Forestar Group

Forestar Group Inc. is a residential lot development company based in Arlington, Texas. The Company has operations in 51 markets in 21 states and delivered 11,518 residential lots during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020. The Company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and in October 2017 became a majority-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, Inc., the largest homebuilder by volume in the United States since 2002. The company primarily acquires entitled real estate and develops it into finished residential lots for sale to homebuilders with a strategic focus on asset turns and efficiency. Overview The company manages all operations through its real estate segment. The majority of Forestar’s real estate projects are single-family residential communities. The Company develops lots for single-family homes on sites typically purchased in the open market and sells residential lots primarily to local, regional and national homebuilders. Forestar acquires land for use in its development operations after the Company has completed due diligence and after it has obtained the rights (known as entitlements) to begin development work resulting in an acceptable number of residential lots. Forestar’s strategy is focused on making investments in land acquisition and development to expand its residential lot development business across a geographically diversified national platform and consolidate market share in the fragmented U.S. lot development industry. The Company primarily invests in short duration, phased development projects that generate returns similar to production-oriented homebuilders. Forestar also makes short-term investments in finished lots (lot banking) and undeveloped land with the intent to sell these assets within a short time period.
