The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unconsolidated investments in real estate ventures that are reported at fair value (in thousands):
Oklahoma JV In June 2026, the Company finalized the formation of a joint venture with Jericho Energy Ventures, Inc. (TSXV: JEV) ("Jericho"), a Canada-based diversified energy company, with which the Company is partnering to facilitate the development of large-scale data center campuses in Oklahoma's Pawnee and Noble counties (the "Oklahoma JV"). The goal of the Oklahoma JV is to assemble a strategic portfolio of powered land that integrates Jericho's subsurface land and energy assets with surface land interests and is capable of delivering low-cost, high-performance, behind-the-meter power solutions to support the development of large-scale AI data center campuses. The Oklahoma JV intends to monetize its assembled land portfolio through powered-land sales, build-to-suit ground leases, and/or phased joint development of turnkey data center assets designed to meet the needs of end-users. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a Jericho affiliate (of which Jericho owns 50%) each own 50% of the Oklahoma JV. The Jericho affiliate contributed its core land assets in Pawnee and Noble counties, which cover approximately 18,000 acres and include oil and gas leases, leasehold interests, approximately 60 miles of gathering pipeline, rights-of-way and easements, and land option agreements. The Company contributed the capital needed to fund initial land assemblage and has also committed to contribute additional capital over time (See Notes 7 and 13 for additional information). The Company provides administrative services to the Oklahoma JV in exchange for market-rate fees, and revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was immaterial. Comstock 41 In December 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of an 18,150 square foot land parcel located at 41 Maryland Avenue in Rockville, Maryland (“Comstock 41”) through a wholly owned subsidiary for $1.5 million. This investment property sits adjacent to BLVD Ansel and BLVD Forty-Four and is currently a surface parking lot. Comstock 41 has existing entitlements for at least 117 dwelling units and approximately 11,000 square feet of retail space. 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 given the opportunity to provide property management services upon delivery. In December 2025, the Company received legislative approval from the City of Rockville for the affordable housing development and the relocation of certain moderately-priced dwelling units (MPDUs) from BLVD Forty Four to Comstock 41. The rezoning approval triggered a $1.6 million entitlement success fee based on a contingent fee agreement with BLVD Forty Four that was recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. (See Note 13 for additional information). Other Investments 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 STS net income and distributions are recorded in gain (loss) on real estate ventures in the consolidated statements of operations and was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The Company's proportionate share of STS net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was immaterial.
