PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
Building on a history of over 1,600 new homes built, and over 400
elevation/renovations, the management of Dream Homes & Development Corporation
has positioned the company to emerge as a rapidly growing regional developer of
new single-family homes & subdivisions as well as a leader in coastal
construction, elevation and mitigation.
The Company has been focusing recently on new single-family homes along the
shore of New Jersey, both modular and site-built construction. DHDC is also
working on development of new subdivisions in both Ocean and Gloucester
counties.
In the years that have passed since Superstorm Sandy flooded over 30,000
owner-occupied homes, Dream Homes has helped hundreds of homeowners to rebuild
or raise their homes to comply with new FEMA requirements. While other builders
have struggled to adapt to the changing market and complex Federal, State and
local regulations involved with coastal construction in Flood Hazard Areas,
Dream Homes has excelled. As many of our competitors have failed, Dream Homes
has developed a reputation as the region's most trusted builder and has even
become known as the "rescue" builder for homeowners whose projects have been
abandoned by others. Due to the damage caused by the storm, as well as the
material changes in the FEMA flood maps which now require over 30,000 homeowners
along the New Jersey coastline to elevate their homes, Dream Homes is positioned
to capitalize on this opportunity for substantial revenue growth.
Management recognized that the effects of Super Storm Sandy, which occurred on
10/29/12, would be far reaching and cause an almost unlimited demand for
construction services, as well as specific construction information. Due to the
damage caused by the storm, as well as the material changes in the FEMA flood
maps which now require over 30,000 homeowners along the New Jersey coastline to
elevate their homes, management feels that focusing on the construction field
will continue to provide a stable revenue stream for the company.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company signed a lease for an office in
Brielle, NJ, which will better serve the Company's growing Monmouth county
market.
Dream Homes and Development Corporation, through its subsidiaries and affiliate
companies, continues to pursue opportunities in the real estate field,
specifically in new home construction, home elevations and renovations. The
amount of these projects currently under contract as of September 30, 2021 is
$8,013,003.
In addition to the above projects, which are in process, the Company has also
estimated an additional $9,500,000 worth of residential construction projects
and added over 200 active prospects to its data base. All these prospects are
prime candidates for educational videos and short books on specific construction
and rebuilding topics, as well as candidates for rebuilding projects.
In addition to the projects which the Company currently has under contract for
elevation, renovation, new construction and development, there are a number of
parcels of land which the Company has the ability to secure, whether through
land contract or other types of options. These parcels represent additional
opportunities for development and construction potential.

Properties Currently Owned
Berkeley Terrace - Bayville, NJ - 70 approved townhome units
A contract was signed to acquire 70 approved townhome units in October 2019,
after 31 months of discussion. This property is scheduled to close in mid to
late June 2021, at which time site improvements will commence. Sales will
accrete to 2022 & 2023 income. The Company has secured a bridge loan and is
awaiting a commitment with a permanent lender for an acquisition, development
and construction finance facility. Funding for land only has been secured at
this time.
The closing to acquire this property occurred on June 29, 2021.
The Company is working on planning the highest and best uses for, and funding
facilities for the property, and start a marketing program.
Lacey Township, New Jersey, "Dream Homes at the Pines"
Dream Homes is in title with a parcel which will yield 68 new townhomes in the
Ocean County NJ area, of which 54 are market rate and 14 are affordable housing.
This property is currently in the final approval process. This development
project is scheduled to begin in mid 2022.
All costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals,
acquire the land, install the infrastructure and prepare the property to
commence construction are the Company's responsibility.
The initial planning board meeting was held on December 11, 2017. Additional
information was requested from the board and the next meeting was heard for
preliminary and final approval on April 19th of 2021. Preliminary approval was
granted.
It is anticipated that complete development approvals will cost approximately
$20,000 more to complete. In addition to these approval costs and acquisition
costs, infrastructure costs are anticipated to cost approximately $1,000,000.
The total amount of funding required to make this property ready for home
construction is approximately $1,000,000.
The Company may need to seek loans from banks to finance this project. As part
of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to
personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor
and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those
guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact
amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the
present time.
The closing to acquire this property occurred on June 29, 2021 and the Company
is currently in title.
