Milrose plans $1 billion bond sale to fund homesite growth
Millrose Properties, Inc. (MRP) plans a $1 billion bond sale in two parts, due 2029 and 2031, to fund homesite acquisitions and repay credit facilities. The company will also draw $500 million from a term loan, totaling $1.5 billion. Proceeds will support acquisitions from the pending Dream Finders Homes and Beazer Homes merger and repay $850 million in outstanding credit. If the merger fails, $500 million of the 2031 notes must be redeemed.
