Construction Activities

Construction in progress consists of the development of Windmill Farms and the costs associated with our ground-up development projects.

Windmill Farms is a collection of freshwater districts ("Districts") in Kaufman County Texas that is being developed into single family lots, multifamily properties and retail properties. In connection with the project, we develop the infrastructure in Windmill Farms in order for the land to appreciate and to sell land units (“lots”) to home builders for construction of single family homes. We receive reimbursement of the infrastructure costs ("District Receivables") through the issuance of municipal bonds by the Districts. As of March 31, 2025, we have $55,211 in District Receivables included in other assets (See Note 10 – Other Assets) and $47,361 of land lot development costs included in construction in progress.

We have entered into several development agreements with Pillar (See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions) to develop multifamily properties. Each of these development projects is being funded in part by a construction loan (See Note 11 – Mortgages and Other Notes Payable). The following is a summary of construction costs incurred as of March 31, 2025:
