HOUSTON -- After a successful pilot episode in Hutto, Texas, America's Most Trusted® Home Builder, Taylor Morrison (NYSE: TMHC), is returning to film an upcoming episode of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in the Houston area. Taylor Morrison will serve as the first-ever exclusive homebuilder for the series and build a brand-new home for a local, deserving family.

The home will be located in Mason Woods, a Taylor Morrison community of approximately 300 acres nestled between Katy and Cypress.

Volunteer and donation opportunities are available to the public. To sign-up to volunteer or donate, visit: taylormorrison.com/Extreme-Makeover-Home-Edition-2024. Volunteers must be 18 years or older as of Aug. 17, 2024.

"Philanthropy runs through our veins as an organization, and the Houston team could not be more inspired to bring the community together during the build process," said Todd Rasmussen, Houston Division President at Taylor Morrison. "Building dream homes is what we do every day at Taylor Morrison, so it's a natural fit for us to do just that for a local family as part of this iconic show."

The Houston episode will be filmed August. 17, through Aug. 23, where Taylor Morrison, the homebuilder's local and national trade partners, and 2,000 volunteers will be involved in an around-the-clock operation to build a new home from the ground-up in under seven days.

"Filming the pilot episode with Taylor Morrison as our builder partner made for such a wonderful experience for everyone, from the deserving family we supported, to production, to volunteers, that we knew we wouldn't want to embark on this journey with any other homebuilder," said Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit.

Upon completion, the deserving families will be welcomed into thoughtfully designed homes built by Taylor Morrison, finished with organized spaces complimentary of The Home Edit, creating stress-free and memorable move-ins.

The “reveal day” on Friday, August 23 will be open to the public. The public is encouraged to wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes, to bring a water bottle, and to pack lots of sunscreen. For everyone’s safety, no children or dogs are permitted.

Taylor Morrison has an existing partnership with The Home Edit, a part of Hello Sunshine, which is a division of Candle Media, that began in 2023 when the homebuilder and home-organization company teamed up to reduce the stress known for accompanying a move, all while adding some fun and function into the process. Curated organization tips centered around a move are featured in the “New Home, New Zones” video series, and extensions of the partnership are underway to bring The Home Edit's organizational products and services directly into Taylor Morrison homes.
