Forestar Group Inc.FOR
Real Estate

Acquires entitled land, builds community infrastructure, and sells finished single-family lots to homebuilders. Operations are concentrated in the United States, with demand and governance shaped by D.R. Horton as controlling shareholder and largest customer.

Acquires entitled real estate, installs infrastructure, and sells finished single-family residential lots to local, regional, and national homebuilders through one real estate segment. Finished lot sales are the core activity, alongside smaller tract sales and other real estate revenue.

Operates across U.S. markets, with activity tied to land entitlement, zoning, environmental review, subcontractor capacity, mortgage affordability, and the pace of homebuilding demand. Project selection emphasizes feasibility work before land or lot acquisition.

Functions as a controlled public company under D.R. Horton, which owns a majority stake and buys most of the lot volume. The Master Supply Agreement gives D.R. Horton rights over specified Forestar-developed lots through long-dated ownership-linked terms.
