Diversity strengthens all of us. Lennar International works hard to reflect the global diversity of the people around the world we work with, day in and day out. One of the central principles of Lennar Corporation is integrity, and at the core of that principle are two very simple, but powerful, words: WE CARE. Lennar International was founded on those two words. We care about all the immigrants we help to find new homes in the United States. We care about the parents looking for a safe and comfortable home away from home for their children who are in the U.S. to get the best education the world has to offer. We care about the talented men and women who are coming to work in one of the most innovative economies on the planet. We care about tourists and vacationers looking for a place to escape their hectic life and relax. We care about the citizens of the world who seek out investment opportunities in the U.S. - one of the best real estate markets in the world. We care about everyone seeking to improve the safety, security, and future of their families. We care. Lennar International has an unwavering commitment to all people who seek to buy homes in the U.S., and to those real estate professionals around the world who help them achieve that dream every single day. We will continue to support the well-being of our homeowners, future homeowners, and our valued global partners all around the world. And we will continue the good work of enhancing the diversity – and promise – of America, which strengthens us all.
