Overview
Dream Homes & Development Corporation (DHDC) is a rapidly growing regional developer of new single-family subdivisions and a leader in coastal new home and modular construction, elevation, and mitigation. The company has a long history of over 2,000 new homes built and 400 elevation/renovation/addition projects since 1993.
After Superstorm Sandy in 2012, DHDC has capitalized on the opportunity for continued revenue growth by helping hundreds of homeowners build new homes or raise their homes to comply with new FEMA requirements. The company has developed a reputation as the region’s most trusted builder and has become known as the “rescue builder” for homeowners whose projects have been abandoned by others.
In addition to its focus on new home construction and elevation/renovation work, DHDC has recently decided to shift some of its new home developments to a “Build to Lease” model in response to the growing demand for rental properties and the preference of lenders and funding sources for this type of development. This new strategy is expected to become a significant revenue stream for the company.
Financial Performance
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, DHDC reported the following financial results:
Metric | Q1 2024 | Q1 2023 |
---|---|---|
Revenue | $1,473,735 | $1,104,466 |
Cost of Construction Contracts | $1,240,320 | $651,444 |
Gross Profit | $233,415 | $453,022 |
Operating Expenses | $331,717 | $297,009 |
Net Income (Loss) | $(122,618) | $986,231 |
The increase in revenue was due to ongoing property development, while the increase in cost of construction contracts was due to the sale of property held for development. Operating expenses increased by $34,708, from $297,009 in 2023 to $331,717 in 2024.

Outlook
DHDC’s management is optimistic about the company’s future prospects, as the rebuilding process in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy is expected to continue for the next 15-20 years. The company estimates that the combined market for new construction and elevation projects in its market area is around $3.4 billion, and DHDC aims to efficiently address 5% to 10% of this market.
The company’s focus on increasing the new home and new development portion of its business, as well as its foray into the “Build to Lease” market, are expected to drive future growth and revenue diversification. However, the company will need to closely monitor its cost structure and operating expenses to maintain profitability.
Overall, DHDC appears well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing demand for new construction and elevation/renovation work in its regional market, while also diversifying its revenue streams through the “Build to Lease” strategy.
