PulteGroup, Inc., commonly referred to as PulteGroup, is an American homebuilding company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, constructing single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums for a broad range of markets. The company operates nationwide and markets homes under several brand names, focusing on new residential construction and related services.

The firm’s origins trace to Pulte Homes, founded in the 1950s by William J. Pulte in Michigan, as a builder of affordable, mass-produced houses. Over the decades it expanded geographically and product lines, eventually becoming a public company. In 2009 the company broadened through the acquisition of Centex Corp.; the combined operations were reorganized under the PulteGroup name and the company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the PHM ticker.

The group has also developed the Del Webb active-adult brand and continues to market homes under Pulte Homes, Del Webb, and other brands in various markets. The company emphasizes design flexibility, energy efficiency, and customer-directed customization, with homes ranging from entry-level to luxury.

PulteGroup operates in numerous U.S. markets, and as a publicly traded company it is subject to housing market cycles. It maintains corporate governance through a board and management team and uses a mix of land development, homebuilding, and financing activities to support its operations.
