The Calara Group, founded by John R. Rausch, operates in multiple states across the central and southern parts of the United States. The leadership team earned its stripes working together at Rausch Coleman Homes (RCH), which grew to become the third largest privately held builder and the 19th largest overall builder in the country, building more than 5,000 homes a year.
The RCH team developed its own land for the home building side of the business, together developing nearly 20,000 homesites. When Mr. Rausch sold Rausch Coleman Homes and launched Calara, the land development team became the new Calara team and collectively brought with them more than 200 years of land development experience.
Today, Calara develops land for other residential builders, particularly those looking to adopt a “land-light” operational model.
