Our estimated costs of assets for which we expect to be reimbursed by utility and improvement districts were $90,506,000 at first quarter-end 2015 and $65,212,000 at year-end 2014, including $47,075,000 at first quarter-end 2015 and $31,913,000 at year-end 2014 related to our Cibolo Canyons project near San Antonio, Texas. At first quarter-end 2015,$47,075,000 of reimbursable costs for the Cibolo Canyons project were related to submitted and approved reimbursements of $65,438,000 net of collections totaling $33,552,000 plus $15,189,000 of additional reimbursable costs we incurred which we plan to submit for approval from the district. At year-end 2014, $31,913,000 of reimbursable costs for the Cibolo Canyons project were related to costs of $65,465,000 that were submitted, net of collections totaling $33,552,000. These costs are principally for water, sewer and other infrastructure assets that we have incurred and submitted or will submit to utility or improvement districts for approval and reimbursement. We expect to be reimbursed by utility and improvement districts when these districts achieve adequate tax basis or otherwise have funds available to support payment. In first quarter 2015, our submitted reimbursements to these districts for all real estate projects excluding Cibolo Canyons project were $1,520,000 and we have collected and $4,130,000 in reimbursements that were previously submitted to these districts.
At first quarter-end 2015, commercial and income producing properties represents our investment of $78,566,000 in multifamily development sites located in Austin, Charlotte, Dallas and Nashville, $52,742,000 investment in a 257-unit multifamily project in Austin, $32,505,000 investment in a 413 guest room hotel in Austin and $406,000 investment in a golf course and a country club property located near Fort Worth.
