Toll Brothers, Inc. of Fort Washington has been named the “#1 Most Admired Home Builder” in Fortune Magazine’s 2026 list. The announcement marks the ninth time the company has received the honor.
Fortune and its partner Korn Ferry conducted the 2026 survey with 685 of the world’s highest-revenue companies across 51 industries and 29 countries. Executives, directors, and Wall Street analysts were asked to rate companies in their own industries on nine criteria, ranging from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent.
“We are honored to once again be recognized as the #1 Home Builder on Fortune’s 2026 World’s Most Admired Companies list,” said Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Toll Brothers’ chairman and CEO. “This incredible recognition reflects our dedication to excellence throughout our nearly 60 years of building luxury homes. I would like to thank every Toll Brothers employee for their unwavering commitment to delivering extraordinary quality, value, and service to our customers. It is an honor to be acknowledged within our industry, as well as within the broader business community worldwide.”
“Fortune is proud to celebrate the companies on this year’s World’s Most Admired Companies list; they have set the bar for real innovation, resilient leadership, and global impact,” said Alyson Shontell, Fortune’s Editor in Chief and Chief Content Officer. “As rapidly advancing technologies such as AI transform entire industries, these organizations stand out for their ability to evolve with purpose and foresight, consistently shaping the path forward for global business, and the future of how we work and lead.”
The company was honored with the Master Plan Community of the Year Award, six Grand Awards, and 18 Merit Awards at the annual Gold Nugget Awards in June. In July, Toll Brothers was named to the Fortune 500 list.
