PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM), America's third-largest homebuilding company, today announced the appointment of Chase Turner as president of its Utah division. With more than 20 years of homebuilding and land acquisition experience, Turner will lead all strategic and operational activities for the division as PulteGroup continues its successful entry into the Utah market.
"We've made great strides establishing ourselves in Utah and are building toward becoming one of the market leaders in the greater Salt Lake City metro and Utah market," said PulteGroup West Area President Chris Edgar. "Chase's wealth of experience in strategy, land acquisition, and operational execution will complement the talent we already have on our team as we continue that growth."
Turner joins PulteGroup from Century Communities, where he most recently served as Division President for the Utah Division.
"Utah represents one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing markets in the country, and I'm excited to join PulteGroup at this pivotal time," said Turner. "I look forward to working with the talented Utah team to deliver exceptional homes and communities that meet the strong demand we're seeing in the Utah market."
Since PulteGroup's entrance into Utah in 2023, the Company has launched successful communities including Deep Creek at Jordanelle Ridge, Mountain Vista at Sunset Flats and Salem Foothills. The early success of these communities, along with a strong land pipeline, position the division for continued growth and expansion.
Utah's robust population growth has created significant demand for new housing. State officials have recognized the need for increased construction. Turner's leadership experience positions PulteGroup's Utah division to play a meaningful role in bringing high-quality housing options to meet this growing demand.
"The state of Utah has acknowledged the critical need for additional housing inventory, and PulteGroup is well-positioned to help address this challenge," Turner added. "With our proven ability to deliver quality homes and create thriving communities, we're excited to be part of the solution while becoming a major force in Utah homebuilding."
