Community revitalization

In many of the land-constrained areas in which we build, we use our expertise in community design to reimagine the potential of underutilized land and revitalize older neighborhoods with new housing stock. This can help bring in new residents and new energy, giving many of these places a new start. The land sellers and local governments with which we collaborate know that we have the experience to work with them to design new homes and new neighborhoods that contribute to the overall well-being of the community.

Creating these infill communities in established areas and participating in redevelopment projects are among our considerations when evaluating potential land investments. Often when we build in these areas, our homes are the first residential new construction in years and can enhance communities with more energy- and water-efficient housing that contribute to the overall financial and environmental resiliency of the local community.

A number of our neighborhoods have been built on redeveloped or infill locations, including 10+ redevelopment and 40+ infill communities in 2022. In addition, we strive to make more effective use of limited land resources by designing high-density communities of eight to 40 dwelling units per acre where zoning permits.
