Erik Molina took our ‘What I Did Yesterday’ feature to heart documenting a recent busy day.
Molina is vice president of land acquisitions for Lennar. The Miami-based company is one of the largest homebuilders in the Arizona market and has also developed apartments.
Molina’s day includes juggling deal making, due diligence and meetings with finding a lunchtime restaurant that serves macaroni and cheese and allows for “toy car demolitions” and squeezing in watching “The Office”.
