Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, any reference to "Pure Cycle," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" is to Pure Cycle Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We are a diversified water and wastewater service provider, land developer, and home rental company. We provide wholesale water and wastewater services in the Denver, Colorado area, develop land we own into master planned communities, and develop single-family homes for rent. Each of our businesses providing water and wastewater services, land development and single-family home rentals generates attractive recurring monthly income.
For more than 30 years, we have accumulated and continue to accumulate a portfolio of valuable water rights, land interests and single-family rental homes along the Front Range of Colorado. We have added an extensive network of wholesale water production, storage, treatment and distribution systems, and wastewater collection and treatment systems that we operate and maintain to serve domestic, commercial, and industrial customers in the eastern Denver metropolitan region. Our primary land asset, known as Sky Ranch, is in one of the most active development areas in the Denver metropolitan region along the rapidly developing I-70 corridor, where we are developing lots for residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial uses. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single-family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, schools, and over two million square feet of retail, commercial and light industrial space, all of which will be serviced by our water and wastewater services segment. Additionally, we have retained lots in our Sky Ranch development for our single-family rental business where we contract with national homebuilders to build us single-family homes for rent, typically under annual lease agreements. With 14 homes currently owned and rented, we continue to expand this new line of business, which may include more than 200 rental homes at Sky Ranch over the next several years.
