 21,000 homes, 11.5 million square feet of commercial space, and 10,000 acres of open space. The first village includes 1.5 million square feet of this planned commercial space, which the Company intends to develop. The space in this phase is expected to target healthcare providers, life science companies and life-style focused uses.

Haddad added, “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the County of Los Angeles. This partnership is now bringing forward a community that will be a model of balance between social equity and environmental justice.
