CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westphalia Dev. Corp. (the “Corporation”) announced today its results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. Launched in March 2012, the Corporation acquired for development the 310-acre Westphalia Property (the “Property or the “Project”) located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, United States.
Review of Operations
The Corporation continues to actively seek purchasers and developers for the remaining lands associated with Phases 2 and 3 as well as other more immediate opportunities associated with the Phase 1 retail lands. The key activities undertaken by the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2021, were as follows:
Construction Activities
- Continued construction on the Woodyard Road Interchange project. Construction is on schedule and expected to be completed in September 2022.
- The Presidential Parkway East project is substantially complete pending paving of the final top coat; final surveys are being prepared.
- Continued construction on the Presidential Parkway West project, which is expected to be completed by Q3 2022.
Sales Activities & Financing
- The Corporation amended the purchase and sale agreement to increase the purchase price for the commercial/industrial land in Phases 2 and 3 of the Project.
- A purchase and sale agreement expired in accordance with its terms on the residential for sale sites. The Corporation is in discussions with the same buyer regarding a potential alternative agreement pursuant to which that buyer would purchase fully engineered fee simple lots in lieu of raw land for condominium development. The Corporation will also take this out to market and discuss the opportunity with other builders.
The single-family market in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan statistical area, and specifically in the Prince George’s County submarket, continues to show strength which has led to increased builders’ interest in purchasing raw land for the development and construction of their own lots.
Management continues to focus on strategies to maximize the returns of the Project, which include, but are not limited to:
- Subsequent to year end, on April 1, 2022, the Corporation renegotiated its senior debt with its existing lender, WWMN, LLC. The Corporation has also begun reaching out to a third-party bank for an additional short-term loan.
- The Corporation is working to advance the planning of its current Phase 1 retail lands which are being considered on a for sale basis or a vertical joint venture basis. There are three sites in which a vertical strategy is being pursued to work with national or regional retail commercial and senior living builders. The Corporation is evaluating options for consultants to be engaged for this strategy and is seeking partners to build and lease out the two commercial sites and the senior living site.
- The Corporation continues to work with the local community, County leadership, and internal staff to re-plan additional development within the Westphalia Town Center. The Corporation also continues to work with the various consultants to implement a shift in the project’s scope after having received input from those detailed above.
