The transaction doesn't include existing Daybreak homes and certain other assets.

"We are excited to add the Daybreak community, one of the largest master-planned communities in the country, to our growing real estate portfolio.” said Larry H. Miller Group of Companies CEO Steve Starks in a news release. “We look forward to building on the already established success of this community with the remaining undeveloped commercial area and the thousands of residences to be built within this regional destination area.”

The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Värde first acquired the property in 2016, and diversified the housing options and expanded on the commercial development of the master-planned community.
