Del Webb to open two new active-adult communities in Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ohio - PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM), the $23.5 billion homebuilding giant with a "GREAT" financial health rating according to InvestingPro, announced it will introduce two new Del Webb communities to the Columbus market in Spring 2026, expanding the active-adult brand’s Midwest presence. The company, which currently appears undervalued based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, continues to demonstrate strong market positioning with $17.7 billion in revenue over the last twelve months.

The developments include Del Webb Maygrass in Plain City, designed for residents 55 and older, and Del Webb Explore at Northstar in Sunbury, which will offer the brand’s amenities to homebuyers of all ages. This expansion comes as PulteGroup maintains robust financial metrics, including an impressive current ratio of 6.41, indicating strong ability to fund new developments.

Del Webb Maygrass will feature 711 homes across 353 acres with more than 175 acres of open space, preservation areas, and nature trails. The community will include a 16,000 square-foot clubhouse with indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, golf simulator, and various recreational facilities.

Del Webb Explore at Northstar, part of the master-planned Northstar Community, will offer 570 homes on 256 acres surrounding the NorthStar Golf Club. The property will include a 14,500 square-foot clubhouse with fitness center, game room, and event spaces.

"Throughout the Midwest, we’ve seen strong interest from active-adult homebuyers that want the vibrant lifestyle and world-class amenities that Del Webb has to offer," said Jim Marcero, PulteGroup’s Columbus Division President, in a press release statement.

Both communities will offer single-story homes ranging from 1,502 to 2,754 square feet, with options to expand up to 3,590 square feet with additional loft space. Construction has already begun at both locations.

The Columbus developments mark Del Webb’s second and third locations in Ohio, joining Del Webb Hickory Greens near Cleveland. The brand now has communities in major Midwestern markets including Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, and Minneapolis.
