Great Park Venture
The Operating Company owned 37.5% of the Great Park Venture’s Percentage Interests as of September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Great Park Venture made aggregate distributions of $517.3 million and $229.9 million, respectively, to holders of Percentage Interests, of which the Company received $194.0 million and $86.2 million, respectively, for its 37.5% Percentage Interest.
The Great Park Venture is the owner of Great Park Neighborhoods, a mixed-use planned community located in Orange County, California. The Company, through the A&R DMA, as amended, manages the planning, development and sale of land at the Great Park Neighborhoods and supervises the day-to-day affairs of the Great Park Venture. The Great Park Venture is governed by an executive committee of representatives appointed by the holders of Percentage Interests. The Company serves as the administrative member but does not control the actions of the executive committee. The Company accounts for its investment in the Great Park Venture using the equity method of accounting.
The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Great Park Venture is higher than the Company’s underlying share of equity in the carrying value of net assets of the Great Park Venture, resulting in a basis difference. The Company’s earnings or losses from the equity method investment are adjusted by amortization and accretion of the basis differences as the assets (mainly inventory) and liabilities that gave rise to the basis difference are sold, settled or amortized.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Great Park Venture recognized no land sale revenues to related parties of the Company and $630.7 million in land sale revenues to third parties, of which $224.9 million relates to homesites sold to an unaffiliated land banking entity whereby Lennar retained the option to acquire these homesites in the future from the land bank entity.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Great Park Venture recognized $19.8 million in land sale revenues to related parties of the Company and $273.7 million in land sale revenues to third parties.

Gateway Commercial Venture

The Gateway Commercial Venture is governed by an executive committee in which the Company is entitled to appoint two individuals.

Hearthstone Funds
The Hearthstone Venture has interests in individual funds (the “Hearthstone Funds”) that primarily invest in land acquisition and development opportunities through land option programs with homebuilders. The Hearthstone Funds make investments in separate project limited partnerships that acquire land to be developed and contract with preapproved homebuilders through option and development agreements to construct improvements and purchase lots on agreed-upon terms and conditions. The Hearthstone Venture’s interest in an individual fund is generally between 1% and 3%. The Hearthstone Venture does not have a controlling financial interest in any of the Hearthstone Funds, however, the Hearthstone Venture has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the Hearthstone Funds, and therefore it accounts for its investments in the funds using the equity method.
At September 30, 2025, the Hearthstone Venture’s investments in the Hearthstone Funds were $19.7 million, and it recognized $0.2 million in equity in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Several of the Hearthstone Funds utilize financing arrangements to partially fund the acquisition of land. The debt is non-recourse to the Hearthstone Venture other than in the case of customary “bad act” exceptions or bankruptcy or insolvency events.
