CALGARY, April 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Genesis Land Development Corp. ("Genesis" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has successfully completed a $13.8 million sale for 71 recently completed lots in Phases 3 and 4 of its Calgary community of Saddlestone under normal terms and conditions.  Phases 3 and 4 contain 132 lots.  Of the remaining lots, 47 have been retained by Genesis' internal builder, and 14 have been held in reserve for future sales.

Annexation of lands:

Genesis also confirms that 319 acres of raw land originally purchased for $20.7 million and held by Limited Partnership Land Pool (2007) ("LPLP") have been annexed into the City of Airdrie on March 24, 2012.  Annexation into the City of Airdrie enhances the likelihood that these lands can be developed in the future.  Pursuant to a management agreement dated June 29, 2007 and assuming a minimum 50% return to LPLP investors, Genesis can either acquire these lands at a discount or participate in the profits if sold.

Consulting Arrangement:

The consulting arrangement Genesis entered into with its former CEO, Gobi Singh, as previously announced on November 30, 2011, concluded on March 31, 2012.   Genesis is thankful to Mr. Singh for his assistance during the transition period, and wishes him well in all his future endeavours.
