Equity, not exposure

A ~$388K payoff against a ~$4M commercial re-valuation leaves roughly $3.6M of embedded land equity to underwrite the development stack.

ETJ, not city limits

Sitting outside Terrell city limits means no municipal permitting, no zoning re-designation, and county-only oversight for build-out.
