PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM) announced today that company founder
and industry icon, William J. Pulte, passed away today. Bill,
who was 85 years old, had retired from the Company in 2010.
Bill’s life reads as a true American success story, as he built
his first home by hand at the age of 18 and his first complete
subdivision before the age of 30. Known for designing value
and innovative features into his floor plans, Bill soon expanded to
other markets including Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington,
DC. He was most recently named to the Home Builders
Association of Southeastern Michigan Hall of Fame in December
2017.
“Very few people live their lives with the passion and joy that
Bill experienced every day,” said Ryan Marshall, PulteGroup
President and CEO. “A true innovator and recognized icon in
the industry, Bill has made a lasting impact on the history of
homebuilding.”
“Bill’s simple beliefs of building quality homes and delighting
the customer are woven into the very fabric of the company he
founded and we carry on that legacy today,” added Marshall.
Founded in Detroit, MI, in 1950, PulteGroup has grown into one
of the nation’s largest and most successful homebuilding companies
having delivered more than 700,000 homes over the past six-plus
decades.
