Effective on Dec. 31, Lennar co-CEO and president Jon Jaffe will retire. Following a distinguished 42-year career with the No. 2 home builder on the 2025 Builder 100 list, he will also step down from his role as a director of the board. Stuart Miller will continue to serve as executive chairman and serve as CEO of Lennar, with no plans to replace Jaffe’s role.
“Jon has been a driving force behind Lennar’s success. His dedication, work ethic, and operational focus have provided mentorship and shaped our company into what it is today,” says Miller.
“Throughout his tenure, Jon has been a true warrior for Lennar and a trusted partner to me and to many across the business. Jon’s retirement and its timing reflect the need for Lennar to remake our organizational and cost structure to enable us to build more affordable and attainable homes. As we continue to evolve—embracing technology, driving efficiency, and positioning for the future—Jon’s legacy will serve as both foundation and inspiration for Lennar’s ongoing transformation.”
