On August 26, 2021, Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “TCI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd. (“SPC”), completed the sale of 600 Las Colinas, a 512,173 square foot office building in Irving, Texas, for $74.5 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $32.3 million. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to pay off the $35.9 million mortgage note payable on the property and for general corporate purposes.
