We cater to luxury first-time, move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, affordable luxury and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building Product”), as well as urban and suburban renters.

History

Toll Brothers was founded in 1967 in Pennsylvania by Robert I. Toll and Bruce E. Toll. Bob received a law degree from University of Pennsylvania and his B.A. from Cornell University, while his brother Bruce had an accounting degree from the University of Miami. Their father, Albert, built homes and the brothers believed that the new home industry had more to offer. Bruce was 26 and Robert was 27 at the time.[2]

Toll Brothers was incorporated as a Delaware corporation[3] with a public offering raising $40 million.[4]

Disputes

Toll Brothers was sued in April 2007 by a group of investors claiming they were misled by directors about their ability to maintain historically high-earnings during the downturn in the U.S. residential real estate market.[11] Toll Brothers agreed to settle suit for $25 million, though they did not admit any wrongdoing.[12]

Six residents at the Northside Piers development complained of faulty window seals that leaked in air and rain when windy.[13] The project gained notoriety in 2007 when a kettle of roofing tar on the top level caught fire during construction and although quickly contained produced a significant amount of smoke.[14] After meeting with the residents Toll Brothers agreed to fix the seals.[15] Toll Brothers sued the contractor who installed the windows for $10 million.[16]

In 2012, the company was required to pay a penalty of $741,000 for numerous alleged violations of the Clean Water Act, including more than 600 relating to runoff of stormwater at its building sites, among them sites in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.[17] Toll Brothers agreed to implement storm-water training and prevention techniques across the entire company.[18]
