| Investments in Unconsolidated Entities | Investments in Unconsolidated Entities Homebuilding Unconsolidated Entities The investments in the Company's Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were as follows:
(1)The basis difference was primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in FivePoint. (2)Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's 40% ownership of FivePoint. As of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $605.6 million and $585.2 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the Homebuilding segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $324.0 million and $511.9 million, respectively. The Company has an immaterial amount of recourse exposure to debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which it has investments. While the Company sometimes guarantees debt of unconsolidated entities, in most instances the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their shares of any payments. In most instances, the amount of guaranteed debt of an unconsolidated entity is less than the value of the collateral securing it. As of both February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were immaterial. The Company believes that as of February 28, 2026, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or the Company and its partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, the Company has placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities with regard to obligations of its joint ventures (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The details related to these are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its 2025 Form 10-K. The Upward America Venture LP (“Upward America”) is an investment fund that acquires new single-family homes in high growth markets across the United States and rents them to the people who will live in them. Upward America could raise equity commitments totaling $1.0 billion. The commitments are primarily from institutional investors, including $78.1 million committed by the Company. As of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Upward America was $12.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Multifamily Unconsolidated Entities The unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Multifamily segment has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In connection with many of the bank loans to the Multifamily unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company (or entities related to them) has been required to give guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. Additionally, the Company guarantees the construction costs of the project as construction cost over-runs would be paid by the Company. Generally, these payments would increase the Company's investment in the entities and would increase its share of funds the entities distribute to the Company after the achievement of certain thresholds. The details related to these are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its 2025 Form 10-K. As of both February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. As of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $727.6 million and $798.1 million, respectively. The decrease in the non-recourse debt with completion guarantees was due to completion of projects and sale of joint ventures' rental operation projects and investments in various rental projects. In many instances, the Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for its Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. Each Multifamily real estate investment trust, JV and fund has unilateral decision-making rights related to development and other sales activity through its executive committee or asset management committee. The Multifamily segment also provides general contractor services for construction of some of the rental properties owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments. In some situations, the Multifamily segment sells land to various joint ventures and funds. The details of the activity were as follows:
The Multifamily segment includes managing and investing in Multifamily Venture Fund I LP (“LMV I”), Multifamily Venture Fund II LP (“LMV II”), Canada Pension Plan Investments Fund (the “CPPIB Fund”) and a joint venture with an institutional investor (the “Institutional JV”), which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development and construction of class-A multifamily assets. As of February 28, 2026, the Company has a $28.2 million investment in the CPPIB Fund. The Company's stated ownership percentage in the Institutional JV is 10%. As of February 28, 2026, the Company holds a $41.1 million investment in the Institutional JV. Additional dollars will be committed as opportunities are identified by the CPPIB Fund and the Institutional JV. In December 2025, the Company sold a majority interest in Quarterra Group, Inc. ("Quarterra"), a subsidiary of the Multifamily segment, to TPG Real Estate (“TPG”), thus retaining a non-controlling interest. The sale of Quarterra to TPG did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Details of LMV I and LMV II are included below:
(1)While there are remaining commitments with LMV I, there are no plans for additional capital calls. During the second half of fiscal 2024, the LMV I partners decided to liquidate and sell all of its 38 rental operation projects as the fund has come to the end of its contractual life. During the year ended November 30, 2025, 35 LMV I rental operation projects were sold to various third-party buyers. During the three months ended February 28, 2026, one additional LMV I rental operation project was sold to third-party buyers. Lennar Other Unconsolidated Entities Lennar Other's unconsolidated entities include fund investments the Company retained when it sold the Rialto assets and investment management platform in 2018, as well as strategic investments in technology companies and investment funds. The Company's investment in the Rialto funds totaled $128.6 million and $133.0 million as of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. In addition, the Company is entitled to a portion of the carried interest distributions by those funds. The Company also had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities and investment funds accounted for under the equity method of accounting with a carrying value of $232.5 million and $235.0 million, as of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively.
