Revenue model

1. Home Sales: 13th Floor Homes builds and sells single-family homes, townhomes, and villas to individual buyers and bulk/institutional investors. Revenue is realized upon home closings. The company also sells finished homesites in bulk to national homebuilders such as DR Horton and Lennar.
2. Rental Income: For-rent communities such as Solera at Avalon Trails (74 villas) and Tredici at Central Park (220 townhomes) and Villas of Torino (126 townhomes) generate recurring rental income. These are operated as build-to-rent (BTR) communities targeting active adults and renters-by-preference.
3. Bulk Homesite Sales: In many communities, 13th Floor sells finished or partially-finished homesites in bulk transactions to national homebuilders, realizing revenue through staged takedowns. Examples include Avalon Trails (sold lots to Lennar), Delray Trails (sold lots to national homebuilder), and Bristol Pines (sold to active Naples builder).
4. Community Development: Alongside its parent company 13th Floor Investments, the company develops master planned communities generating revenue from home sales, rental operations, and commercial components (e.g., Mainstreet Coconut Creek includes 100,000 sq ft of commercial space).

Core offering

13th Floor Homes is a Florida-based homebuilder and community developer that acquires, entitles, builds, and sells new-construction residential communities. The company produces single-family homes, townhomes, villas, and active adult (55+) communities across entry-level, mid-market, and luxury price tiers, and operates build-to-rent rental communities. It also sells finished homesites in bulk to national homebuilders such as DR Horton and Lennar.

Product overview

13th Floor Homes is a Florida-based private homebuilder and community developer offering single-family homes, townhomes, villas, and active adult (55+) communities across 21+ developments throughout Florida. The company's product portfolio includes for-sale and for-rent housing products, from luxury single-family homes priced from the low $1 millions (Marina Landings) to affordable workforce housing in the $200,000s-$300,000s range. Specialties include homebuilding and planned community development, with a focus on repositioning underutilized assets such as former golf courses, church properties, and infill sites into vibrant residential communities.

Broad incumbents

• PulteGroup: National homebuilder (Centex, Pulte, Del Webb, John Wieland) operating active-adult, move-up, and entry-level segments. Compares to 13th Floor because PulteGroup's Del Webb brand directly competes with 13th Floor's 55+ communities (Avalon Trails, Delray Trails, Solera) and Pulte operates a broader national portfolio versus 13th Floor's Florida focus.
• M/I Homes: Mid-size public homebuilder with mid-Atlantic, Midwest and select Florida operations. Comparable to 13th Floor because M/I delivers single-family homes in Florida master-planned communities at move-up price points, mirroring 13th Floor's mid-market product strategy across its development pipeline.
• KB Home: Public homebuilder focused on first-time and first move-up buyers with significant West Coast and select Florida exposure. Compares because 13th Floor's Central Parc, Manor Parc and Hidden Trails target the same first-time buyer demographic at similar $250K-$350K price points that KB Home serves.
• Taylor Morrison Home Corporation: Top-five U.S. homebuilder with a meaningful Florida footprint across entry-level, move-up, and active-adult (aligned with 13th Floor's three pricing tiers and 55+ focus). Operates at greater national scale but in overlapping Florida submarkets.
• Toll Brothers: National luxury homebuilder with presence in Florida. Closely comparable to 13th Floor's Marina Landings product (34 luxury homes starting at $1M+) and competes for the same affluent SoFL move-up/upgrade buyer, while operating a much broader national luxury portfolio.
• Tri Pointe Homes: National homebuilder (Pardee, Maracay, Pearson, etc.) with a Southeast Florida presence. Comparable as a regional builder pursuing move-up and luxury products in similar infill/redevelopment sites, similar to 13th Floor's Florida infill and golf-course repositioning strategy.
• LGI Homes: Disruptive entry-level homebuilder (formerly part of Comfort Homes) known for affordable new construction and aggressive geographic expansion. Comparable to 13th Floor because both companies target first-time buyers in supply-constrained markets with attainable new-construction price points in the $250K-$400K band.

Direct peers

• Lennar Corporation: One of the largest U.S. homebuilders and the most active acquirer of bulk homesites in South Florida. Comparable to 13th Floor because Lennar purchased 209 lots at Avalon Trails in 2020 and competes in the same for-sale and active-adult product categories across Florida markets where 13th Floor operates.
• D.R. Horton: America's largest homebuilder by volume with major South Florida operations. Directly comparable because 13th Floor Homes sells bulk homesites to D.R. Horton at Avalon Trails, Arbor Parc, Hemingway Point and other communities, and D.R. Horton competes with 13th Floor's direct-sale product on the same entry-level/mid-market price points across Florida.
• Dream Finders Homes: Jacksonville-based public homebuilder operating across Florida, the Carolinas, the Mid-Atlantic and Texas. Closely comparable to 13th Floor as a Florida-headquartered, regional homebuilder of similar size pursuing first-time buyer and active-adult segments through master-planned communities in overlapping submarkets.
