RECRUITING LOCATIONS
The South Jersey Homebuilding Market
South Jersey is a Philadelphia commuter market, with new-home corridors running through Gloucester County’s Washington Township and Woolwich and Burlington County’s Mount Laurel and Evesham, serving buyers priced out of the Pennsylvania suburbs.
Production single-family, townhomes and large 55-plus communities dominate the pipeline across Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties. New Jersey’s affordable-housing obligations and lengthy approval timelines make entitled land the real currency here, rewarding builders with deep local entitlement experience.
For hiring managers, the takeaway is direct: division, land and construction leadership with South Jersey and Philadelphia-metro experience is in constant demand, especially leaders who can navigate the state’s entitlement environment.
Who’s Building in the South Jersey Market
The Philadelphia metro, which includes South Jersey, is one of the country’s top 50 new-home markets. National production builders and New Jersey-based regionals compete across Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties:
D.R. Horton: production homes across Gloucester County
Ryan Homes: new-home communities across South Jersey, including Woolwich Township
Lennar: production homes across New Jersey
K. Hovnanian: New Jersey-based builder with large 55-plus communities
Toll Brothers: luxury and 55-plus communities across New Jersey
That mix is the point. National production builders, a New Jersey-based regional and luxury and active-adult specialists all compete for leaders who know the South Jersey land and entitlement environment.
We recruit leadership across every function of a South Jersey homebuilding division, from Director and Vice President through Division President and C-suite.
Land leaders responsible for sourcing, underwriting, entitlements, development and lot delivery, including Vice Presidents, Directors and Land Managers.
