A Rich Legacy of Serving Chicago and Beyond…
Rubloff’s roots trace to the year 1930 and the company’s founder, Arthur Rubloff. From humble beginnings, he built the largest real estate company of its kind in Chicago. A visionary and innovator, Arthur Rubloff has been called “the man who changed the face of Chicago.” His pioneering ideas were catalysts for dozens of developments that have indelibly enhanced our city’s skyline. Rubloff coined the nickname “Mag Mile” for the section of North Michigan Avenue that extends from Oak Street to the Chicago River, and which today includes the award-winning One Magnificent Mile, the building that houses our corporate headquarters.
Arthur Rubloff created the master plan for the North Loop, and sponsored the redevelopment of Old Town, today one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods. He built the Carl Sandburg Village development of residential high-rises on the city’s Near North Side. Rubloff also developed Hyde Park’s University Gardens, and office buildings for many corporate headquarters in Chicago. By the 1980s, the company was operating in a dozen U.S. cities. Its development division was eventually sold to a Tokyo-based firm, and its commercial division was acquired by Koll, now known as CB Richard Ellis.
LOCAL OWNERSHIP KEEPS US RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THE CHICAGO AREA. In 1996, the partnership of Howard Weinstein and Tom Horwich acquired Rubloff’s residential division. Weinstein had been the company’s C.O.O. and president, and Horwich also brought a background in real estate development and management. Their hands-on management style and capital investments to expand offices and services have built Rubloff Residential Properties into one of Chicago’s most respected and efficacious real estate firms.
