Builder Hovnanian Enterprises (HOV) announced a home-building
joint venture with GTIS Partners Wednesday, giving cash-strapped
Hovnanian access to more land.
The partnership plans to design, sell, and deliver homes on
about 400 lots in two communities in California and one in
Virginia, the companies said in a release.
About $75 million of capital will be invested in the joint
venture, with Hovnanian contributing 26% and GTIS Partners covering
the remainder. New Jersey-based Hovnanian will manage the
day-to-day operations.
The project's total home sales could top $250 million, the
companies said.
If unspecified financial targets are met, Hovnanian "will
receive a promoted share of the cash returns from the venture," the
companies said. No further details were provided.
Similar deals could be in the works. "We are optimistic that we
will be able to successfully execute additional partnerships in the
future for similar large bulk purchases," Hovnanian Chief Executive
Ara Hovnanian said.
Shares of Hovnanian were recently down 4.8% at $4.15.
