Sumitomo Forestry Acquires Tri Pointe Homes in $4.5B US Housing Push
Tri Pointe Homes, one of the largest US homebuilders, has been acquired by Japan's Sumitomo Forestry in a deal worth around $4.1–4.5 billion. The purchase marks Sumitomo's entry into the major US residential construction market. Despite the takeover, the company will still release its fourth-quarter 2025 money results as planned.
The acquisition was announced in mid-February 2026. Sumitomo Forestry, a global forestry and housing firm, now gains a significant foothold in the US through Tri Pointe, which operates across 12 states and the District of Columbia.
Tri Pointe has earned widespread recognition for its performance and workplace culture. It was named Developer of the Year in 2024 and has won multiple Builder of the Year awards. The company also ranks among the 2026 Fortune World's Most Admired Companies and has appeared on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For® list in 2023 and 2025.
For five consecutive years (2021–2025), Tri Pointe was certified as a Great Place To Work™. It also featured on several Great Place To Work® Best Workplaces lists from 2022 to 2025. The firm is known for customer experience, innovative design, and sustainable business practices.
Following the acquisition, Tri Pointe has cancelled its scheduled earnings call for February 25, 2026. However, the company will still publish its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results before the market opens on that date.
The deal positions Sumitomo Forestry as a new player in the US housing sector. Tri Pointe's long-standing reputation for quality and workplace excellence remains intact. Financial updates will proceed as planned, though without the previously scheduled investor call.
