Trumark Co-Founders Inducted Into CA Homebuilding Hall Of Fame

SAN RAMON, CA - Michael Maples and Gregg Nelson, the co-founders of Trumark Companies, were inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation’s Hall of Fame. Now in its 35th year, the Hall of Fame Gala honors professionals who exemplify the foundation’s mission of “forging a bright future for the next generation of homebuilders.”

Maples and Nelson started Trumark Companies together in 1988. For 35 years, the company has spearheaded a number of award-winning projects, including Wallis Ranch, The Pacific, and The Collective. In 2008, the pair launched Trumark Homes, which has developed more than 4,000 homes across California. In 2020, the company entered into an agreement with Japan-based Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd., which acquired a majority interest. This allowed Trumark the company to begin its first projects outside California, in northern Colorado.

Trumark has also been active in charitable work. Trumark Homes supports housing nonprofits like CBIA, the California Homebuilding Foundation, and regional HomeAid chapters. It has also served as the builder captain for Crosswinds Church’s Tiny Home Village, which provides shelter to 28 previously unhoused individuals in Livermore.

Through a partnership with the nonprofit charity: water, Trumark Homes has provided clean water to more than 10,000 people around the world.

“Our mission is to enhance the lives of people by creating inspiring living environments, and our commitment to excellence hasn’t wavered for 35 years,” Managing Member Michael Maples said in a statement. “With our teams in Northern and Southern California and Colorado, and with the support of Daiwa House Group, we share this honor and will continue to execute our vision to design and build exceptional new home communities.”

“We are humbled to receive this honor and join an esteemed group of peers in the California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame,” Trumark Co-CEO Gregg Nelson said in a statement. “We set out to establish a unique and distinct approach to home building that is centered on delivering cutting-edge design, quality craftsmanship and innovative advances. We are immensely proud of the reputation Trumark Homes has earned in this industry.”
