## Overview

Millrose Properties, Inc. is a Maryland-incorporated residential land banking company spun off from Lennar in February 2025 and now listed on the NYSE under MRP. It buys and develops residential land, then sells finished homesites to homebuilders through option contracts with preset prices and takedown schedules, with a smaller development-loan business alongside the core platform.

## Products & services

• Residential land acquisition and development
• Finished homesite sales under option contracts
• Recurring option fee income
• Development loans secured by residential property
• Vertical construction funding on select homesites
• Land banking platform and ERP/data warehouse support

- **Homesite option contracts** (85%) — Finished homesites are sold to homebuilders under contracts with predetermined takedown schedules and option pricing.
- **Option fees and related income** (10%) — Monthly cash option fees and forfeited deposits compensate Millrose for reserving and managing homesite access.
- **Development loans** (5%) — Secured loans tied to residential property provide a smaller source of interest income.

## Customers

Millrose primarily serves U.S. homebuilders that want access to finished homesites without tying up as much capital in land ownership. Its customer base includes Lennar, Lennar Related Ventures, Taylor Morrison and other homebuilders that use the platform to support asset-light community growth and, in some cases, build-to-rent or vertical construction projects.

- **Lennar and Lennar-related entities** (primary) — They buy homesites through the spin-off platform and remain an important anchor customer base.
- **Other U.S. homebuilders** (primary) — They purchase finished homesites under option contracts to expand land access without owning raw land outright.
- **Build-to-rent and vertical construction customers** (secondary) — They use Millrose-funded homesites and construction support for projects such as Taylor Morrison Yardly.
- **Residential property borrowers** (emerging) — They take secured development loans where Millrose earns interest income on outstanding balances.

- Homebuilders buying finished homesites for community development
- Lennar and Lennar-related entities using the HOPP'R platform
- Builders seeking asset-light land access and capital recycling
- Select customers needing development or vertical construction funding
- Counterparties that value preset takedown schedules and pricing

## Geography

Millrose conducts its business entirely in the United States and reported 142,139 homesites across 933 properties in 30 states as of December 31, 2025. The portfolio is spread across major Sun Belt and national housing markets, which diversifies local housing-cycle exposure but ties results to U.S. residential demand, land values and builder activity.

- All operations are in the United States
- Homesites span 30 states across 933 communities
- Large multi-state land portfolio diversifies local housing risk
- Exposure is tied to U.S. homebuilding and land-market conditions
- No disclosed non-U.S. revenue or operating footprint

## Strategy

Millrose is building a public land-banking platform that gives homebuilders asset-light access to finished homesites while recycling capital into new acquisitions. Near term, it is focused on expanding counterparties beyond Lennar, using its proprietary data warehouse and ERP tools to process transactions quickly and manage a large, multi-state portfolio.

- **Grow the non-Lennar customer base** (short-term) — Reduces dependence on the spin-off anchor relationship and broadens revenue sources.
- **Recycle capital into new land acquisitions** (medium-term) — The model depends on converting takedowns into fresh inventory and future option fees.
- **Preserve financing flexibility** (medium-term) — Growth requires access to debt and equity capital for new transactions and portfolio expansion.

- Expand beyond Lennar to add new homebuilder counterparties
- Recycle capital from takedowns into new land acquisitions
- Use option contracts to provide asset-light builder access
- Leverage proprietary data warehouse and ERP workflow tools
- Maintain financing capacity for future customer transactions

## Risks

Millrose is a newly independent company with limited operating history, so investors have little evidence on standalone execution, customer retention or capital allocation. Its results are also exposed to housing-cycle volatility, land-value declines, customer concentration and financing availability, all of which can affect option-fee income, asset values and growth capacity.

- **Limited operating history** [high] — The company was formed in 2024 and became independent in 2025, so there is little standalone track record.
- **Customer concentration** [high] — Lennar is an anchor relationship and the business needs new counterparties to diversify revenue.
- **Land value decline** [high] — Homesite and land values can drop with weaker housing demand, forcing write-downs.
- **Financing and covenant risk** [medium] — Growth depends on debt and equity capital, while leverage limits and covenants constrain flexibility.
- **Competitive pressure** [medium] — Traditional land bankers may have stronger reputations and longer operating histories.

- Limited operating history as a standalone public company
- Dependence on Lennar and success in adding new counterparties
- Land and homesite values can fall with housing-market weakness
- Financing access may be constrained by leverage and covenant limits
- Competition from established land banking firms with longer track records

## Accounting

Revenue is recognized over time for monthly option payments, while deposits are initially recorded as liabilities and only become income if customers forfeit them. The company also carries homesite inventory and development assets at values that depend on management estimates, so land valuation, write-downs and the timing of takedowns can materially affect reported results.

- **Revenue recognition for option contracts** — Affects revenue timing, deferred liabilities and comparability across periods
- **Inventory and fair value estimates** — Can drive impairment charges and change reported asset values
- **Spin-off and pre-spin presentation** — Limits comparability with post-spin standalone performance
- **Management fee and related-party structure** — Affects operating expense structure and recurring cash outflows

- Option fees are recognized monthly over the contract period
- Option deposits stay as liabilities until exercised or forfeited
- Homesite sales reduce inventory carrying value at takedown
- Land and homesite valuation requires judgment and may trigger write-downs
- Pre-spin period results are not directly comparable to standalone periods
