Dive Brief:

• Builder magazine called Irvine, CA,-based TRI Pointe Group the fastest-growing homebuilder in the country and named it as its 2015 Builder of the Year.

• TRI Point Group is a family of regional builders started in 2009—mid-recession—as TRI Pointe Homes. The builder, which specializes in single-family homes and townhouses, went public in 2013, and it acquired Weyerhaeuser’s homebuilding subsidiary, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Co., last year.
