The real estate development and home building industries have been radically impacted by the rapidly expanding demand for green, sustainable products due to public concern over Climate Change. New urban planning and architectural models are creating smart solutions to issues such as Urban Sprawl, while redefining the urban landscape. New Urbanism, green-building and sustainable development practices have become the new paradigm, and they are redefining Dallas and America.
Student and practitioner of New Urbanism before the moniker became common, Schaefer practices the tenets espoused in the Charter for the New Urbanism. Lexington passionately designs Homes and Neighborhoods while maintaining an unwavering devotion to construction quality standards, green building principles and sustainable development practices.

Lexington became exclusive developer of the project after a nine month vetting process. Schaefer and Lexington conceived, designed and are building Lexington Park at Rice Field, an eco-friendly, new urban neighborhood comprised of 98 luxury green built townhomes. Lexington has since emerged as a premier developer of new urban neighborhoods and transit oriented residential communities in Texas.
