In 1986, the company acquired Ryan Homes, which was founded in 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to provide housing in the expanding post-war economy.[5]

In April 1992, as a result of the early 1990s recession, the company filed bankruptcy.[6]

Controversies

In February 2010, then Attorney General of Delaware, Beau Biden, sued the company for fraud, seeking damages of $10,000 for each of 39 homeowners alleging that the company did not provide promised amenities, primarily a clubhouse with restaurant and fitness center, for homeowners of a development built by the company in Townsend, Delaware.[10] The lawsuit was settled in April 2010, with the company agreeing to complete development of the promised amenities and reimburse homeowners for the period of time when they have been paying for promised amenities that they did not receive.[11]
