Company Overview

Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE:FOR) is a residential lot development company that acquires, entitles and develops land for single-family and, in some markets, mixed-use communities.

Forestar’s activities include land acquisition, planning and entitlement, infrastructure development, and the management of residential development projects. Its lots are intended to support a range of housing types and price points, and the company works with national, regional and local homebuilders across its operating markets.

The company operates in multiple markets throughout the United States. Forestar became an independent public company after being spun off from Temple-Inland in 2007 and was acquired by D.R. Horton in 2017. D.R. Horton remains Forestar’s controlling stockholder, while Forestar continues to operate as a separately traded public company.
