The New Home Co. makes initial public offering

Sacramento Business Journal

From the article:

Prominent Sacramento-area developer The New Home Co. made its Wall Street debut Friday, with an initial public offering of stock priced at $11 a share.

Chief operating officer Tom Redwitz said it was a highly gratifying day for his company, which was founded in 2009 and managed to grow while homebuilding was all but nonexistent.

“It’s a really exciting milestone,” Redwitz said from the New York Stock Exchange Friday morning. “Now being a public company, that gives us fresh capital to continue growing the company.”

Redwitz said growth will include new projects in the Sacramento region, with The Cannery, a redevelopment project of housing and commercial buildings on a former tomato cannery in Davis, among the more prominent ones. The New Home Co., based in Southern California, also is making plans to be part of Folsom’s future development south of Highway 50 with a project called Russell Ranch.
