Berkshire Hathaway has completed its acquisition of Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash, representing a total equity value of $6.8 billion.
“Today marks an important step forward as Taylor Morrison joins Berkshire,” Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel said. “This best-in-class national home builder will lead our vision for a unified site-built home building operation. Together, we will help more Americans achieve their dream of homeownership.”
Taylor Morrision will continue to be led by CEO Sheryl Palmer, who will oversee the integration of Taylor Morrision’s portfolio of brands, including resort lifestyle focused Esplanade, build-to-rent focused Yardly, and Taylor Morrison Home Funding, with Berkshire Hathaway’s site-built operations. Berkshire Hathaway’s site-build operations comprise Clayton Properties Group, a collection of 15 regional and local builders. The combined operation will serve renters as well as the entry-level, move-up, and resort lifestyle segments.
“We have always believed in the strength of our business, and today Berkshire Hathaway has confirmed that belief,” Palmer said. “As we enter this new chapter, the scale and reach we gain by unifying with Berkshire and Clayton’s regional site-built home builders is transformative. We’ll now serve more customers, in more markets, with more choices—while maintaining the specialized local expertise that has made us successful. We’re thrilled to build upon that success as we scale to create a combined home building platform unlike anything in the industry.”
Combined, Taylor Morrison (No. 6 on the 2026 Builder 100 list) and Clayton Properties Group (No. 12) delivered nearly 23,000 site-built home closings in 2025. The combined platform has a portfolio stretching across 21 states and 52 housing markets and combined closings would place the company as fourth largest company on the Builder 100 list.
The transaction is the third deal of 2026 involving a private buyer purchasing a public builder, following Sumitomo Forestry’s $4.5 billion purchase of Tri Pointe Homes and Stanley Martin Homes’ $221 million purchase of United Homes Group. In the past two years, M.D.C. Holdings and Landsea Homes have also been taken private through acquisitions.
