DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Sept. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE American: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced that the potential buyer of approximately 1,600 acres of the Company’s land for approximately $27 million has terminated its contract with the Company to acquire the land (the “Terminated Contract”). The 1,600-acre parcel is zoned and entitled for the development of 3,250 residential units and 200,000 square feet of commercial space, which the Company expects is the highest and best use of this large tract of undeveloped land.  The 1,600-acre parcel is directly adjacent to the successful active adult master-planned community, Latitude Margaritaville.

Mr. John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “While we’re disappointed that the buyer, a Florida-based developer, elected to not continue to pursue the closing on this parcel we remain optimistic that there will be additional interest from builders and developers as the housing market in Volusia County remains strong.”
