RESUME SCOTT SCHAEFER PRESENT Chief Executive Officer Lexington Luxury Builders LLC Industries Website Lexington Blog Email Dallas, Texas June 1996 through Present Real Estate Developer and Homebuilder http://www.lexingtonluxurybuilders.com/ http://lexingtonblog.wordpress.com/ sschaefer@lexingtoncompanies.com LEXINGTON Luxury Builders LLC SUMMARY RESUME Few industries have been impacted as radically as the real estate development and homebuilding industries by the rapidly changing concepts of green and sustainability. Quite simply, the time came where better ideas were needed. New urbanism, as a school of thought, and the one to which I subscribe, is creating planning and architectural models that provide smart solutions to problems such as urban sprawl, transportation crises and climate change, while at the same time positively redefining the urban landscape. New Urbanism, green-building and sustainable-development are being embraced as the new paradigm. They are redefining Dallas and America. As the Founder and CEO of Lexington Luxury Builders in Dallas, I develop and build in some of the finest neighborhoods in the DFW Metroplex. For more than 25 years, since beginning my career in 1982, I have specialized in conceiving, developing and building well-located, suburban-urban custom homes, luxury townhomes and cutting-edge condominiums, and the new urban neighborhoods in which they are built. In this new millennium, I have also begun specializing in creating suburban urban transit oriented developments and luxury housing near fixed rail transit stations. 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 I build. Prior to going solo and forming Lexington, I was a principal with a Dallas-based full-service real estate/homebuilding/private equity firm from June 1986 until June 1996, where I gained tremendous construction and development experience. I developed a strong background in finance, starting my career at Taylor Financial Services in June 1982 as an intern. I worked my way up from there, next as a Financial Analyst, then serving in various capacities, up through Vice President - Real Estate until my departure in 1986.
