Taylor Morrison and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to Film in Phoenix and Support Local, Deserving Families and Cancer Patients

ABC's reboot of the award-winning show culminates with two uniquely different projects in the greater Phoenix metro  

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The ABC reboot of the award-winning show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is coming to Phoenix this September to film two uniquely different construction projects alongside the show's first-ever exclusive homebuilder, Taylor Morrison.

Taylor Morrison will build a brand-new home in its La Mira community in Mesa, Ariz., for a local deserving family and add an approximately 2,000 sq. ft. community center to the recently built community of homes in Gilbert, Ariz., where Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center patients and their care partners stay free of charge during the course of their treatment.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older as of Sept. 11, 2024. 

"The heart of Taylor Morrison lies in our unwavering commitment to better the local community in any way that we can," said Brad Schoenberg, Phoenix Division President at Taylor Morrison. "Being a homebuilder headquartered in Arizona, our Phoenix division feels especially charged to leave a positive mark, and the opportunity to work with such a recognizable franchise is a great way to do so."

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition takes the biggest home renovation show to ever exist, adds hosts Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit and their world-renowned organizational expertise, and creates the ultimate home makeover experience. Like the original, the upcoming series will showcase heartwarming stories and mind-blowing builds for families who give back to their communities.

The show's finale will feature construction of a community center located in the heart of the community of homes built and donated by Taylor Morrison earlier this year in support of the Banner Health Foundation's Home Away From Home program. The 1,000 sq. ft, fully furnished homes equipped with private backyards are within walking distance of Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center at Banner Gateway Medical Center, eliminating the financial burden of travel and hotel stays for approximately 80 patients and their families each year so they can focus on recovery in a comfortable environment. 

"The community center will serve as a space where patients and caregivers can come together and connect with those who understand how heavy it can feel to go through cancer treatment," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO. "Caregivers are truly the backbone of the cancer treatment process, and we hope that they can lean on one another in their relaxing and thoughtfully designed community center, complete with the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's magic touch."

The Phoenix episodes will be filmed on Wednesday, Sept. 11, through Friday, Sept. 20, where Taylor Morrison, the homebuilder's local and national trade partners, and 2,000 volunteers will be involved in an around-the-clock operation to build the new home and community center. The public is invited to attend the grand reveal at La Mira and help welcome the deserving family into their new home during the show's iconic 'Move That Bus!' moment.

"As we approach the season finale's filming, we can't help but reflect on what a wonderful experience it's been to support deserving families, work with volunteers and production, and share the journey with Taylor Morrison as the exclusive homebuilder," said Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit.

Upon completion, the deserving families will be welcomed into thoughtfully designed homes and spaces built by Taylor Morrison, finished with organized spaces complimentary of The Home Edit, creating stress-free and memorable move-ins.

Taylor Morrison has an existing partnership with The Home Edit, a part of Hello Sunshine, which is a division of Candle Media, that began in 2023 when the homebuilder and home-organization company teamed up to reduce the stress known for accompanying a move, all while adding some fun and function into the process. Curated organization tips centered around a move are featured in the New Home, New Zones video series, and extensions of the partnership are underway to bring The Home Edit's organizational products and services directly into Taylor Morrison homes.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition returns to ABC in 2025, and episodes will stream next day on Hulu.
