Pure Cycle Corporation Announces First Closing in the 2nd Development Phase of Sky Ranch

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2021 / Pure Cycle Corporation (NASDAQ:PCYO) is excited to announce that it has closed on the sale of 152 platted lots at its master planned community Sky Ranch. This represents the first closing of lots in the next development phase of Sky Ranch.

The second phase of development at Sky Ranch totals 804 lots, all of which are contracted with homebuilders. This phase is divided into four subphases for development and accounting purposes, and this closing is only on the first of those subphases. Additionally, this closing was with three of the four builders as the fourth builder is on a finished lot contract, meaning closing those 67 lots will occur when the lots are ready for construction, anticipated to be in the late second or early third quarter of our fiscal 2022.

As consideration for this closing the three builders made their first milestone payments totaling $3.6 million. The next two milestone payments, which are due at completion of wet utilities and completion of the lots, are expected to occur over the next several months and could include price escalators per the sale contracts.

"Our lot development agreements provide efficient use of capital for both Pure Cycle and our homebuilder partners to pay for the investments to improving lots on a real-time basis. It allows Pure Cycle the ability to deliver lots efficiently at affordable prices and provides our homebuilder partners assurances they have tangible deliveries with each milestone payment," commented Mark Harding, President of Pure Cycle. "Sky Ranch continues to thrive, delivering a much needed and valuable product to this quickly growing area. Pure Cycle's contractors have been onsite since February working diligently to finish model home lots before the end of the calendar year in time for opening our second phase early next year" concluded Mr. Harding.
