Information on Segments
We operate in two segments: traditional home building and urban infill. We build and sell detached and attached homes in luxury residential communities located in affluent suburban markets that cater to move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, age-qualified, and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building”). We also build and sell homes in urban infill markets through City Living.
We have determined that our Traditional Home Building operations operate in five geographic segments: North, Mid-Atlantic, South, West, and California. The states comprising each geographic segment are as follows:
North:    Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York
Mid-Atlantic:    Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia
South:    Florida, North Carolina, and Texas
West:    Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Washington
California:    California
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we acquired our first parcel of land in Salt Lake City, Utah. We commenced operations in Utah in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