Dream Homes Apartments - Fairview
On May 3, 2018, the Company submitted a signed letter of intent to purchase 5.5
acres of property in Gloucester County, which is currently being approved for a
112-unit apartment complex, with 8000 square feet of retail space. The Company
has a signed contract and has been proceeding with development approvals. The
property is designated as a redevelopment property, and a redevelopment
agreement is currently being negotiated with the township.
On February 26, 2021, the closing to acquire this property occurred via an
assemblage of 3 parcels.
As of this date, a redevelopment ordinance has been read and approved by the
township committee.
Louis Avenue - Bayville, NJ - In title
In October of 2018, the company entered into a contract to develop and acquire
17 townhouse lots in Bayville NJ. Engineering and approvals are currently in
process. Application was made to the Planning Board on March 20, 2020.
The Company was heard before the Berkeley Township Planning Board on October 3,
2020 and the planning board awarded preliminary approvals for 17 townhome units.
Application is currently being made for final approvals, and the Company should
be heard at the February 2022 planning board meeting.
The Company acquired this property on August 4, 2021.
5
Properties Under Contract to Purchase and in the Approval Stage
Autumn Run - Gloucester County
On December 7, 2018, the Company signed a contract to purchase a property in
Gloucester County, NJ, which should be approved for +/- 63 units of
age-restricted manufactured housing. The property is currently in the approval
stage. An application was made to the DEP for a wetlands letter of
interpretation, which was approved as proposed. The Company had a virtual
workshop meeting on September 15, 2020 and an additional virtual meeting was
conducted on November 17, 2020.
The application for a use variance was heard on May 24, 2021 and the variance
was approved.
The Company is in the process of applying for preliminary and final site plan
approval and should be heard at the January 2022 zoning board meeting.
These four new developments that have recently been acquired as well as the one
that is in development represent a significant volume of new home construction
projects on the books in the next few years. This work will occur over the next
3-4 years and is in addition to the custom spot lot & elevation/renovation
division of the business. Management is very positive about these new
developments, as well as the cutting-edge construction technologies being
employed to create healthier, safer, more energy efficient homes.
Dream Homes has experienced solid growth in both the new home and elevation
divisions, as well as strong additions to our personnel infrastructure, which
are just now beginning to bear fruit.
The Company was awarded the Ocean County Best of the Best Awards for 2017, 2018,
2019 & 2020 in two categories (Best Custom Modular Builder and Best Home
Improvement Contractor), which has caused significant new awareness and interest
from the public. This has led to more showroom traffic, completed estimates and
signed contracts. Referrals about Dream Homes are also being generated from many
industry professionals, such as architects, engineers and attorneys, who've
either had clients with abandoned projects or simply want to retain Dream due to
superior performance and reliability.
The phrase 'The Region's Most Trusted Builder' accurately describes the company
and is becoming increasingly well known to homeowners in need of new homes,
elevation & renovation work. The management team has never failed to complete a
project in over 28 years in the industry.
The Company's business model over the last year has been focused on increasing
the new home and new development portion of our business, until it represents
50% - 70% of our entire revenue stream, from the current level of 20%. New home
development has a much greater scalability and growth potential than
elevation/renovation work. Though the Company has enjoyed steady growth in the
renovation/elevation portion of the company the new homes division continues to
represent a greater percentage of total revenue. By the end of 2021, new home
construction and development should represent over 70% of revenue.
Management hopes for steady growth in all segments of the company, since the
rebuilding process will occur over the next 15-20 years. The combined total
number of homes affected by Storm Sandy that will need to be raised or
demolished and rebuilt is in excess of 30,000 homes, of which less than 10,000
have been rebuilt. This remaining combined market for new construction and
elevation projects in the Company's market area is estimated to be in the range
of $3.4 billion dollars. The company anticipates being able to efficiently
address 5% - 10% of this market. Dream Homes' potential operations include the
development and sale of a variety of residential communities, including
construction of semi-custom homes, entry-level and first time move-up
single-family and multi-family homes.
Due to the opportunities afforded by the market conditions, Dream Homes and
Development Corporation will continue to pursue opportunities in the
construction and real estate field, specifically in new home construction, home
elevations and renovations.
