Today we begin our rollout of home building’s most-anticipated rankings with the release of the Next 100, a listing of the top 101 to 200 U.S. home builders by closings. (Tomorrow we'll showcase the cream of the crop, the BUILDER 100.)
Builders had a slightly easier chance to move into the Next 100 list in 2014 than the year before--the threshold to entry was 110 closed units compared to 114 in 2013. Eighteen companies that were not on the Next 100 list in 2013 were able to land a coveted spot for 2014, 10 more than the year before. The newbies are listed here, ranked by closings:
