“GRBK is a diversified homebuilding and land development company. The company operates in growing markets in Atlanta, GA; Colorado Springs, CO; Dallas, TX; Houston, TX; and Vero Beach, FL. GRBK has more than tripled its revenue since going public in 2014, while maintaining industry-leading high margins and low debt-to-capital. It has achieved this via organic growth, accretive acquisitions, launching its internal brand (Trophy Signature Homes), starting title and mortgage subsidiaries, and reducing its costs through national account contracts available to it as a function of GRBK’s scale. Management is disciplined and resourceful. GRBK rebounded from a brief slowdown in late 2018 and the company executed better than planned, leading to a 59% share price increase in 2019.4”
