In an effort to better reflect the new size and scope of its operations, TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. ("TRI Pointe Homes") (NYSE: TPH) announced today the rebranding of the company as TRI Pointe Group.

TRI Pointe Homes’ $2.8 billion merger last July with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company ("WRECO") was one of the biggest in homebuilding industry history and positioned the Company as a top-10 U.S. public homebuilder by equity market capitalization. The rebrand to TRI Pointe Group not only signifies a new identity, but also a new national company of premium regional homebuilders comprised of Maracay Homes in Arizona; Pardee Homes in California and Nevada; Quadrant Homes in Washington; Trendmaker Homes in Texas; TRI Pointe Homes in California and Colorado; and Winchester Homes in the Washington, D.C. area.

The company plans to reorganize its corporate structure with a new holding company parent to be named TRI Pointe Group. It expects to complete the reorganization in the second quarter of 2015. TRI Pointe Homes will continue its homebuilding operations in California and Colorado as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group.

TRI Pointe Group is the brainchild of three industry veterans Doug Bauer, Mike Grubbs and Tom Mitchell. “Our new organization combines the significant financial resources, operational sophistication and thought leadership of a national organization with the local insight, passion and expertise of a leading regional homebuilder,” said CEO Doug Bauer. “We are a dramatically different homebuilder today than we were a year ago, but the one thing that remains constant in our organization is our commitment to excellence.”

This commitment to excellence was evident in the 67 awards earned in 2014 by TRI Pointe Group’s family of homebuilders, including 2014 Developer of the Year by Builder and Developer magazine, a national home building publication based in Newport Beach, Calif.

According to the magazine, this annual award was bestowed upon TRI Pointe Group in recognition of the company’s unique ability to deliver products, services and experiences beyond the conventions of the industry.

“While the leadership and access to capital have been major factors in catapulting TRI Pointe Group onto the national stage, the company’s emergence as a top ten builder would not have been possible if the quality and character of its communities did not measure up to its business prowess,” said Builder and Developer Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Nick Slevin.

Additional details about TRI Pointe Group will be discussed during the upcoming Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Earnings Conference Call, taking place at 7:00am Pacific (10:00am Eastern) on Tuesday, March 3, 2015.
