Chairman and CEO, Christopher Clemente commented, "During the 2nd quarter we accomplished several important strategic initiatives, including our exit from the for-sale homebuilding, which will be deconsolidated from our financial statements commencing with Q3-2019, increasing revenues on multiple fronts, enhancing revenue opportunities through the update of our anchor Asset Management Agreement, launching our commercial property management division and advancing development and leasing on our ~7 million square foot mixed-use and transit-oriented anchor portfolio. The benefits of transforming our company from our previous focus on for-sale housing to commercial real estate development, asset management and real estate related services in one of the most active real estate corridors in one of the most important markets in the nation are beginning to be apparent with the results reported for this quarter. Our management team is committed to delivering results that demonstrate the value of Comstock’s transformed operating platform and to driving results that will enhance shareholder value. I look forward to reporting on additional progress in future periods.”
