William Lyon Homes (NYSE: WLH) in Newport Beach was the fastest-growing publicly traded OC homebuilder over the last two years, with revenue surging 42% to $2.1 billion.
Much of the growth comes from its March 2018 buy of RSI Communities, then-owned by local entrepreneur and philanthropist Ron Simon. Shares also rose after WLH’s board gave Chairman William H. Lyon to seek investors for a potential buyout.
The multistate developer and builder traded recently at an $814 million market cap.
