Despite these challenges, Toll Brothers did have one aspect in its favor, and that was that it had a 53% increase in the net value of contracts signed. This will translate into promising positive trends.
This company, in partnership with Willton Investment Management, secured a large $86 million construction loan for Lumara, which is a sophisticated 456-unit rental community in Phoenix.
