Gig Harbor, Washington , Aug. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Harbor Custom Development, Inc. (“Harbor,” “Harbor Custom Homes®,” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ:HCDI, HCDIP, HCDIW), an innovative and market leading real estate company involved in all aspects of the land development cycle, today announced that it closed on a 40+ acre oceanfront parcel in Punta Gorda, Florida for $4,700,000 for the purpose of constructing 189 oceanfront condominium units.
Located approximately 24 miles from Fort Myers, Florida, at 115 N Marion Court in Punta Gorda, the oceanfront property provides Harbor Custom Homes® the opportunity to construct upscale waterfront condominiums in one of the strongest real estate markets in Southwest Florida. The population of the Cape Coral – Fort Myers metro area is approximately 790,000. The project consists of 189 one- and two-bedroom units that will range in size from approximately 1,400 to 1,750 square feet. It is anticipated that the condominiums will be priced from $500,000 to $650,000 and that the first units should be available for pre-sale in the fourth quarter of 2022. The site has immediate access to outdoor recreational activities and is adjacent to the Ponce De Leon Park (https://www.ci.punta-gorda.fl.us/visitors/ponce-de-leon-park). The Park’s amenities include a boat ramp, fishing piers, mangrove boardwalk, playground, open air chapel area, and picnic pavilion. The Park also has a sandy beach area that is popular for watching the sunset and the boats cruising in and out of the channel in Punta Gorda Isles’ canal system.
Sterling Griffin, President and CEO of Harbor, stated, “Acquiring land in the Southwest Florida market has been a major objective for our company. The Punta Gorda purchase represents a major milestone for Harbor Custom Homes® and allows the Company to expand into one of the fastest growing regions in the country.”
