$700M Riverview homebuilder enters multifamily, build-to-rent market

In a move that founder and president Willy Nunn says he’s been looking at for a few years, Homes by WestBay is getting into the multifamily apartment market. 

The Riverview-based homebuilder, with $700.44 million in revenue in 2023, is also entering the fast-growing build-to-rent single-family home sector, according to a statement. 

The company named Brian LeBlanc, with experience in real estate and private equity in New York and Tampa, vice president of multifamily. LeBlanc worked for Morgan Stanley and AllianceBernstein in New York, among other firms, before joining Roers Cos. as a partner in Tampa in 2021, according to his LinkedIn profile.
