Houston, Texas (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

Horsham, PA, (November 27, 2012) – Toll Brothers, Inc. TOL, the nation's leading builder of luxury homes and four-time Texas Builder of the Year, recently purchased 692 acres in Montgomery County, the largest land contract for the national home builder since entering the Houston market in 2009.

The property, known as the Vaughan tract, will be the future home of approximately 1,350 luxury homes. The Company has estimated development to start in 2014.
