Taylor Morrison Homes closes Tampa office, lays off workers

Taylor Morrison Homes is closing its Tampa divisional headquarters and merging operations with its Sarasota office.

An undisclosed number of people will lose their jobs with the closing of the office at 12802 Tampa Oaks Blvd. in Temple Terrace, including Tampa division president Michael Storey.

Taylor Morrison is the region's 6th largest builder. Through November 2008, annual closings totaled 214 in the Tampa Bay area. The company cited declining home sales for its decision to consolidate offices.

The company was created in 2007 with the merger of two British builders: Morrison Homes and Taylor Woodrow Homes.

Taylor Morrison is expected to continue building in Tampa area neighborhoods. It's been active in places like Connerton and Stonebriar in Land O'Lakes, Ladera in Lutz, Fish Hawk Ranch in Lithia and K-Bar Ranch north of Tampa.
