Lennar Master Program Agreement: The Lennar relationship remains foundational to the Millrose platform, providing a stable base of recurring cash flow. For the first quarter of 2026, Millrose received
$626 million in net cash proceeds from homesite sales to Lennar and redeployed$524 million into new land acquisitions and development funding. As ofMarch 31, 2026 , the Lennar homesites under option contracts were$6.4 billion and theLennar Invested Capital balance was approximately$6 billion with a weighted average yield of 8.5%. -
Other Agreements: Millrose funded an additional
$465 million under Other Agreements at a weighted average yield of 10.7%, bringing homesites under option contracts and other related assets to$3.1 billion andInvested Capital net of realized homesite sales of$2.7 billion as ofMarch 31, 2026 . This capital growth of approximately$365 million compared to the prior quarter reflects the organic expansion of Millrose's business model, including the continued diversification of its builder base to 16 counterparties outside of Lennar, highlighted by the addition of a top-10 national homebuilder. -
