Please see the included financial tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
In 2025, the Company delivered multiple significant buildings in Reston Station’s highly anticipated second phase, The Row at Reston Station. The 1.6 million square foot phase includes two Trophy-class office towers representing a total of approximately 590,000 square feet, a second BLVD-branded residential tower containing 418 apartments, and Virginia’s first JW Marriott-branded hotel and residences - a 248-key hotel with a market-leading 40,000+ square feet of event space, and 94 luxury condominiums at the top of the tower.
In Q4-25, leading federal contractor Booz Allen Hamilton (“BAH”) announced it would relocate its global headquarters from Tysons Corner to The Row at Reston Station in 2027, occupying 300,000+ square feet across the Company’s two new office towers - 100% of 1870 Reston Row Plaza and ~35% of 1800 Reston Row Plaza. This landmark lease was among the largest private sector office leases in the Washington, D.C. region in 2025. Currently, ~80% of the total office space in these recently delivered buildings is committed to BAH and other tenants. BAH announced that upwards of 1,500 jobs will relocate to Reston upon the completion of interior construction.
To date, the JW Marriott Residences Reston Station has generated condominium sales of more than $100 million, representing approximately 50% of the projected total sales and making it one of the best-selling condominium projects in the region. The JW Marriott Reston Station hotel has quickly become among the best performing hotel and conference centers in Northern Virginia, attracting numerous corporate events to its market-leading luxury banquet and meeting space.
Institutional Venture Platform
In Q3-25, the Company announced the continuation of its Institutional Venture Platform (“IVP”) with plans to acquire a 400+ unit residential property in Rockville, Maryland. That acquisition is expected to close in Q1-26, and the Company expects to announce additional acquisitions in the coming months.
The Company’s Board of Directors also recently adopted its Institutional Venture Platform Policy, which can be found in the “ Governance Documents” section of it’s Investor Relations website.
Acquisitions under the Company’s IVP typically provide above average returns on invested capital (“ROIC”), generate fee-based revenue related to the asset management, property management, leasing, and capital improvement services provided by the Company to the IVP joint venture, as well as supplemental fee revenue related to acquisition/disposition services. Additionally, the Company typically earns a return on its capital and a “promoted” interest in the profit generated upon sale of the property.
“Increasing AUM by acquisitions through our Institutional Venture Platform is among our primary objectives for 2026,” said Mr. Clemente. “These joint ventures pair our operational expertise with the vast capital resources of our institutional partners. By identifying core, core+, and value-add acquisition opportunities and executing a strategic plan that we develop with our institutional partner, we enhance the operations and performance of acquired assets and generate above average, risk-adjusted returns for our partners and shareholders while minimizing capital risk for Comstock.”
Data Center Platform
The Company also recently announced the launch of its Data Center Platform (“DCP”), initially focusing on two strategic partnerships established in connection with large-scale data center campus developments in Oklahoma and the Mid-Atlantic region. The Company will leverage its vast experience with designing large scale, multi-building developments and infrastructure projects, obtaining entitlements, and marketing “powered land” located in areas of focus for data center “hyperscalers.”
In the Mid-Atlantic region, the Company is providing entitlement and development services pursuant to a fee-based asset management agreement that provides robust profit sharing revenue opportunities for the Company upon sale of entitled data center development land to hyperscaler data center operators. No significant capital investment is required by the Company, ensuring the potential for sizable ROIC.
In Oklahoma, the Company has committed a modest initial investment to form a strategic partnership with Jericho Energy Ventures (TSXV: JEV) (“Jericho”) that will focus the development of large-scale data center campuses on several thousand acres in Oklahoma where Jericho owns and operates natural gas infrastructure capable of providing “behind the meter” power sources for data center operation. Through its direct investment in the joint venture with Jericho, the Company will earn a share of the potentially significant profits upon the sale of the joint venture’s assembled land portfolio to one or more data center hyperscalers.
“The launch of our Data Center Platform represents a logical extension of our IVP, marking Comstock’s official entry into a critical real estate sector that is driving the digital economy,” added Mr. Clemente. “The DCP endeavors we recently announced follow the same roadmap as all our strategic real estate ventures, representing low-risk, capital-light opportunities to generate additional diversified revenue streams while maintaining our pristine balance sheet.”
The Company will post an updated Investor Presentation to the “ Events and Presentations” section of its Investor Relations website on March 17, 2026.

The increases in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 are primarily driven by significant increases in recurring fee-based revenue from our three operating property management subsidiaries and supplemental fee revenue from leasing activity.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and gain or loss on equity method investments in real estate ventures.
We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute Adjusted EBITDA consistently using the same methods each period.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it permits investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain non-cash items that are not considered by management to be indicative of our operational performance.
While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors when evaluating our business, it is not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute, for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
