Lennar is about to become America's largest homebuilder — here are some of its latest projects by Leanna Garfield on Oct 30, 2017, 3:40 PM Advertisement
 On Monday, Lennar Corporation announced plans to buy smaller rival CalAtlantic Group, making it the largest homebuilder in the United States. The stock-and-cash deal is valued at about $9.3 billion, including a debt of $3.6 billion. Lennar and CalAtlantic already have large footprints across the US. Combined, the two corporations have 240,000 building plots in 21 states, a market value of around $18 billion, and a revenue of $17 billion over the past year. The announcement follows ongoing labor shortages, increased regulatory costs, and a summer of powerful hurricanes that destroyed thousands of homes, mostly in Texas, Florida, the Caribbean Islands, and Puerto Rico. According to The New York Times, Lennar and CalAtlantic hope that by merging, they can address some of the issues that emerged from the disasters, including a decline in construction in the South. Take a look at some recent projects from Lennar and CalAtlantic below.
