PLAN OF OPERATION
Building on a history of over 1,500 new homes built and over 400
elevation/renovation/addition projects since 1993, the management of Dream Homes
& Development Corporation has positioned the company to emerge as a rapidly
growing regional developer of new single-family subdivisions as well as a leader
in coastal new home and modular construction, elevation and mitigation. Since
Superstorm Sandy flooded 40,000 owner-occupied homes, Dream Homes has helped
hundreds of homeowners to build new homes or raise their homes to comply with
new FEMA requirements. While other 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 builders have struggled to adapt to the
changing market and complex Federal, State and local regulations" 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.
Dream Homes and Development Corporation 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
December 31, 2020 is $6,024,890.
In addition to the above projects, which are in process, the Company has also
estimated an additional $5,800,000 worth of residential construction projects
and added over 200 active prospects to its data base. All of these prospects are
prime candidates for educational videos and short books on specific construction
and rebuilding topics, as well as candidates for rebuilding and new home
projects.
20
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 on the order of an
additional 400 - 800 lots and/or residential units to be developed and built
within an approximate time horizon of 5 years. Conceivably, this volume of
production could yield $120,000,000 - $240,000,000 in gross revenue and
$25,000,000 - $50,000,000 in earnings to the Company.
On October 20, 2018, the Company acquired a significant portion of the assets of
Premier Modular Homes, located in Little Egg Harbor, NJ. This company has a
23-year track record serving southern Ocean County, with a concentration on Long
Beach Island. These acquired assets include physical as well as intellectual
property, such as phone numbers, web site, use of the Premier Modular Home name,
equipment, vehicles and trailers.
The Company also leased the physical premises, including office, showroom,
garage and yard space.
The Company opened an office in Brielle in April of 2020, and it has enabled the
Company to more effectively serve the northern Ocean, Monmouth and Middlesex
County markets, as well as to increase market share in the beach communities in
the modular and stick built home markets.
With this latest acquisition of Premier Modular and the Company's main office
location in Forked River, the Company has positioned itself to well serve a
significant portion of the entire coastal region, from southern Ocean County
north to Middlesex County.
Properties currently under contract to purchase and in the development stage
Berkeley Terrace - Bayville, NJ - 70 approved townhome units
A contract was signed in October of 2019 to acquire 70 townhouse lots in Ocean
County, NJ. This property is approved and unimproved. The project is slated to
begin in the spring of 2021 and has a retail value of $17 million. It is
anticipated that this property will close in spring of 2021 and site work and
construction will begin immediately. The Company is in discussion with several
lenders to arrange an acquisition, development and construction finance
facility. Sales will accrete to 2021, 2022 & 2023 income. Funding for land only
has been secured.
Lacey Township, New Jersey, "Dream Homes at the Pines", Contract
Dream Homes is in contract and under development for 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. The acquisition of the contract was made for common
stock and occurred in the 4th quarter of 2016. This property is currently in the
approval process. This development project is scheduled to begin in 2021 and is
projected to add approximately $17,000,000 to the Company's gross sales.
21
The Company has received preliminary CAFRA approval for the 68-unit townhouse
development. A planning board hearing for preliminary and final site plan and
subdivision approval occurred on December 11, 2017, which produced input and
comments from the Planning Board as well as surrounding homeowners. Currently,
the property has been determined to be in an area designated as a CAFRA Town
Center property, which has enabled greater density. Application is currently
being made before the planning board for preliminary and final approval and it
is scheduled to be heard for preliminary and final approval on April 19th of
2021.
As of February 26, 2021, financing has been secured to purchase the land upon
municipal approvals being granted.
Dream Homes Apartments
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. Progress has been
delayed due to township closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
On February 26, 2021, the Company took title to the property via an assemblage
of 3 parcels.
Louis Avenue - Bayville, NJ - Property being developed
On May 11, 2018, the Company received back a signed letter of intent to purchase
2.3 acres of property in Berkeley Township, NJ. The Company is currently in
contract to purchase the property. The property was previously approved for 12
duplex residential units. A contract has been signed on this property and the
Company is currently in the development and approval stages. The proposed
development will yield 17 townhomes. This application heard before the planning
board on August 6 of 2020, The planning board awarded preliminary approvals for
17 townhome units on October 3, 2020.
Autumn Run - Gloucester County
On December 7, 2018, the Company signed a contract to purchase a property in
Gloucester County, NJ, which will be approved for +/- 63 units of age-restricted
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. Further action before the planning board is pending due to delays
caused by township closures due to Covid-19. The Company had a virtual workshop
meeting on September 15, 2020 and an additional virtual meeting on November 17,
2020.
Application is being made currently for preliminary site plan approval and
should be heard in May or June of 2021.
Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, "Dream Homes at Radio Road", Contract
On March 14, 2018, the Company signed a contract to purchase 4 improved lots (1
lot has been sold) in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ (the "Dream Homes at Radio
Road") for a total of $260,000. The Contract between the Company and the seller
of the land provides for a $65,000 per lot purchase price with closing occurring
on a rolling basis, as each house is built and sold. The Company intends to
begin construction as buyer's are secured and the homes are projected to sell in
the $350,000 - $375,000 range.
Properties in discussion with signed letters of intent, not in contract
Discussions have been occurring since December of 2017 and a signed letter of
intent has been offered to acquire property to develop 102 townhome units in
southern Ocean County, NJ. This property was originally in contract and under
development by the Company's management team during the 2006-2009 period, at
which time the project was not finalized due to the financial crisis of 2009. As
such, a large amount of engineering, environmental, traffic and architectural
work has been completed. It is Management's opinion that this property is moving
forward to contract. This property is not fully approved and is unimproved. The
project is slated to begin in late summer of 2021 and has a retail value of $23
million.
These new developments with signed letters of intent, as well as the four
developments that are under contract and in development represent over $108
million in 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
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.
22
Properties on hold due to delay in approvals, environmental concerns or other
reasons
Berkeley Township, New Jersey, "Dream Homes at Tallwoods", Contract
On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired from DHL rights to a contract to purchase
over 7 acres of land in Berkeley Township, NJ (the "Tallwoods Contract or Dream
Homes at Tallwoods") for 71,429 restricted shares of Company common stock
(issued in April 2017).
Since the transaction had not occurred for at least a portion of the Property
within 12 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period, as well as two
6-month extensions, the seller chose to terminate the contract. Though the
Company retained the right to waive any remaining development contingencies and
proceed to close on the property, it was determined by senior management that
the risk of acquiring an unapproved property was not acceptable.
Glassboro Township, New Jersey - Robin's Nest Solar Farm
On May 17, 2018, the Company submitted a signed contract to purchase a 700 KW
property to be developed as a solar farm in Glassboro, NJ. The purchase price is
$700,000 and the contract is subject to obtaining funding for the solar array as
well as a portion of the purchase price. There is also a PPA (power production
agreement) in place with a nursing home adjacent to the property, to purchase
the entire electrical output for the next 20 years. This property is still
available and is on hold pending funding availability.
These new developments with signed letters of intent, as well as the four
developments that we have under contract and in development represent over $108
million in new home construction projects in the near future. This work will
occur over the next 3-4 years and is in addition to the 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. Our new Modular Design Center in Little
Egg Harbor has also led to an increase in modular traffic and sales, as well as
facilitated and increased client selections throughout our entire region.
For the 4th year in a row, the Company was again awarded the Ocean County
Reader's Choice Best of the Best for 2020 in two categories (Best Custom Modular
Builder and Best Home Improvement Contractor), which caused significant new
awareness and interest from the public. This has led to increased 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,
which is becoming increasingly well known to homeowners in need of new custom
modular and site-built homes, elevation & renovation work. The management team
has never failed to complete a project in over 24 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. The Company has enjoyed steady growth in the
renovation/elevation portion of the company and anticipates that by year end
2018 each part of the company (new homes and elevation work) will represent 50%
of total revenue. By mid-year 2019, new home construction and development should
represent over 70% of revenue.
23
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.
Additionally, the Company has developed referral networks with 3 major modular
manufacturing companies, from which a dependable and steady stream of leads and
prospects has been received over the last 6-month period. Based on these
associations, as well as the recent acquisition of the Premier Modular Homes
assets and location, it is anticipated that the Custom Modular segment of the
business will enjoy significant growth for the foreseeable future.
Since modular home manufacturers will not sell directly to the public, and will
only sell to a licensed builder, manufacturers need dependable new home builders
to refer their leads. The Company has proven itself to be a valuable trade
partner for these 3 manufacturers and has received numerous prospects and leads,
some of which have already turned into contracts.
24
The Company has also recently developed and offered to the market, a modular
Add-A-Level in A Day product, which offers a very rapid alternative to
traditional renovation and elevation projects. It is anticipated that this
product can be scaled easily and offered in a much more diverse market area, due
to the limited duration of this type of project.
Among the Company's other assets that are currently held, are the rights to
operate the educational construction seminar known as "Dream Homes Nearly Famous
Rebuilding Seminar", as well as the informational blog known as the "Dream Homes
Rebuilding Blog."
The Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar is held bi-monthly, and is a powerful
educational tool for homeowners who need of rebuilding or renovations. This
seminar has been presented steadily since early 2013, and is designed to educate
and assist homeowners in deciphering the confusion about planning and executing
complex residential construction projects.
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.
