Item 2. Properties.
Our corporate offices are located in Reston, Virginia, where we currently lease approximately 61,000 square feet of office space. The current corporate office lease expires in April 2026.
In connection with the operation of the homebuilding segment, we lease production facilities in the following six locations: Thurmont, Maryland; Burlington County, New Jersey; Farmington, New York; Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Darlington, Pennsylvania; and Portland, Tennessee. These facilities range in size from approximately 40,000 square feet to 400,000 square feet and total approximately one million square feet. Each of these leases contains various options for extensions of the lease and for the purchase of the facility. These leases currently expire between 2019 and 2025. During 2018 we entered into a lease agreement for a new production facility in Richmond, Virginia of approximately 130,000 square feet. The lease has a term of 20 years from the commencement date which is expected to be in the second quarter of 2019. The lease contains an option for extension and for the purchase of the facility. In addition, we own a production facility of approximately 100,000 square feet in Dayton, Ohio. Our plant utilization was 52% and 47% of total capacity in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In connection with both our homebuilding and mortgage banking businesses, we also lease office space in multiple locations for homebuilding divisional offices and mortgage banking and title services branches under leases expiring at various times through 2025, none of which are individually material to our business.
We anticipate that, upon expiration of existing production facility and office leases, we will be able to renew them or obtain comparable facilities on terms acceptable to us.
