Phillips Builders Completes Transition to Meritage Homes with Single Brand Name
Meritage Homes announced today that Phillips Builders, a Nashville-based building company, has taken on the Meritage Homes brand name. Meritage Homes, one of the largest public home builders in the United States, acquired Phillips Builders in 2013 and maintained the subsidiary brand during a transitional period. It now operates under the name Meritage Homes, reflecting a unified identity for employees, partners and homeowners alike.
“Transitioning Phillips Builders entirely to the Meritage Homes brand allows us to bring Meritage’s scale and advanced building technologies under one roof,” said John Hennebery, Nashville Division President for Meritage Homes. “We are excited about the opportunity to continue building on our 65 years of experience in the Nashville market with Meritage’s latest home designs and innovative features.”
Meritage Homes is currently building in nine communities in the Nashville area, with new home prices starting from $273,900 to $475,990. Select communities offer homes with industry-leading energy-efficient features, such as spray-foam insulation and low-E windows. These money-saving features can cut heating and cooling costs by as much as 50% on average. With ENERGY STAR® appliances that reduce energy and water use, Meritage homes are EPA certified and provide significant energy-cost savings.
This commitment to energy efficiency is reflected in the many awards Meritage Homes has won over the years, including the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence award for five consecutive years. Meritage Homes was the first national builder to make every home built 100% ENERGY STAR® certified.
