Item 2. Properties.
We lease our executive offices, which are located at 220 South Ridgewood Avenue, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114. We lease offices at each of our 291 locations. We own an airplane hangar in Daytona Beach, Florida, which sits upon land leased from Volusia County, Florida. There are no outstanding mortgages on this owned property. Our operating leases expire on various dates. These leases generally contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses based upon increases in the lessors’ operating expenses and other charges. We expect that most leases will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for present purposes, and that the productive capacity in such facilities is substantially being utilized. From time to time, we may have unused space and seek to sublet such space to third parties, depending on the demand for office space in the locations involved. In the future, we may need to purchase, build or lease additional facilities to meet the requirements projected in our long-term business plan. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our lease commitments.
We have acquired several contiguous parcels of land totaling over thirteen acres in Daytona Beach, Florida, located approximately a mile from our current executive offices. We have initiated a project to build a new office tower to hold our executive offices and certain other business operations with capacity for up to 1000 employees and room for additional expansion through construction of additional office space at this location. Site preparation work began in 2018 and construction will commence in the first quarter of 2019, with completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020. Annual expenditures of approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million in 2019 and 2020, respectively, are anticipated to complete this project.
