We appreciate you tuning-in for a moment with us at this unprecedented time and hope everyone is safe at home enjoying the extra time with loved ones. We are incredibly thankful that all of our job sites are under construction and have not been stopped due to the current pandemic. Our construction crews have implemented extensive safety precautions, and we have continued to sell units on our completed projects by utilizing virtual home buying.
