Taylor Morrison has long history of prestigious awards

Taylor Morrison has a long history of homebuilding success and customer satisfaction. The company’s homes and communities reflect the generations of experience that Taylor Morrison has accrued over the past 130 years.

The company’s vibrant designs and carefully constructed neighborhoods are the reasons Taylor Morrison has been inducted into both the Builder magazine Hall of Fame and the Best in American Living Award (BALA) Hall of Fame, which is sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.

In addition, Taylor Morrison’s Southern California division has garnered 15 Builder’s Choice Awards from Builder magazine, while Taylor Morrison’s West Florida division was voted “Best Customer Experience” among large U.S. homebuilders in 2009 and the company’s Austin division was named “Top Homebuilder” according to sales volume by the Austin Business Journal in 2012.

Our Darling Homes brand was awarded the McSam Award “Realtor’s Choice Builder of the Year” by Home Builders Association of Greater Dallas in 2011. In Canada, Monarch was awarded the Gold Award in the “Condominium Builder” category in the Toronto Sun Reader’s Choice Awards in 2012.
Taylor Morrison’s commitment to its customer goes beyond building a great home. It extends to the complete buying experience, drawing on values held important for more than 100 years – honesty, integrity and a quality of standards that ensures your home is everything you expected.

Today, Taylor Morrison communities are currently under construction in North America, drawing accolades from home buyers and industry experts alike. In the United States we are building Taylor Morrison communities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida and Texas. Darling Homes currently builds in Dallas and Houston, Texas. In Canada, Monarch builds single-family homes and high rise condominiums in Toronto and Ottawa.

Clearly, Taylor Morrison is making a commitment of honesty, integrity and a quality of standards to every customer who chooses to call a Taylor Morrison community home.
