Darren Richman, CEO of Millrose Properties, Inc. (NYSE: MRP), joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the land banking business model and how the REIT works with major home builders to improve capital efficiency.
Millrose was spun off from home builder Lennar Corp. in February, allowing Lennar to focus on the consumer-facing aspect of its business by transferring the land development side to Millrose. The REIT works with Lennar and 11 other homebuilders.
“The more modern form of land banking is about capital efficiency, where a builder is looking to clarify their own business model, looking to separate the opco (operating company) from the propco (property company),” he said.
