Homebuilding revenue jumped 42 percent to more than $1.2 billion. Lennar completed 3,609 homes, a year-over-year increase of 13 percent, and received orders for 4,465 residences, a gain of 10 percent.

“Despite harsh weather conditions that impacted sales and construction during the quarter in some of our markets, we were able to achieve healthy year-over-year increases in both new orders and deliveries,” Lennar CEO Stuart Miller said. [South Florida Business Journal] — Eric Kalis
