NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SG Blocks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“SG Blocks” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures, announced today that SGB Development Corp. (“SGB DevCorp”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has shifted strategy regarding the 58-acre parcel outside of the greater Austin area known as ‘Lago Vista’.
The real estate asset was acquired at approximately $3.5 million in Q2 of 2021. The land has substantially increased in value. The Company believes taking this parcel to market to take profits upfront on the opportunity is in the best interest for shareholders.
“Listing Lago Vista for sale was an easy decision given the state of the real estate market in the Austin area,” Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO of SG Blocks noted. “Our gem on Lake Travis on the Colorado River has continued to rapidly rise in value and leaves us with a unique opportunity. There is a scarcity of lakefront sites of any size and Austin is a red-hot market.”
“The Lago Vista PDD is already approved. The lack of other lakefront development sites naturally increases the value of the Lago Vista site and approved plan,” Paul Galvin explained. “The ability to quickly put a shovel into the ground for this property makes it appealing to potential buyers.”
The Company intends to share more information on future plans involving the expected proceeds at a later time.
