WCI names new CEO

BONITA SPRINGS — WCI Communities named Keith Bass as CEO, replacing David Fry, who resigned for undisclosed personal reasons.

Bass most recently served as the president of the south region of homebuilder Ryland Homes and joined the board of directors of WCI earlier this year.

In a statement, WCI Chairman Steve Plavin says Bass will oversee the expansion of the developer and homebuilder both internally and through targeted acquisitions. “With the successful $175 million capital raise earlier this year, the company is poised to execute on strategic land acquisitions in key Florida markets,” Plavin says in a statement.
