Homebuilding industry veteran Matt Gibson has been named corporate vice president of land acquisition of The New Home Company, a role he will assume at the company’s headquarters in Aliso Viejo, California. In his new role, Gibson will focus on growth opportunities and land acquisition for the company as it continues its expansion in California and Arizona.
Gibson most recently served as a vice president for Watt Communities, a business unit of the diversified real estate conglomerate Watt Companies, where he was responsible for acquisition and entitlement of all new single-family, multifamily and mixed-use projects.
“I’m so excited to have Matt join the New Home team,” said Leonard Miller, president and CEO. “He has an outstanding reputation in the land community, has an exceptional work ethic and he brings a strong strategic perspective to the business.”
Prior to Watt Communities, Gibson spent five years in land acquisition at Richmond American Homes, a subsidiary of M.D.C. Holdings Inc. While at Richmond American, he worked with Miller who had regional and divisional responsibilities for several markets in the western U.S.
