Additional details on each investment are as follows: Investors X In April 2019, the Company entered into a master transfer agreement with CP Real Estate Services, LC (“CPRES”), an entity owned by Mr. Clemente, which entitled the Company to priority distribution of residual cash flow from its Class B membership interest in Comstock Investors X, L.C. ("Investors X"), an unconsolidated variable interest entity that owns the Company's residual homebuilding operations. As of December 31, 2024, all residential lots have been sold. The proceeds from the lot sales will be distributed to the Company as remaining land development work associated with these projects is completed. (See Note 13 for additional information).

In February 2020, the Company arranged for DivcoWest to purchase a majority ownership stake in The Hartford Building and secured a $87.0 million loan facility from MetLife. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into asset management and property management agreements to manage the property in exchange for market-rate fees, for which it recognized $1.0 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. Fair value of the property is determined on a quarterly basis using an income approach model. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s ownership interest in The Hartford was 2.5%.

In connection with the transaction, the Company received an acquisition fee and is entitled to receive investment-related income and promote distributions in connection with its equity interest in the asset.

In November 2024, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement for Comstock 41 with SCG Development Holdings, LLC ("SCG") that is contingent upon the successful rezoning of the property to allow for the development of an affordable housing project at the site. Upon closing, the Company will enter into an operating agreement and a development agreement with SCG, under which the Company will provide construction management services for the affordable housing project that will be fully financed by SCG. The Company will also be entitled to provide property management services once the development is ready for occupancy. Other Investments In addition, the Company has a joint venture with Superior Title Services, Inc. ("STS") to provide title insurance to its clients. The Company records this co-investment using the equity method of accounting and adjusts the carrying value of the investment for its proportionate share of net income and distributions. The carrying value of the STS investment is recorded in "other assets" on the Company's consolidated statement of balance sheets. The Company's proportionate share of net income and distributions are recorded in gain (loss) on real estate ventures in the consolidated statements of operations and was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
