Wall Homes to Double Size with Acquisition of Dallas/Fort Worth Division of Newmark Homes

ARLINGTON, Texas, May 10  /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Wall, founder and CEO of Wall Homes, a homebuilding company based in Arlington, Texas, and Newmark Homes, a subsidiary of TOUSA (NYSE:TOA) have announced that Wall Homes has entered into an agreement to acquire a substantial amount of the assets of the Dallas/Fort Worth division of Newmark Homes, including raw land, site developments, finished lots, and construction in process.

With the acquisition, Wall Homes will increase its active neighborhoods in Texas to nearly 50 from 28.

"This is an amazing opportunity for Wall Homes," said Steve Wall. "Newmark parallels Wall's market focus and dedication to customer service and satisfaction.  With the acquisition, we begin our third year in business at twice the size we were at the end of our second year. It's a great fit."

Newmark has built and sold homes throughout Texas and Tennessee for more than 20 years.  In the DFW area, Newmark's 20+ active communities, with prices ranging from $126,000's-$400,000's, will become Wall Homes neighborhoods effective early June.

The sale does not affect other Newmark divisions.

Until closing, which is anticipated for May 31, 2007, Wall Homes will conduct employee evaluations and consideration of reassignments within the expanded Wall organization.

The purchase follows a pattern of steady growth established by Wall since its founding.
