WCI Communities Inc was incorporated in Delaware in 2009 and its predecessor company was founded in 1998. The Company is a lifestyle community developer and luxury homebuilder of single- and multi-family homes, including luxury high-rise tower units, in coastal Florida's growth markets. It owned or controlled approximately 13,300 home sites of which approximately 7,900 were owned and 5,400 were controlled by the Company.

Homebuilding segment designs, sells and builds single- and multi-family homes ranging in price from approximately $170,000 to $1.1 million and tower units ranging in price from $1.0 million to $3.6 million. Its product offerings range in size from approximately 1,100 square feet to 5,100 square feet. Additionally, its land development expertise enhances its homebuilding operations by enabling the Company to acquire and create well-amenitized master-planned communities, control the timing of home site delivery and capture the opportunity to drive margins. It actively sells in 47 different neighborhoods situated in 18 master-planned communities. Real Estate Services segment operates a full-service real estate brokerage business under the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand and title services that complement its homebuilding operations by providing with additional opportunities to capitalize on increasing home prices throughout Florida. It provides these services in connection with its real estate brokerage and homebuilding operations. In Amenities segment, within its communities, it may own and/or operate resort-style club and fitness facilities, championship golf courses, country clubs and marinas. The Company competes in each of its markets with other local, regional and national homebuilders. It not only competes for homebuyers, but also for desirable land assets, financing, building materials, skilled management talent and trade labor. It also competes with other housing alternatives, such as existing home sales (including lender-owned homes acquired through foreclosure or short sales) and rental housing. Its homebuilding competitors, including larger public companies, may have long-standing relationships with local labor, materials suppliers or land sellers in certain areas, which may provide them an advantage in their respective regions or local markets. Its real estate brokerage business competes with national and regional independent real estate organizations, franchisees of national and regional real estate franchisors, discount brokerages and smaller niche companies competing in local areas. Real estate brokers compete for sales and marketing business on the basis of services offered, reputation, utilization of technology, personal contacts and brokerage commission.
