In 1984 Tom Lewis joined Trammell Crow Residential as its Regional Partner in the southwest. Based in Phoenix, their primary business was multi-family development and management. In 1986 Tom started Trammell Crow Homes. In 1991, Tom purchased his partner's interest in Trammell Crow Homes and founded T.W. Lewis Company. For the next 20 years, T.W. Lewis earned a solid reputation for quality and customer satisfaction and was considered by many to be one of the best homebuilding companies in America. T.W. Lewis Company won many prestigious awards, including America's Best Builder in 1998 and the National Housing Quality Gold Award in 2009. In recognition of the consistent performance of T.W. Lewis, Tom Lewis was the 1st inductee into the National Housing Quality Hall of Fame. In 2012, Tom transitioned out of homebuilding and sold that portion of the business to David Weekley Homes, a large private homebuilding company who shared the values of quality and outstanding customer service. From 2012 thru 2016, T.W. Lewis actively engaged as a partner with David Weekley Homes in Phoenix. We are now focusing on philanthropy, luxury leasing & sales, and other real estate investments. For over 25 years our principles and values have remained the same. We continue to emphasize integrity, quality and long term relationships with all of our investments and philanthropy. Formed in 2000 by Tom and Jan Lewis, the T.W. Lewis Foundation works to improve the quality of life for others by helping people and organizations reach their potential. The Foundation supports non-profits that help children and families in need, build character and encourage civic engagement in our youth, strengthen America, and make the Phoenix metropolitan area a better place to live.
