Folkestone will contribute about $2.2 million to the JV to fund option agreements over two commercial buildings. 

 

The JV plans to consolidate a number of parcels of land to unlock a significant mixed-use development opportunity through a capital efficient structure.  

 

Folkestone reported a net profit of $2.77 million in the 2014 financial year.
