JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Taylor Morrison has named Jeremy Hampson as president of its Jacksonville division. Hampson brings nearly 15 years of experience in the homebuilding industry to his new role.
“Jeremy’s strong leadership, work ethic, and deep understanding of the Florida market will make him an exceptional addition to our team as we look to expand across the Jacksonville region,” said Area President Steve Kempton. “We are thrilled to welcome him on board and are confident his experience developing successful large-scale master-planned communities will be especially valuable as we continue to grow the division and build on the recent introduction of our Esplanade brand in Jacksonville.”
Prior to Taylor Morrison, Hampson was Division President of Florida for Freehold Capital Management and previously worked at Toll Brothers’ Jacksonville division for nearly 11 years in several project management and land acquisition roles, including VP of Land Acquisition most recently.

Hampson is also deeply involved in the Florida real estate community as a member of the Florida ULI Product Council for Community Development and the Association of Florida Community Developers. He has also served on the Northeast Florida Builders Association Board of Directors.
“The Jacksonville division has built an incredibly talented and dedicated team and I’m excited for what’s ahead,” said Hampson. “I’m deeply passionate about the Florida real estate community and look forward to working with this team to deliver exceptional homes, foster customer care, and make a real impact in the neighborhoods we serve.”
Taylor Morrison’s Jacksonville division currently has six open communities and recently opened for sales at its first Esplanade resort lifestyle community, Esplanade at St. Marys. Ideally located near the Georgia-Florida border, this highly anticipated 1,250-acre golf course community will bring more than 1,300 single-family homes, signature resort-style amenities, and wellness programs to the region. Planned amenities include an 18-hole championship golf course; Culinary Center with casual and upscale dining experiences; Wellness Center with state-of-the-art fitness center with saunas and cold plunge; signature spa services; tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts; resort-style pool and spa with towel services and pool-side cabanas; Bark Park; and walking trails.
