Effectively immediately, Lennar has named Jim Parker as chief operating officer and David Grove as executive vice president, home building, of the No. 2 builder on the Builder 100 list.
Each with 30 years of home building industry experience, Parker and Grove most recently served as area presidents, leading Lennar’s East and West operations, respectively. In their new roles, they will continue to report to Stuart Miller, executive chairman, CEO, and president of Lennar.
Miller says, “Jim and David are tenured, proven Lennar leaders who are energized by the opportunity ahead. They have consistently delivered strong results for our teams and our business. More than that, they exemplify our core values—building quality homes and delivering more value to our customers, always with the highest level of integrity.”
Parker joined Lennar as regional president through its 2018 merger with CalAtlantic Homes, where he had served as region president following the merger of Ryland Homes and Standard Pacific. Earlier in his career, he held leadership roles at John Wieland Homes and Beazer Homes, founded and sold Parker Chandler Homes, and later served as Atlanta division president and area president at Ryland Homes.
Grove joined Lennar in 1999 as a construction area manager in Austin and has spent his entire career with the company, advancing through roles in construction management and operations before becoming division president in 2004. He led Lennar’s San Antonio division for more than a decade and oversaw both the Austin and San Antonio divisions before relocating to Dallas in 2017 as division president of the Dallas-Fort Worth division. Before assuming his area president role, he was named regional president for Texas in 2022.
