Safe and Green Development Corporation Year In Review: Property Monetization, Joint Venture Expansion, SFH Development and Institutional Investment

MIAMI, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Safe and Green Development Corporation (NASDAQ: SGD) ("SGD" or the "Company"), a real estate development company, is excited to share its 2024 Year In Review highlights, including the strategic sale of the St. Mary's property, the progress of the Sugar Phase I Development, the acquisition of additional single-family lots in South Texas and the closing of multiple construction loans.

A Message from CEO David Villarreal:

"We believe we have set the stage for rapid growth on a defined path throughout 2025 and beyond. We have executed contracts to strategically monetize several of our existing land holdings, which will eliminate high interest debt to allow us to pursue our growth strategy and focus on a more targeted footprint. We have a pipeline of approximately 250 single family home lots in the Rio Grande Valley and started construction on the first phase. 

Additionally, we are integrating our technology platform to increase margins on each home sold. The proprietary platform aims to simplify the homebuying experience for the consumer and integrates mortgage services and down payment assistance. This vertically integrated approach from development through home sales is designed to be a scalable and repeatable strategy that improves margins compared to traditional real estate development. While our initial developments will be in the Rio Grande Valley, we intend to apply this strategy across our parcels in Oklahoma and Georgia. Profitable asset sales, along with up to a $10M investment from Arena Global, an institutional investor, should allow us to pursue our growth strategy."

A Transformative Year for SGD

2024 has been a pivotal year for SGD, marked by significant achievements in asset monetization and pipeline expansion. Key accomplishments include:

• Strategic Real Estate Monetization – St. Mary's Property: On November 18, 2024, SGD executed its strategy of monetizing select real estate assets by selling its St. Mary's property in Georgia to Pigmental Studios for $1.4 million, generating approximately $1.1 million in net proceeds. This transaction allowed SGD to reduce its debt and reinvest in growth initiatives.
  
  
• Developing the first phase of homes in Company History: Construction is underway on the Sugar Phase I development in Texas, with the first six homes scheduled for completion and sale by Q1 2025. This initial phase is projected to generate $1.2 million in revenue for the joint venture, with at least 40 homes planned across various projects for delivery throughout 2025, potentially generating up to $8.0 million in revenue for the Company's joint ventures.
  
  
• Single Family Home Portfolio Expansion ~ Approximately 250 Lot Pipeline: SGD entered several new joint ventures to acquire approximately 250 single-family lots across several different cities in the Rio Grande Valley. The Company's pipeline in the region now includes Sugar Phases 1 & 2 as well as Hacienda Olivia Phases 2, 3 & 4.
  
  
• Arena Global: SGD secured an investment of potentially up to $10 million from Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, LTD  and regained compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement, bolstering its financial stability and operational momentum.
  
  
• Mortgage & DPA Partnerships: SGD inked partnerships with Trio Residential and Allied Services Group respectively to provide down payment assistance, lease-to-own and mortgage services to prospective buyers of SGD homes.
  
  
• Technology Integration: The Company completed its acquisition of Majestic World Holdings and is leveraging the technology to facilitate purchases of SGD homes via its proprietary portal: reav.homes

With a robust development pipeline, strategic partnerships, and disciplined financial management, SGD will be well-equipped to capitalize on growth opportunities in 2025. The Company is committed to advancing its mission of delivering sustainable and innovative housing solutions.
