Family Property Background
My family has been in the property business since the 1940s in Columbus, Ohio, USA. My grandfather was a pioneer in the property finance business, lending money to small to large businesses to build properties. His business was enormously successful in terms of profit and the contribution he made to his clients, but sadly his career was cut short in a car accident at only aged 46.
My father and uncle carried on the family tradition founding Liggett Brothers Construction Company. But instead of lending money, they built premier quality houses in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
One of their biggest accolades was having a few of their homes designed by the nationally renowned architect W. Byron Ireland, who according to the American Institute of Architects was 'bold and innovative in his approach.'
Indeed, my father and uncle's houses were not only examples of some of the best architecture in the 1960s,1970s, and 1980s, but they were so loved by their owners that many of them asked my father and uncle to build another house for them!
They subsequently went on to build apartments and office buildings.
