December 20 2017 - 1:07PM
PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM) announced today that company founder
William J. Pulte was inducted into the Home Builders Association of
Southeastern Michigan (HBA) Hall of Fame. This award and
recognition represents the highest honor the organization can
bestow upon a member.
“Our honorees have shaped the current residential
landscape of Southeastern Michigan and are diligently creating its
future,” said Michael Stoskopf, CEO of the HBA. “It is a pleasure
and an honor to acknowledge their accomplishments.”
The award is presented annually to those who have demonstrated
exceptional qualities of leadership over the years, and who display
exemplary devotion to their industry and their community as a
whole. The Hall of Fame recognizes members who have made the
greatest contributions since the formation of the Association back
in 1928.
From his humble roots as a Detroit native, Pulte created a
company that has built over 680,000 homes since its founding in
1950. In 1969, William J. Pulte, Inc. became Pulte Home Corporation
and went public with Pulte as chairman and president. The Company
remains one of the nation’s largest homebuilders generating $7.5
billion in homebuilding revenue in 2016. Pulte announced his
retirement in 2010, following the 60th anniversary of the company,
and the same year Fortune magazine recognized Pulte Homes as one of
the world’s most admired companies. The company employs 4,500
people and is the nation's leading multi-brand homebuilder,
capable of serving homeowners during all phases of life under its
Centex, Pulte Homes, Del Webb, DiVosta Homes, and John Wieland
Homes and Neighborhoods brands.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the HBA and inducted into
their Hall of Fame, said Bill Pulte, founder of PulteGroup. “I
consider myself incredibly lucky to have never worked a day in my
life, because I truly loved what I did and the tremendous people I
got to work with.”
The Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan honored
the 2017 Industry Leadership Award honorees at the association’s
Awards Night and Holiday Celebration held at The Diamond Center at
Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Robert Pulte, son of William
J. Pulte, accepted the award on his father’s behalf. Nearly 400
members and guests attended the event which is an annual
celebration for local builders, land developers, remodelers and
suppliers to the home construction industry.
