Dream Finders Homes’ Reverie Active Adult brand announced the launch of Reverie at Solaeris, a new 55+ community in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The development will host roughly 1,000 homes spread across three collections, with floor plans ranging from 1,475 sq ft to more than 3,000 sq ft. A 16,000‑sq‑ft clubhouse will anchor the community, offering a pool, spa, fitness and aerobics space, and pickleball and bocce courts.
Reverie at Solaeris is part of the larger Solaeris master‑planned development, which spans over 3,000 acres and has been approved for more than 8,000 residential units. The community’s open‑layout homes emphasize indoor‑outdoor connectivity and flexible spaces designed for active adults, aligning with Reverie’s “Connect. Explore. Thrive.” pillars and the company’s focus on low‑maintenance, resort‑style living.
The launch fits into Dream Finders Homes’ broader growth strategy in high‑growth, low‑cost‑of‑living Sun Belt markets. The company was named the 2025 National Builder of the Year by Builder magazine, underscoring its execution strength. By adding a large‑scale 55+ community, Dream Finders expands its portfolio in a segment that historically delivers stable demand and strong cash flow, positioning the firm to capture market share in a competitive environment that includes builders such as Kolter Land, Taylor Morrison, and K. Hovnanian Homes.
Financially, Dream Finders reported a 24% year‑over‑year decline in homebuilding revenues in Q4 2025, with net income falling to $59 million from $129 million in Q4 2024. Gross margin slipped to 16.7% from 17.7% in the prior year, reflecting pricing pressure and cost inflation. In contrast, Q1 2025 saw an 18% revenue increase and a margin improvement to 19.2%, indicating that the company’s asset‑light, capital‑efficient model can generate upside when demand recovers. The new Reverie community is expected to contribute to the next phase of revenue growth and help offset the recent margin compression.
Patrick Zalupski, Chairman and CEO, noted that the company is navigating a challenging industry environment but remains optimistic about its ability to deliver affordable homes. He highlighted a strategic partnership with Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa and emphasized the importance of maintaining cost discipline while expanding into high‑potential markets.
Port St. Lucie’s Sun Belt location continues to attract retirees and active adults, and the Solaeris master‑planned community offers a mix of amenities that differentiate it from other 55+ developments. The presence of multiple builders in the area signals strong demand, while Dream Finders’ focus on resort‑style amenities and lifestyle programming positions Reverie at Solaeris to capture a share of the growing active‑adult market.
