Walton International Group's Strategic Relationships with Public-Listed Homebuilders in the U.S. Benefit Investors

- Asian Investors To Reap Returns on 2 Exits
SINGAPORE - 17 June 2020 - The Walton Group of Companies ("Walton") continues to implement its strategy of accelerating exit activity for the benefit of its investors, and investors are now seeing the results.

Walton's strategy allows a homebuilder to acquire land in phases with the bulk of land payments deferred to the timing of home sales.  In return, the homebuilder will take on the entitlement and land development cost.  For Walton and its investors, they will see their investment cash flowing over the course of the development.

This strategy has resulted in two recent exit offers for its investors -- Poplin Heights, a residential use property in Union County, North Carolina and Anderson, a residential mixed-use property in Hays Country, Texas.  Both projects are in the U.S.A. and both offers have been approved by the underlying landowners. 

Poplin Heights
A large national homebuilder in the United States has executed an option to purchase the entire Poplin Heights property in Union County, North Carolina, in a phase-by-phase take-down structure with deferred payment terms.  The offer was negotiated by Walton in an effort to maximise revenues for its investors.  Walton performed and obtained the entitlement approvals resulting in the current zoning of the property.  The plot consists of 94.16 acres of land (owned by the investors) which is planned for development into 247 residential lots.

The approved offer terms are expected to generate a return of 1.3x to the Walton investors in the form of cash flow as the homebuilder builds and sells homes. The homebuilder expects to make their first closing and break ground in 2021 with home sales projected to begin in 2022.

Anderson
The same homebuilder has also executed an option to purchase 78.04 acres of land slated for residential development of up to 450 lots within the 82.24 acre Anderson property in Hays County, Texas. Walton will continue to undertake limited entitlement activities to support the homebuilder's development plans for the property. (*).
