Harbor Custom Development, Inc. Acquires 31 Acres for $4,750,000 in Austin Metro Housing Market
Gig Harbor, Washington, July 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Harbor Custom Development, Inc. (“Harbor,” “Harbor Custom Homes®,” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ:HCDI), an innovative and market leading real estate company involved in all aspects of the land development cycle, today announced that it has acquired 31 acres of commercial property for $4,750,000 in West Horseshoe Bay, Texas, located approximately 53 miles from Austin.
The acquisition includes a 2,800 square foot office building that Harbor Custom Homes is utilizing for its design, marketing, and sales center serving the Austin metro market. The Company successfully rezoned 28 acres of the property from commercial to residential use in June leaving a 1.5 acre area for a potential bank or other commercial user that would benefit future homeowners. Harbor plans to provide a variety of single family product ranging from 1,800 to 2,400 square foot cottages and villas to 4,000 to 5,000 square foot creek side homes on estate lots. Home buyers in the development will have the opportunity for membership at the Horseshoe Bay Resort (clubhsbresort.com) providing access to resort facilities including three golf courses, multiple clubhouses, a yacht club, lake facilities, and access to a private jet center with a 6,000-foot lighted runway. Horseshoe Bay has seen rapid growth because of Austin’s expanding employment base and the subsequent migration of households to the Lake and Hill Country regions.
“We are excited to acquire this unique property which provides Harbor Custom Homes a centralized office and sales center for the region. Austin’s rapid growth combined with decreasing inventory in the bedroom, rural, and destination resort communities like Horseshoe Bay provide a great opportunity for our company,” stated Sterling Griffin, President and CEO of Harbor Custom Homes.
