PulteGroup stock: Jordanelle Ridge expansion puts Explore by Del Webb in focus
PulteGroup (PHM) just added another piece to its resort-style housing push, expanding the Explore by Del Webb brand into Utah’s Jordanelle Ridge with a planned 900-home community.
The Jordanelle Ridge project brings together a clubhouse, ten-acre lake, pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, sauna, cold plunge and trail access, giving investors a fresh data point on how PulteGroup is scaling its newest concept.
