Robert I. Toll stated: “While I felt it was time to step back from a formal Board role at Toll Brothers, my interest in the Company remains strong. I am extremely proud of what has been accomplished by Doug and his team since I stepped down as CEO nearly twelve years ago. Since my brother and I founded the Company 55 years ago, it has grown from a small Philadelphia homebuilder to a branded national presence as America’s Luxury Home Builder.
