Growing up with both my father and grandfather immersed in the real estate scene helped me recognize the important role family plays in my professional life

Chicago (PRWEB) March 18, 2009

From the drawing room to the family room, third generation Chicago developer, Geoffrey Ruttenberg, attributes his personal success to the inspiration he finds in his own family circle. With more than 20 years in the real estate industry and a dedicated, single, 42-year-old father of two, Ruttenberg channeled his inner-dad to conceptualize his latest project, CA23's, innovative and family-friendly features.

"Growing up with both my father and grandfather immersed in the real estate scene helped me recognize the important role family plays in my professional life," said Geoffrey Ruttenberg, president/CEO, The Brixton Group. "When I begin working on a new project, I always keep in mind the neighborhood charm, living features and amenities I look for in a home. I don't feel like a project is complete until I can picture myself living in each and every unit and enjoying the amenities with my children," he added.

Nestled in the growing West Loop community, CA23 is a multi-unit development designed to give homeowners the benefits of suburban living in a city landscape. With a spacious, single floor living design, convertible rooms that easily transition from den to nursery to playroom and center atrium for extra natural light, CA23 offers a perfect mix of style and comfort for couples and growing families, alike.

Known for his high-end projects, which reflect his own personal taste and sophistication, Ruttenberg admits that the majority of his inspiration for creating homes comes from his everyday experiences and personal routines, resulting in high-quality, convenient and comfortable home choices for buyers.

Ruttenberg shares his favorite must-have features to create the perfect family dwelling:

•     Room to Play: A dedicated outdoor space for fresh air, whether an attached terrace or neighborhood park, promotes an active and healthy lifestyle
•     Open Spaces: A floor plan that flows from the living room to an exposed kitchen allows everyone to spend time together. From tackling homework to getting dinner on the table, an open layout gets everyone involved
•     Natural Light: Nothing beats a sunrise or sunset, and what better way to enjoy natural wonders than through floor-to-ceiling windows, atriums and skylights
•     Upgrades Included: No longer just the "finer things in life," top-of-the-line appliances, quality floors and marble, limestone or granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom are great ways to make everyone feel right home

"The most exciting and important part of designing community homes is allowing my personality and style to shine through in every project. From traditional, yet trendy spaces, to artistic elements such as curved walls, each and every development includes a signature Brixton Group feature," Geoffrey said. "What better way to put my knowledge of design and real estate, along with my experience as a father to use than to help other families enjoy their time together and their living space."
