Pope Resources Announces $4.8 Million Sale To Quadrant Homes

POULSBO, Wash., March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pope Resources (Nasdaq:POPE) announced a $4.8 million sale to Quadrant Homes of 33 single-family lots located at the northern end of the Partnership's Harbor Hill project in Gig Harbor, Washington. Harbor Hill is a mixed-use planned community consisting of residential, business park, and commercial properties.

"This is the first of several residential sales we expect to close this year in Harbor Hill," said Thomas M. Ringo, President and CEO. "Quadrant will be introducing its high-end home models on these lots, and we anticipate these products will be well-received by the Gig Harbor market. Home sales have been brisk in Harbor Hill of late, which should lead to continued strong lot sales to builders in the foreseeable future."
