Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
(a) On February 28, 2005, Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), through Comstock Countryside, L.C., a Virginia limited liability company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”), completed a $16 million real estate purchase transaction. The transaction was undertaken pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase Contract (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Subsidiary (as Purchaser) and Westwick Apartments LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (as Seller), to purchase the property commonly known as the Villas at Countryside (the “Villas at Countryside”), located in the Town of Sterling, Loudon County, Virginia.
The Villas at Countryside is currently a 102 unit apartment complex consisting of one to three bedroom apartments. The Company plans to convert the apartment units to condominium units and sell those converted and upgraded units. The Purchase Agreement provided for the payment in full of the $16 million purchase price on the closing date. The Company, through the Subsidiary, paid the entire purchase price on February 28, 2005.
(b) On March 3, 2005, the Company executed a Services Agreement, dated March 3, 2005 but effective as of October 1, 2004 (the “Services Agreement”), with Comstock Asset Management, L.C., a Virginia limited liability company (“CAM”). CAM is a related party entity that is wholly-owned by Christopher Clemente, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company will provide CAM a number of management and property development services as a subcontractor and consultant to CAM in connection with the development of properties at the Loudon Station project, located in Loudoun County, Virginia. The Company will be paid a monthly management fee of $20,000 by CAM. Furthermore, when the Company assigns a full time on-site superintendent, the Company will receive an additional project superintendent fee from CAM. As additional consideration, CAM has agreed to give the Company a right of first refusal on CAM’s rights to purchase any portion of the Loudon Station properties designated for residential real estate development. The Services Agreement shall remain in effect for five years from its effective date, unless the project is earlier completed or the Services Agreement is earlier terminated.
