Pure
Cycle Corporation Announces
Release
of Due Diligence on
Agreements
for Sale of Lots at Sky Ranch
Denver,
Colorado – November 15, 2017 – Pure Cycle Corporation
(NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) (“Pure Cycle” or the
“Company”) announced today that each of the home
builders with whom the Company has agreements to sell the first
phase of its Sky Ranch project has agreed to terminate its due
diligence period.
The
Company entered into agreements with Richmond American Homes, KB
Home and Taylor Morrison for the sale of all 506 single family lots
in the Company’s first phase of Sky Ranch. The agreements
provided for a due diligence investigation period during which each
home builder had the right to terminate its agreement and receive a
refund of its earnest money deposit. Each builder has now completed
its due diligence period and is now bound by its agreement to
proceed with the purchase of finished lots, subject to Pure
Cycle’s performance of its obligations under the respective
agreements and the specific terms and provisions of each of the
respective agreements. The Company has been finalizing designs for
the community, including the final platted lots, roadways, open
space, drainage, water and wastewater systems, and has submitted it
construction drawings for the first approximately 200 lots to local
authorities for comment and review.
“We are
excited to be working with this distinguished group of national
home builders, who are as committed to the success of Sky Ranch as
we are,” commented Mark Harding, President and CEO. “We
have been diligently working to complete the engineering and
construction documents for our initial phase and have been working
with our local governmental agencies to complete their review. Once
approved, we will solicit bids for construction of an initial 200
lots,” continued Mr. Harding. “In addition to our
activities at Sky Ranch, we welcome continued oil and gas drilling
activity in our area. We have multiple operators drilling wells
this year, which has translated into increased water demand from
our industrial customers this calendar year. Our board, management,
and dedicated employees are anxious to begin development at Sky
Ranch and look forward to this exciting time for our Company”
commented Mr. Harding.
