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 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 2030, none of which are individually material to our business.
In connection with the operation of the homebuilding business, we lease production facilities in the following seven locations: Thurmont, Maryland; Burlington County, New Jersey; Farmington, New York; Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Darlington, Pennsylvania; Portland, Tennessee; and Richmond, Virginia. 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. Additionally, certain facility leases have early termination options. These leases currently expire between 2027 and 2040. We have entered into lease agreements for new production facilities in Fayetteville, North Carolina and Lavonia, Georgia. The Fayetteville facility will be approximately 145,000 square feet with a lease term of 10 years from the commencement date, which is expected to be in the first quarter of 2024, and contains an option for three five year extensions. The Lavonia facility will be approximately 170,000 square feet with a lease term of 15 years from the commencement date which is expected to be later in 2024, and contains an option for four five year extensions. In addition, we own a production facility of approximately 100,000 square feet in Dayton, Ohio. Our plant utilization was 56% and 58% of total capacity in 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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.
