Lennar Corporation
700 Northwest 107th Avenue
Miami, FL 33172
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lennar Corporation (the Company) in connection with the Companys offer to exchange $200,000,000 principal amount of its Series B Senior Floating-Rate Notes due 2007 (the Notes) for a like principal amount of the Companys Series A Senior Floating-Rate Notes due 2007 (the Series A Notes). The exchange offer is being made pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the Registration Statement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In that capacity, we are familiar with the proceedings, corporate and other, relating to the authorization and issuance of the Notes and the Series A Notes.
Based upon the foregoing, and such other examination of law and fact as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that when issued in exchange for a like principal amount of Series A Notes in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Notes will have been legally issued and will be binding obligations of the Company.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption Legal Matters in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Clifford Chance US LLP
