Greenhaven Associates fully liquidated its $138 million stake in Millrose Properties (MRP), selling all 4.6 million shares in Q1 2026, per an April 6 SEC filing. The move erased the position from its portfolio. The sale marked a 2.28% reduction in Greenhaven’s $6.07 billion 13F assets, with MRP previously comprising 2.2% of AUM. Top holdings now include LEN (18% of AUM) and TOL (15%). Millrose Properties, a $4.61 billion residential land option firm, boasts a 10.55% dividend yield. Its HOPP’R platform enables homebuilders to access land efficiently via option agreements. Shares traded at $27.63 on April 5, up 16.88% year-over-year, slightly outperforming the S&P 500. The company’s revenue hit $600.46 million (TTM). The exit reflects a strategic shift, as Millrose’s income model—tied to builder demand and land transactions—carries risks if housing activity slows or capital costs rise.

Company OverviewMetricValuePrice (as of market close 2026-04-02)$27.63Market Capitalization$4.61 billionRevenue (TTM)$600.46 millionDividend Yield10.55%Company SnapshotMillrose Properties, Inc. specializes in enabling capital-efficient growth for homebuilders through its innovative land option platform. With a focus on residential real estate, the company offers investors access to income-generating opportunities that were historically limited to institutional participants. Its differentiated business model delivers a reported dividend yield of 10.55%.Millrose Properties operates a Homesite Option Purchase Platform (HOPP'R), facilitating residential land banking and providing homebuilders with capital-efficient access to controlled land positions.The company generates revenue by acquiring and managing residential land options, earning income through option premiums and related real estate transactions. Its primary customers include homebuilders and institutional investors seeking exposure to residential real estate-backed income streams.What this transaction means for investorsMillrose Properties gives homebuilders control of residential land through option agreements, earning income from monthly option payments and homesite sales rather than building or selling homes itself. That makes it a different kind of housing stock: one that can appear income-oriented, but is still tied to builder demand, takedown activity, and the pace at which capital is recycled into new land and development.The business is driven by homebuilders’ demand for new lots, the pricing and duration of option agreements, and Millrose’s ability to deploy capital into land and development at attractive returns. Monthly option fees provide recurring cash flow, while homesite sales and renewals add to earnings, but both depend on builders continuing to expand and transact. The model is therefore exposed not only to housing demand, but also to capital costs and the strength of the land pipeline.For investors, Millrose offers a high-yield way to participate in the housing market without owning a homebuilder outright, but that income is not purely defensive. The appeal is the fee stream and capital efficiency of the platform; the risk is that both can weaken if builder demand slows or land activity stalls. The stock performs best when builders continue paying for options and Millrose can consistently convert land into cash returns.Read NextApr 7, 2026 •By Andy GouldLightwave Logic Director Sells 9,000 Shares -- But Context Is CrucialApr 7, 2026 •By Robert IzquierdoMineralys Therapeutics' CEO Sold Shares Worth $1.97 Million.
