Homebuilding industry veteran Stewart Parker was named president of Dallas-based Landsea Homes Corp.’s Dallas-Fort Worth Division earlier this year, the company said.
“Stewart’s more than three decades of successful senior executive homebuilding leadership experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and beyond will be invaluable as we continue to grow this important division of our company,” said Mike Forsum, president and chief operating officer at Landsea Homes, in a February announcement.
“In addition to building more than 50,000 homes over the course of his career, his expertise will help guide our Dallas-Fort Worth team as they create high-quality and attainably priced homes for our homebuyers.”
Parker most recently served as national vice president of homebuilding operations for Homebound, a residential and commercial construction company. At Homebound, he led a ten-fold increase in homebuilding operations by both revenue and volume, launched five major new markets across three states, and oversaw disaster relief projects in Colorado and Florida, according to Landsea.
Parker began his career in Dallas as a warranty manager for a major public homebuilder. Over the past 25 years, he has held senior management positions with several national homebuilding companies and played a key role in helping builders expand their footprints across the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
“The opportunity to join one of the most innovative and forward-thinking public homebuilding companies in the nation, Landsea Homes, and lead their Texas divisions is a dream come true for me,” Parker said in a statement. “I’ve been fortunate to build a large number of homes in this state and am looking forward to guiding our outstanding team as we strive to become one of the top public homebuilders in Texas.”
Landsea’s Texas expansion
Landsea Homes entered the Texas market in 2021 and moved its corporate headquarters to Dallas in 2023. Its Dallas-Fort Worth Division was established following the acquisition of Antares Homes last year and is currently selling homes in 24 communities across the DFW and Austin regions.
