Pope Resources Announces $3.3 Million Sale To Quadrant Homes

POULSBO, Wash., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pope Resources (Nasdaq:POPE) announced a $3.3 million sale to Quadrant Homes of 33 single-family lots located in the southern portion 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.

"With this sale, we have now closed on 208, or 38%, of our Harbor Hill project's 554 single-family lots and this has been accomplished in less than 17 months," said Tom Ringo, President and CEO. "We continue to be pleased with the merchant builder response to our project and, more importantly, the retail home-buyer interest in Harbor Hill reflects the broader health of the surrounding Pierce County residential market demand."
