PulteGroup CEO Emphasizes Importance of Innovation in Active Adult Sector at NIC Conference

by Hayden Spiess

AUSTIN, TEXAS — The Del Webb active adult brand, long associated with Sun Belt markets, is gaining traction in the Midwest, says Ryan Marshall, president and CEO of Atlanta-based PulteGroup Inc. (NYSE: PHM), parent company of Del Webb. But unlike Sun City, Arizona — the pioneering planned retirement community developed by Del Webb starting in 1960 — today’s developments are much smaller in scale. Del Webb Hickory Greens, located about 25 miles southwest of Cleveland in Columbia Township, Ohio, officially opened in March of this year. The 622-home community is spread across 325 acres, where residents age 55 and older can enjoy a variety of resort-style amenities designed to foster an active and social lifestyle.  The centerpiece of the community is a 14,000-square-foot amenity center featuring indoor and outdoor pools, outdoor pickleball courts and a fitness center. Del Webb Hickory Greens also offers year-round social events, walking trails, over 170 acres of green space, a dog park and a community garden. “It’s one of our best-selling active adult Del Webb communities year to date,” says Marshall, noting that the Cleveland market is not traditionally known as a hotspot for retirees. “We’ve probably sold 110 homes [at Del Webb Hickory Greens] since February, which is …

How to Design for Multifamily Growth in the Midwest

by Kristin Harlow

By Yanitza Brongers-Marrero, Moody Nolan Rent growth in cities across the Midwest is booming, encouraging developers and municipalities alike to ramp up investment in the region. As interest shifts away from coastal markets that became overbuilt during the pandemic, the Midwest’s stability and growth potential are coming into sharper focus.  Columbus, Ohio, is leading the charge with adding 30,348 new residents in the past year, a 1.4 percent growth rate that outpaces both the national (1 percent) and Midwest (0.6 percent) averages, according to the latest U.S. Census estimates. Projections suggest the region could gain another million residents by 2050, underscoring its long-term demand for housing.  Chicago, meanwhile, remains the Midwest’s economic engine. The metro area ranks third in the U.S. by GDP at $860 billion and saw a 4.6 percent year-over-year rent growth in June, according to CoStar. The city also added 22,164 residents from mid-2023 to mid-2024, marking the seventh-largest population gain in the U.S.  Together, these cities, along with Minneapolis, are shaping the next chapter of multifamily investment and housing innovation in the Midwest.  What are the major influences you’re seeing fuel the growth in demand for multifamily projects in the Midwest?  Being five years out from …
