Green Brick Partners Named to Forbes’ 2021 America’s Best Small Companies List

The National Homebuilding and Land Development Company Places Fifth on the 2021 List

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Green Brick Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRBK) (“Green Brick”) is pleased to announce that it has been named to Forbes’ 2021 America’s Best Small Companies list. The national homebuilder and developer placed fifth on this year’s list of 850 companies evaluated.

Over 850 companies with market capitalizations from $300 million to $2 billion were analyzed to create the list. To qualify for the top 100, companies were evaluated on earnings and sales growth for the last 12 months and over five years, one-year and five-year return on equity, along with 52-week total return as of November 25, 2020.

“We are exceptionally pleased to be included in Forbes’ list and to be noted as one of America’s fastest growing residential developers,” said Jim Brickman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Green Brick Partners. “With demand for new homes at the highest levels in more than a decade, Green Brick has successfully continued to grow and expand its community count year over year.”

Earlier this week the company announced the acquisition and development of five new communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth market that will include the company’s Trophy Signature Homes, CB JENI Homes, Normandy Homes, and Southgate Homes Team Builder brands.

“Though our proven track record of risk-adjusted growth, strong returns, and position in many of the best markets were integral to allowing us to place on this list, Green Brick Partners still has a long pathway towards future growth,” said Jed Dolson, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Green Brick Partners. “With our dramatic growth in lots owned and controlled and record starts of over 700 units in Q3 2020, we are confident that we have the necessary inventory levels to achieve significant growth in 2021 and beyond.”

Green Brick Partners’ neighborhoods offer homes with floorplans designed to meet buyers’ evolving needs including ample outdoor space and separate home offices, at reasonable price points in some of the best and most diversified growth markets in the country.
