Scott Schaefer’s Summary

Few industries have been impacted as radically as the real estate development and homebuilding industries by the rapidly changing concepts of green and sustainable.

The time came where better ideas were needed. New urban planning and architectural models are creating smart solutions to problems such as sprawl, while redefining the urban landscape. New Urbanism, green-building and sustainable development are the new paradigm, and they are redefining Dallas and America.

As the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Lexington Luxury Builders in Dallas, I build luxury custom homes in some of the finest neighborhoods in the Dallas Metroplex. For more than 20 years, I have specialized in developing and building well located custom homes and luxury townhomes - and the urban neighborhoods in which they are built - along with suburban urban transit oriented developments.

Lexington Luxury Builders, is committed to New Urbanism, green building, sustainable development practices and promoting higher environmental and ecological standards. We transcend industry standards in our fields of discipline, and have evolved into a preeminent developer of new urbanism neighborhoods and transit oriented residential communities in Texas.

Our custom homes are inextricably designed with their neighborhoods, balanced with the natural landscape and the built environment. Each home that I build is designed to balance the owners needs to live, work and play, with luxurious, energy efficient, healthy homes, which are respectful of the history, heritage and ecology of the communities in which we build.

Prior to forming Lexington, I was a principal with a Dallas-based real estate, private equity firm until June 1996. I developed a strong background in finance, starting my career at Taylor Financial Services in June 1982 as a Financial Analyst, serving in various capacities, up through Vice President Real Estate, until my departure in 1986.
