CEO Today USA Awards 2023 - 38 - - WASHINGTON - In 2009, Doug Bauer, Tom Mitchell and Mike Grubbs shared a vision and concept for a new kind of homebuilding companyone driven by home design that provides homebuyers and their families with a lifetime of experiences. That year, the economic downturn crippled many industries. However, they recognized this time as an opportunity to bring their vision to life. They drew upon their 25+ years of homebuilding know-how to create TRI Pointe Homes®. TRI Pointe Homes quickly became a publicly held company, trading under “TPH” on the NYSE. It was the first IPO in homebuilding to emerge after the downturn. Within 5 years, the company merged with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), which operated five distinct homebuilding companies in seven states, and became TRI Pointe Group®. This merger created one of the top 10 largest public homebuilding companies in the United States based on revenue. Just six years later, TRI Pointe Group and its six regional homebuilding brands, composed of TRI Pointe Homes in California, Colorado and the Carolinas; Maracay® in Arizona; Pardee Homes® in California and Nevada; Quadrant Homes® in Washington; Trendmaker® Homes in Texas; and Winchester® Homes1 in Maryland and Northern Virginia had delighted more than 28,000 homeowners, establishing 330 beautiful neighborhoods and 15 incredible masterplan communities, and winning over 270 separate awards, while supporting more than 150 community causes. In 2021, this innovative, design-forward company became Tri Pointe Homes, a unified brand that brings the best of big and small to all its homebuyers, with operations in 10 states and the District of Columbia. As Tri Pointe Homes, the company continues to support and celebrate the longevity of team members and their local-market expertise and relationships. Douglas Bauer CEO of Tri Pointe Homes, Inc.
