Forty years ago, on July 16, 1986, Toll Brothers became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), marking an important milestone in the company’s history.

To celebrate the Company’s 40th anniversary of its initial public offering (IPO), a congratulatory message was displayed on the iconic digital cubes overlooking the NYSE trading floor.

The Foundation for Decades of Growth

Since Toll Brothers was founded in 1967, and throughout the past four decades as a public company, the growth of Toll Brothers has been driven by the dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, and the Company’s continued commitment to quality and excellence. Today, Toll Brothers is the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, with operations spanning more than 60 markets across the country. The strength of the Toll Brothers brand, broad geographic footprint, and wide variety of home offerings and price points continue to differentiate the Company.
