"Technology and innovation are a core focus of Lennar's homebuilding and financial services platforms," said Lennar Executive Chairman, Stuart Miller. "Through our LENx technology division, we have invested in and innovated with best-in-class brands to re-imagine important elements of the home purchase, finance, and living experience. Our strategic relationships with Ring, Alloy, Level, Moen, eero and others in developing connected communities are an important extension of our strategy. In particular, we strongly believe that the simplicity and security focus of Ring coupled with the company's aggressive innovation cycle is quickly becoming the industry standard.
