Austin, Texas (June 19, 2023) — Landsea Homes Corporation (Nasdaq: LSEA) (“Landsea Homes” or the “Company”), a publicly traded residential homebuilder, officially broke ground on 880 homes for a new community called Freedom at Anthem in Kyle, Texas.
A groundbreaking celebration at the construction site was attended by senior executives from Landsea Homes, local officials, as well as members of the media. Freedom at Anthem is expected to grand opening in 2024.

This groundbreaking celebration marks an exciting milestone for the entire team and brings us one step closer to providing our best-in-class High-Performance Homes to new homebuyers in the greater Austin market,” said Vince Ruffino, Texas Division President, Landsea Homes.
Homes at Freedom at Anthem will range from 1,500 to 2,900 square feet with different floorplans offering three to five bedrooms and options for the primary bedroom on the first floor, dramatic vaulted ceilings, gourmet kitchens and luxury showers. Pricing will be announced at a later date.

Select floorplans will also offer options for LiveFlex® space, which offers homebuyers the opportunity to personalize their homes based on lifestyle needs.
Anthem is a 422-acre master-planned community located along FM 150 and I 35 at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country. The community is surrounded by an interconnected system of green belts and parks located along the Mustang Branch, which flows into Onion Creek and is home to Live Oak and Ashe Juniper trees. At full buildout, Anthem will include approximately 1,500 single-family homes, an elementary school and limited commercial space. The neighborhoods connect with an extensive system of bike lanes and sidewalks, and more than 30% of the property is bordered by permanently protected open space.
“Kyle is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas and provides a convenient housing alternative to living in Austin. The area offers an overall great quality of life with ample parks and open space, and a good school system along with higher education opportunities at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas State University,” added Ruffino.
The greater Austin market is one of the fastest-growing new home markets in the country. In a report on regional economic trends, the American Growth Project ranked Austin as the second fastest-growing city in the United States in 2022, falling only behind the San Francisco Bay area.
In March, Landsea Homes announced it has moved its corporate headquarters from Newport Beach, California to Dallas, Texas. Strong employment opportunities combined with the region’s lower taxes, fewer business regulations that are attracting companies looking to relocate and a relatively lower cost of living make the region a magnet for new homebuyers.
