On March 17, 2026, Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (the "Company") announced its acquisition of a 417-unit apartment building located at 15955 Frederick Road in Rockville, Maryland, for approximately $4.5 million. This acquisition is part of a strategic joint venture with a Benefit Street Partners-advised institutional fund, which aims to enhance Comstock's footprint in the Rockville submarket. The property, known as The Reed, is situated adjacent to the Shady Grove Metro Station, providing residents with convenient access to public transportation and local amenities.

The acquisition was executed through a purchase and sale agreement dated September 16, 2025, and marks a significant addition to Comstock's portfolio, which now includes over 900 apartment units across three transit-oriented multifamily properties in the area. The Company will manage the property through its wholly owned subsidiaries, CHCI Asset Management, LC, CHCI Residential Management, LC, and ParkX Management, LC, ensuring high-quality property management services.

As part of the deal, Comstock received an acquisition fee of $0.5 million and is entitled to additional incentive fees based on the performance of the investment. The joint venture structure allows Comstock to leverage its operational expertise while partnering with established institutional investors, thereby enhancing its capital deployment capabilities.

The Reed offers a range of apartment layouts, from one-bedroom to three-bedroom units, each designed to meet the needs of modern residents. The property features amenities such as a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center, and outdoor gathering spaces, which are expected to attract a diverse tenant base.

This acquisition aligns with Comstock's strategy to expand its institutional venture platform and capitalize on the growing demand for multifamily housing in the Washington, D.C. region. The Company’s leadership, under Chairman and CEO Christopher Clemente, expressed confidence in the investment, highlighting the potential for value creation through effective asset management and operational execution. Comstock's ability to secure favorable financing terms and its established reputation as a best-in-class operator further bolster the positive outlook for this investment.
