Taylor Morrison  is one of the largest North America based home building companies. Its corporate headquarters are in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The company formed when Taylor Woodrow and Morrison Homes joined forces in July, 2007. Taylor Morrison operates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas, building mid-to-upscale housing as well as first-time and mid-market homes. The company also operates in Canada, where conventional single-family homes as well as high-rise buildings in Toronto's urban core are marketed under the Monarch brand. 
History Taylor Woodrow was founded in 1921 by Frank Taylor and Jack Woodrow.  During the twenties, Lord Taylor’s new company concentrated on providing low- cost, high quality housing in the Lancashire area. In the 1930s, Taylor Woodrow diversified into building temporary hospitals, etc., and thereby moved into general construction. In 1936 Taylor Woodrow entered the Canadian construction market through the acquisition of Monarch Development Corporation, founded in 1917, one of Canada’s oldest, largest and most diversified real estate companies. In 1953 the company purchased a controlling interest in a newly established business, Monarch Mortgage and Investments Limited, which owned land, apartment complexes, stores, and houses in the Toronto area, and in 1994, entered into the high-rise sector.
