Company Overview

Forestar Group Inc., headquartered in Austin, Texas, is a residential lot development and management company focused on delivering finished home sites to homebuilders across the United States. The company acquires, entitles and develops land for single-family and multi-family housing, managing zoning, infrastructure and environmental approvals to prepare lots for construction. Forestar’s integrated approach to land development spans from initial site acquisition through final lot delivery, providing homebuilders with ready-to-build parcels in a variety of markets.

In addition to lot development, Forestar operates a retail homebuilding segment through joint ventures and strategic partnerships with national and regional homebuilders. The company collaborates closely with its partners to manage construction financing, lot sales and title services, helping to streamline the building process and accelerate the delivery of new homes. This dual model of lot creation and retail management allows Forestar to participate in both upstream land value creation and downstream homebuilding activities.

Forestar was established as an independent public company in 2014 following a spin-off from D.R. Horton, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. Since its inception, Forestar has expanded its geographic footprint, operating in more than 20 states that include high-growth regions such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, California and the Carolinas. The company’s land portfolio encompasses key metropolitan and suburban markets where demand for housing remains robust.

Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Klein, Forestar maintains a disciplined land acquisition strategy and strong focus on risk management. The company’s experienced management team brings deep expertise in land planning, regulatory compliance and construction finance, supporting Forestar’s mission to provide quality residential lots and services to the homebuilding industry.
