To elect three directors. The other directors have been elected for terms which expire in subsequent years. 2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 6, 1995 will be entitled to notice of or to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting. The Company's transfer books will not be closed. If you do not intend to be present at the meeting, please sign and return the enclosed Proxy. If you attend and vote in person, the Proxy will not be used. By Order of the Board of Directors ROBERT B. COLE Secretary Dated: March 1, 1995 PROXY STATEMENT SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXY The accompanying Proxy is solicited by the management of Lennar Corporation (the 'Company'). All shares represented by proxies will be voted in the manner designated; or if no designation is made, they will be voted for the election of directors. Shares represented by proxies which instruct the proxyholders to abstain (or which are marked by brokers to show that specified numbers of shares are not to be voted) with regard to particular matters will not be voted (or will not be voted as to the specified numbers of shares) with regard to those matters. THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY ARE BEING MAILED ON OR ABOUT MARCH 1, 1995 TO ALL STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD ON FEBRUARY 6, 1995. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivery of a written instrument of revocation to the office of the Company, Seven Hundred N.W. 107th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33172, or in open meeting, without, however, affecting any vote previously taken. The presence of a stockholder at the meeting will not operate to revoke a proxy, but the casting of a ballot by a stockholder who is present at the meeting will revoke a proxy as to the matter on which the ballot is cast. COST AND METHOD OF SOLICITATION The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies are being solicited by mail and, in addition, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegraph. The Company will reimburse custodians, brokerage houses, nominees and other fiduciaries for the cost of sending proxy material to their principals. VOTING RIGHTS AND PROXIES Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 6, 1995, will be entitled to vote at the meeting. The only outstanding voting securities of the Company on that date were 25,796,865 shares of Common Stock and 9,986,631 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes. Stock may be voted in person or by proxy appointed by a writing signed by a stockholder. Any message sent to the Company prior to the time for voting which appears to have been transmitted by a stockholder, or any reproduction of a proxy, will be deemed sufficient. No proxy will be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker, unless written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Company by the fiduciary having control of the shares represented by the proxy.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Company's directors are divided into three classes. The directors serve for terms of three years, and the term of one class of directors expires each year. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that each class will have the highest whole number of directors obtained by dividing the number of directors constituting the whole Board by three, with any additional directors allocated, one to a class, to the classes designated by the Board of Directors. Each of the three classes of directors now consists of three members. The term of the directors who will be elected at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will continue until the 1998 Annual Meeting.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board has established Audit and Compensation Committees. It does not have a Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Babcock, McEwen, McLamore and Rosen. This Committee met twice in fiscal 1994. Its principal functions are: recommending to the full Board the engagement of independent auditors for the ensuing year, reviewing the scope of non-audit services performed for the Company by the independent auditors, reviewing the independent auditors' recommendations for improvements of internal controls and reviewing the scope of work, findings and conclusions of the Company's Internal Audit Department. The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Babcock, Cole, McEwen, McLamore and Rosen. This Committee met once in fiscal 1994. Its principal functions are: recommending to the full Board compensation arrangements for senior management and recommending to the full Board the adoption and implementation of compensation and incentive plans. In addition there is an Officers and Directors 6 committee, consisting of Messrs. Babcock, McEwen, McLamore and Rosen, which approves grants of stock options and SAR's to officers. The Board normally holds meetings quarterly, but holds additional special meetings when required. During fiscal 1994, the Board met five times. Each director attended more than three-fourths of the total number of meetings of the Board and more than three-fourths of the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board on which he serves. REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION This report is presented to describe the compensation policies applied by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with regard to the Company's executive officers, and the basis for the compensation of Leonard Miller, the chief executive officer of the Company, for the year 1994. In December of each year the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of each employee of the Company or its subsidiaries whose compensation for the previous year exceeded $75,000 (this threshold amount was increased from the $50,000 threshold used in previous years). This review includes salary for the prior two years, the anticipated bonus, if any, for the preceding year (the actual bonus usually has not yet been computed) and the management recommendations as to salary and bonus formula for the following year (except that there is no recommendation as to the chief executive officer). The bonus formulae recommended by the management vary depending on particular employees' positions and other factors. Bonuses for division presidents and people in similar capacities often are a percentage of the profits of the divisions or other business units of which they have charge. Bonuses of other employees are based upon various approaches to evaluating their performance. The Compensation Committee almost always accepts the management recommendation as to all but the highest paid officers of the Company. This is in recognition of the fact that the management is far more familiar than anyone on the Compensation Committee with the individual employees, with prevailing levels of compensation in areas in which particular employees work and with other factors affecting compensation decisions. It also is in recognition of the fact that the management of the Company has primary responsibility for hiring and motivating employees, and for profitability of operations. However, the Compensation Committee believes the fact that it reviews the compensation