PHOENIX (April 13, 2026) -- KB Home announced April 8 that it will relocate its corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to the Phoenix metro area, with the move to Hayden Ferry Lakeside in Tempe set to begin in spring 2027.
In its official announcement, the company said the new headquarters will bring executive leadership and key corporate functions together in a more central location designed to lower KB Home’s cost structure over time. The homebuilder said the Phoenix metro area offers a business-friendly operating environment that is expected to enhance efficiency and support long-term profitability.
“This move brings our teams together in a more collaborative environment, and Phoenix is the right place to do it,” said Robert McGibney, president and chief executive officer of KB Home. “It positions KB Home to operate more effectively and supports the next phase of our growth.”
KB Home said the Tempe office will be located at Hayden Ferry Lakeside, a site with convenient access to major transportation, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The company said the move builds on its existing operational foundation in Arizona, where some key corporate functions and leadership are already based in Phoenix, and gives the builder a more geographically central and accessible base within its nationwide footprint.
The relocation adds another major corporate headquarters move to metro Phoenix, which has continued to attract businesses seeking lower costs and a more favorable operating climate than California. Analysts have said Arizona’s relative affordability and business-friendly environment continue to draw both residents and companies from the West Coast, particularly from Southern California.
The move also provides another win for the Valley office market, particularly in Tempe, which has been one of metro Phoenix’s stronger submarkets as office demand has gradually improved.
KB Home emphasized that it will continue to maintain a significant presence in California through its six operating divisions. The company said it has built tens of thousands of homes in the state over the years and remains committed to California homebuyers, with more than 100 communities currently open statewide.
