Toll Brothers, Inc. · Horsham, PA United States ·(NYSE: TOL)

Ask not for whom the Tolls build, because if you have to ask you can't afford it. Toll Brothers, a top US builder of luxury homes, builds for move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, and second-home buyer markets in more than 300 suburban communities in some two dozen states. Its single-family detached homes and apartments range from $229,000 to about $2.16 million. Toll Brothers develops active-adult communities (some with golf courses) and operates country club communities. Through subsidiaries, it offers insurance, landscaping, and title and mortgage services. Toll delivered nearly 8,600 homes in 2006 but that figure dropped precipitously to about 6,700 in 2007 and just over 4,800 in 2008. To read the full description, subscribe now.
