For the 10th year in a row, Lennar was the top homebuilder in the Twin Cities metro, according to a recent survey by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC).
That ranking is based on annual gross revenue from for-sale housing built in the 13-county metro area. Lennar, which is based in Florida, had gross revenue for 442 single-family and 60 multifamily homes (502 total) of $233 million. Those were deals that were built and closed during 2015. The company has held the top spot since 2006.
"It's a great honor that Twin Cities families have chosen Lennar as the No. 1 builder for 10 straight years," said Bill Burgess, Lennar Division president, in a statement. Listening to our buyers' ideas and dreams of what they want in their new home allows us to build them a great energy-efficient home in an outstanding neighborhood and school district, with the newest colors and design trends included."
