LIG Assets, Inc. Announces Closing of a $3.7 Million Funding Agreement from Tioga Capital for Bella Serra Development


Nashville, TN, July 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- LIG Assets, Inc. (OTC PINK: LIGA) (also known as the "Leader in Green Assets" or "LIGA") today announced it has closed on a funding agreement for $3.7 million from Tioga Capital for its “Bella Serra” Development in Brentwood, TN. The funding is non-dilutive thanks to the substantial market value of the property. 

LIG Assets President, Marvin Baker, stated, “We reviewed multiple offers and believe that Tioga Capital provides us the best opportunity to complete our infrastructure development allowing us to build another level of exceptional value in the property.” 

LIG Assets CFO, Douglas Vaughn, stated, “This funding is the final hurdle to begin the ‘Bella Serra’ development. Significantly, the $3.7MM is more than enough to develop the land all the way to the individual pads. At that point LIG Assets will have multiple options for financing and building the homes. The profits from lot sales alone should be in excess of $10MM dollars, and given the strength of the Nashville Metro market, the lots should sell very quickly. Closing this funding marks an inflection point in LIG Assets’ future and should lead to additional projects as the land development progresses.” 

Paxton Griffin, a Principal in Tioga Capital, stated, “Tioga Capital is pleased to be providing this round of financing for the LIG Assets ‘Bella Serra’ Development. As a substantial real estate investor throughout the South East, Tioga sees numerous deals and we feel that the ‘Bella Serra’ Development has extraordinary potential. We look forward to building a long-term relationship with LIG Assets as they build their real estate development portfolio.” 

After the recent re-zoning of the property, LIG Assets is ready to proceed with its grading permit applications and infrastructure construction. The latest site plan for “Bella Serra” Brentwood includes 155 residential units total with 43 Luxury single-family homes and 28 multi-family units consisting of 4 “Lifestyle Condos” per unit.  The project, once fully developed, will generate significant revenue with preliminary revenue projections of approximately $80MM in gross home sales. 

LIG Assets has met with several major homebuilders who have expressed strong interest in buying completed lots with discussions including forward sale contract opportunities. With this funding LIG will be able to build more value in the property substantially increasing equity basis for the company by completing the infrastructure construction.