of everyone who has been receiving more than a specified amount per year helps ensure that management's compensation decisions will be made responsibly, and will be in keeping with the Company's policy of attempting to compensate employees in the mid-range of what is customary for comparable work in comparable geographic areas. The Compensation Committee reviews in greater depth, the recommendations of the chief executive officer regarding compensation of the Company's five or six most highly paid executive officers. With regard to 1994, the people in this category included Irving Bolotin, Jeffrey P. Krasnoff, Stuart A. Miller and Steven J. Saiontz. With regard to the people in this category, the review included both proposed salaries and bonus formulae. For each of Stuart A. Miller and Steven J. Saiontz, who head the Company's two operating groups, the bonus with regard to 1994 was equal to one-third of one percent of that year's consolidated pre-tax income. That was an increase from the prior year's formula of one-quarter of one percent, which had been approved by the Compensation Committee in December 1993. The change was recommended by the chief executive officer to reflect the increasing responsibilities which were assigned to these two officers. With regard to the chief executive officer, the Compensation Committee reviewed an analysis, abstracted from proxy statements, of the compensation of the chief executive officers of eight publicly held 7 national homebuilding companies. It concluded that the compensation of the Company's chief executive officer was in the lower range of the companies surveyed. In order to adjust the compensation of the Company's chief executive officer to a level more in line with that of the chief executive officers of the homebuilding companies which had been surveyed, and in recognition of the fact that the Company's fiscal 1994 earnings were the highest in its history, the Compensation Committee (i) awarded the chief executive officer a bonus for 1994, to be paid in 1995, equal to one-third of one percent of the Company's pre-tax income, (ii) awarded the chief executive officer a special bonus of $100,000 for 1994, to be paid in 1995, (iii) increased the chief executive officer's 1995 salary by $50,000 to $450,000 and (iv) determined that the formula for computing the chief executive officer's 1995 bonus (to be paid in early 1996) would be one-half of one percent of the Company's pre-tax income. The formula for 1995 is the same as the formula that was used in determining the chief executive officer's bonuses with regard to 1993 and 1992. However, in December 1993, at the same time the Compensation Committee determined to increase the formula for computing the 1994 bonuses of Stuart A. Miller and Steven J. Saiontz, the Compensation Committee also decided (on the chief executive officer's recommendation) to reduce the chief executive officer's bonus to one-third of one percent of 1994 pre-tax income. Therefore, a 1995 bonus formula of one-half of one percent of pre-tax income will be an increase from the 1994 formula. Restricted stock awards are a percentage of the respective salaries of all full-time employees with at least one year's service with the Company or subsidiaries. The percentage of salary is fixed annually by the Board of Directors based upon the recommendation from the Company's management. The percentage of salary for 1994 was 1%. This is the same as the percentage for the preceding several years. The Compensation Committee does not make stock option grants. Stock options are granted by stock option committees appointed by the Board of Directors. However, the members of the Compensation Committee, all of whom are on the Board of Directors, are aware of stock option grants at the time they evaluate cash compensation. Stock options for all employees other than officers of Lennar Corporation are awarded by a stock option committee consisting of directors who are officers of the Company. Stock options are awarded to officers of Lennar Corporation by an Officers and Directors Committee consisting solely of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. There were only three stock option awards (aggregating 25,000 shares) made to officers of Lennar Corporation during 1994. None of these awards were made to the Company's five highest paid executive officers.

If any other matters properly come before the meeting, or any adjournments, the person or persons voting the management proxies will vote them in accordance with their best judgment. AUDITORS Deloitte & Touche audited the Company's financial statements for the year ended November 30, 1994. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to answer questions. They will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they wish to do so. In 1994, the Company's Board of Directors, acting on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, approved the retention of Deloitte & Touche to audit the Company's financial statements at November 30, 1994 and for the year ending on that date. KPMG Peat Marwick audited the Company's financial statements for the year ended November 30, 1993 and for a number of years before that. The decision to replace KPMG Peat Marwick with Deloitte & Touche was based solely on cost considerations. Early in fiscal 1994, the Company invited KPMG Peat Marwick and three other firms it considered to be qualified to submit proposals for the audit of the Company's financial statements for the five fiscal years ending November 30, 1994 through 1998. Upon review of the proposals, the Company selected Deloitte & Touche, because it submitted the lowest cost proposal. Neither KPMG Peat Marwick's report on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993, nor its report on the financial statements for the year ended November 30, 1992, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Neither in connection with the audits by KPMG Peat Marwick of the financial statements for those years, nor during any subsequent interim period, were there disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG Peat Marwick, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. Deloitte & Touche has, for a number of years, assisted the Company in the preparation of tax returns and with regard to other tax related matters. The Company did not, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years, or during any subsequent interim period, consult Deloitte & Touche regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements on which Deloitte & Touche provided a written report or written or oral advice which Deloitte & Touche concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K. The Board of Directors has not at this time selected an accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ending November 30, 1995. The selection will be discussed at a meeting of the Board of Directors to be held after the Company's April 4, 1995 Annual Meeting. 10 STOCKHOLDERS' PROPOSALS FOR NEXT YEAR'S ANNUAL MEETING Proposals which stockholders wish included in next year's Proxy Statement must be received at the Company's principal executive offices at Seven Hundred N.W. 107th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33172 no later than October 12, 1995.
