Top Company: Real Estate/Construction
MDC Holdings

MDC Holdings Inc., Colorado's largest home builder and one of the 10 largest in the nation, is posting another record-breaking sales year in 2005, which means it will top its record $4 billion in sales in fiscal 2004, which topped its record $3 billion in sales in 2003. There's just no stopping Chairman and CEO Larry Mizel and his company.

Denver-based MDC, which builds single-family residences as Richmond American Homes and finances mortgages for many of the buyers of those homes, then sells homeowners' insurance to the new owners, was named the 2005 Top Company in construction and real estate by ColoradoBiz.

The award came on MDC's second try for it, after more than 30 years in business in Colorado. Mizel said he was persistent in seeking the recognition because it certifies his company's leadership in his industry.

Mizel considers the challenges faced by companies nationwide in 2005, from rising fuel prices to responding to the destruction along the Gulf Coast from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, short-term setbacks. "The homebuilding sector in general is beginning to experience a temporary strain in labor, supplies and materials as a result of these devastating hurricanes," he said in early fall. The shortages, he said, might temporarily drive up prices, but MDC's response to the hurricanes was being handled through its charitable foundations rather than rushing to the affected markets to make money off of the rebuilding.
