One of the nation’s largest and most recognized homebuilders announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to Tempe.

The move will begin in spring of 2027. The shift will centralize executive leadership and key corporate functions. It will also reduce costs over time. Metro Phoenix offers a business-friendly environment that will boost efficiency and support long-term profitability.

KB Home will base its new headquarters at Hayden Ferry Lakeside in Tempe. The site provides easy access to major transportation, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The move builds on the company’s existing presence in Arizona and creates a more central, accessible hub within its national footprint.

KB Home, one of the largest and most recognized homebuilders in the U.S., today announced it is relocating its corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to the Phoenix metro area.

Beginning in spring 2027, KB Home will establish its new headquarters in Tempe, Arizona, bringing executive leadership and key corporate functions together in a more central location that will lower the company’s cost structure over time. The Phoenix metro area has a business-friendly operating environment that is expected to further enhance efficiency and support long-term profitability.

The new headquarters will be located at Hayden Ferry Lakeside in Tempe and offers convenient access to major transportation, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This location builds on KB Home’s existing operational foundation, including key corporate functions and leadership currently based in Phoenix, and provides a more geographically central and accessible base within the company’s nationwide footprint.

KB Home will continue to maintain a significant presence in California through its six operating divisions. Over the years, the company has built tens of thousands of homes across the state and remains deeply committed to serving California homebuyers, with more than 100 communities currently open statewide.

The plant can process up to 25,000 metric tons of end-of-life products containing magnets each year. Cyclic Materials will recover rare earth magnet concentrate through its Mag-Xtract™ process, along with critical materials such as copper, aluminum and steel.

Tempe-based Dutch Bros Coffee plans to acquire 51 former Salad and Go locations after the fast-casual chain filed for bankruptcy, with the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak contributing to its collapse. Court documents filed Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court identify a Dutch Bros-affiliated LLC as the buyer of dozens of Salad and Go restaurants in Arizona and Nevada, along with leases for additional former locations in Texas and Oklahoma. #saladandgo #dutchbros #dutchbroscoffee #tempeaz #drivethru
Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday and announced it will permanently close all of its locations, serving its final meals Wednesday. The Gilbert-founded drive-thru restaurant chain submitted voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston.

The company said declining consumer demand, rapid expansion challenges, and rising operating costs made its business unsustainable. Salad and Go also said the Cyclospora foodborne illness outbreak in July hurt sales, even though health officials did not link the chain to the contamination. #saladandgo #gilbertaz #cyclospora #bankruptcy #chapter11
