Profile
Builds and sells attached and detached single-family homes across U.S. markets under two brands, with mortgage, title, insurance brokerage, and escrow services supporting buyers. A separate Century Living segment develops, manages, and sells multifamily rental properties in Colorado.
Builds and sells single-family attached and detached homes under the Century Communities and Century Complete brands, with operations spread across U.S. markets. The homebuilding footprint is organized around regional segments in the West, Mountain states, Texas, the Southeast, and the Century Complete entry-level platform.

Land availability, entitlement, construction costs, cycle times, new-home demand, and mortgage access shape the model. Public capital and acquisitions helped add regional scale and the online, entry-level model behind Century Complete.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
