“We are thrilled to make the dream of homeownership a reality for Sergeant McCoy, his wife Linda and their son Solomon, and welcome them to the PulteGroup family,” said Rebecca Lundberg, President of PulteGroup’s Arizona Division. “There is no better way to demonstrate our support and appreciation for our nation’s heroes than by doing what we do best: building homes.”

Built specifically for the McCoy family, the new construction single-family home will be 1,915 square feet, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home will be ready for the family to move in during the fall of this year.

This will be the third home dedicated in Arizona through the Built to Honor program. PulteGroup has awarded the home in partnership with Building Homes for Heroes®, a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing renewed hope and service to injured veterans.
