Current report
Leasing revenue increased $3.3 million, or 5.5%, to $63.6 million during 2025, as compared to $60.3 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional commercial property, multi-family and marina leases, partially offset by a decrease related to the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property, which was sold and ceased operating activities, and the sale of 24 townhomes in the Watersound Villas on the Fairway community in the current period. Leasing gross margin increased to 55.3% during 2025, as compared to 52.2% during 2024. The increase in leasing gross margin was primarily due to additional leases in the current period and the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property in September 2025, which operated with lower margins.

Throughout 2024, we continued to generate positive financial results. While macroeconomic factors such as inflation, elevated interest rates, higher insurance costs, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, financial institution disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, among other things, continued to produce economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment, demand across our segments remains strong. We believe this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of increased migration, which we attribute to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.
Current wording
While macroeconomic factors such as uncertainty over tariffs, inflation, elevated interest rates and higher insurance costs for consumers and overall consumer confidence, among other things, continued to produce economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment in many parts of the country, our segments continued to generate positive financial results throughout 2025. We believe this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of net migration, which we attribute to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.
Previous wording
Despite the strong demand across our segments, we also continue to feel the impact from the aforementioned macroeconomic factors. In addition, inflation, higher insurance costs and elevated interest rates, have increased operating costs and loan rates, as compared to recent years. While elevated interest rates have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, the impact has been offset by the net migration into our markets, limited housing supply relative to demand and the number of cash buyers. Market conditions have also not caused an increase in cancellation rates as homebuilders have continued to perform on their contractual obligations with us.

As of December 31, 2024, we had twenty different homebuilders within our residential communities. As of December 31, 2024, we had 1,074 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $102.0 million, plus residuals, at closing of the homesites over the next several years. By comparison, as of December 31, 2023, we had 1,486 residential homesites under contract, which were expected to result in revenue of approximately $132.5 million, plus residuals. The change in homesites under contract is due to homesite transactions during 2024 and the amount of remaining homesites in current phases of the residential communities. Homesite prices vary significantly by community and often sell in concentrated transactions that may impact period over period results. As of December 31, 2024, in addition to the 1,074 homesites under contract in other residential communities, our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 367 homes under contract, which together with the 1,074 homesites are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $328.9 million at closing of the homesites and homes.

By comparison, as of December 31, 2024, we had 1,074 residential homesites under contract, which were expected to result in revenue of approximately $102.0 million, plus residuals. The change in homesites under contract is due to homesite transactions during 2025, new contracts, including a long-term contract totaling approximately 650 undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community, and the amount of remaining homesites in current phases of the residential communities. Homesite prices vary significantly by community and often sell in concentrated transactions that may impact period over period results.

Revenue from our clubs increased $26.8 million, or 49.6%, during 2024, as compared to 2023. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to growth in membership dues and membership ancillary spend, as well as the new Camp Creek amenities which opened in April 2023 and Camp Creek Inn which opened in June 2023. As of December 31, 2024, Watersound Club had 3,476 members, compared with 3,317 members as of December 31, 2023, a net increase of 159 members. Our clubs gross margin was 44.6% during 2024, compared to 28.7% during 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to new assets being operational throughout the current period.
Current wording
Revenue from our clubs increased $10.7 million, or 13.2%, during 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to an increase in membership dues, membership ancillary spend, lodging related to the Camp Creek Inn, as well as The Third golf course, which opened in November 2024 and the renovated Shark’s Tooth clubhouse, which reopened in February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, Watersound Club had 3,594 members, compared with 3,476 members as of December 31, 2024, a net increase of 118 members. Our clubs gross margin was 42.2% during 2025, compared to 44.6% during 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to ongoing operating costs for The Third golf course and reopening and ongoing operating costs of the Shark’s Tooth clubhouse during the current period.
