PROFILE |
 |
Chicagoland members of the GI generation and their Baby Boomer offspring who have enjoyed the comforts of suburban homes can thank, in part, lawyer-turned-builder D. Kimball Hill, founder of Kimball Hill Homes and one of the pioneers of Chicago's suburbs. Today it also builds in California, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. Half of Kimball's homes are targeted at first time or move-up buyers, though it also builds 3,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. houses priced at $600,000 to $800,000. The company is joining with other builders to create Whitehammer.com, a Website selling construction supplies. Kimball Hill Homes is owned by the Hill family, including Chairman and CEO David K. Hill Jr., the founder's son.
