Who is Trumark?

With over 30 years of experience, we’re no strangers to the homebuilding industry. However, with our new Colorado Division, we thought we would take the time to re-introduce ourselves.

Hello, we’re Trumark Homes. We are a multi-disciplinary development company with neighborhoods in Northern and Southern California, and soon, Colorado! Since our genesis, we have always strived to set ourselves apart from other builders. We do this by looking ahead. We make sure that the products we are providing are the best for our homebuyers; that they fit into life today and in the future; that the surroundings are inviting and purposeful. When we Trumark our homes, it is because they reach every one of these criteria. 

Trumarking History

It all started with two business school students at San Jose State University, Gregg Nelson and Mike Maples. What started as entitling and selling lots together, bloomed into the formation of Trumark Companies in 1988. We began with Trumark Commercial in 1996, with focus on mixed-use entitlements and value-add residential. Then, in 2008, Trumark Homes was born. We started building in promising locations throughout California and have since developed more than 4,000 homes. In 2012, we expanded to Trumark Urban, and built eight projects in San Francisco and Los Angeles! Just a year later, we dove into master-planned community development with Trumark Communities. Most recently, in 2020, Trumark Homes entered into an agreement with Japan-based housing, construction, and development giant, Daiwa House Group, who acquired a majority interest in Trumark Companies. With this acquisition, we’ve been able to accelerate the growth of the company. 

Through perseverance, we’ve come so far as a company. In the last three years, we’ve been nationally recognized as Builder of the Year by Professional Builder and Developer of the Year by Builder & Developer. We are so proud of our history and we can’t wait to move forward with our talented team in Colorado.

Tru Charity

Our biggest drive to fostering a successful home-building company is the ability to give back. We are partnered with Charity:Water to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. For every 50 new homes we build and sell, we are able to provide water for 200 people! Since our partnership, we’ve helped over 7,500 people and completed 20 wells with nine wells in progress.
