The Warmington group of companies
90th Anniversary Highlights Warmington's Deep Roots, Strong Foundation.
Warmington is celebrating a big year in 2016. It’s our 90th!
You may know that Warmington started out as a custom home builder for movie stars and executives in the Los Angeles area, but you may not realize that the very first Warmington company was founded in 1926. To put that in context, think about this: Calvin Coolidge was President, the Great Depression hadn’t happened yet, World War 1 was simply The Great War as WWII was still more than a decade away and Disneyland was still an orange grove in Anaheim!
To be sure, the Warmington group of companies has been through a lot over its 90 years as a real estate organization. And like most of us, the group has gotten wiser with age. Taking that experience and building on it has been the foundation of our success. Today, Warmington is a full-service group of real estate companies that maintains expertise in residential home building, entitlements, community development, apartment construction, acquisitions, interior design, options management, and apartment and commercial property asset management. The group is comprised of Warmington Residential, Warmington Properties, Chateau Interiors & Design and Studio Chateau.
Throughout 2016, we are celebrating Warmington’s deep roots and strong foundation and remembering our very illustrious history that has included many successes, a few hard knocks and a legacy that we are very proud to be a part of. You can read more about Warmington’s 90 year history here. >>
>>Anniversary Fun Fact: Dick Van Dyke, an American icon, also is celebrating being 90! We are proud to share this milestone with him and also to have a shared history as well. In the 1970’s Warmington was lucky enough to count him as a spokesman for a time. He thought very highly of Warmington and its commitment to excellence and did some promotions on our behalf. Warmington built many homes for movie stars but getting to work with Dick Van Dyke definitely was a high point and a huge benefit to us having ties to Hollywood!
NFL to TWG - Former NFL Player Joins Warmington's Land Acquisition Team
Our land acquisition team is growing and has welcomed a real team player. Former quarterback, Scott Covington, who played five seasons in the NFL for the Cincinnati Bengals and the St. Louis Rams, has joined the Southern California Division of Warmington Residential as Director of Land Acquisition.
While his career as a professional football player is notable, what really impressed us about Scott is his track record. As a broker with experience in both commercial real estate and residential land acquisition previously working with DR Horton and The Hoffman Company, Scott brings not just his brawn to our team, but a set of strategic plays that will foster our goal of acquiring new land deals.
With the addition of Scott, Warmington’s land acquisition team also includes Tom Hildebrandt, Dean Maners, David Pitts, Justin Brewer, and Natalie Heimstra in Southern California; Ryan Gerding and Ciyavash Moazzami in Northern California, and Greg Oberling in Nevada.
Warmington remains very focused on and is aggressively pursuing new land deals throughout Southern and Northern California and in Southern Nevada, the three regions in which Warmington Residential is active.
Supporting land acquisition is our Forward Planning team, which includes Craig Moraes in SoCal, Don Babbitt in NoCal and Scott Reddie in Nevada. Once in the pipeline, this group performs feasibility studies for new projects and manages all aspects of entitlement from city approval through final engineering and product design.

NoCal: Ryan Gerding (925) 866-6700

Justin Brewer: NextGen Executive Committee Chair in 2016
After a two year history as a member of the BIAOC’s NextGen Committee where he served as Philanthropy Chair and spearheaded the annual “Doo-Doo for Diapers” charity event that raises funds for homeless families with young children, Warmington’s Director of Land Acquisition, Justin Brewer is moving up!
Throughout 2016, he is serving on the Executive Committee as Chair, leading this group as it provides its members with professional development, education and meaningful networking opportunities in order to support their growth in the home building industry.
Justin says this is a group intended for younger individuals who maybe don’t have a network set up in the industry. NextGen has monthly networking and educational opportunities including
- Morning Buzz Meetings - Learn from industry leaders in a round-table setting.
- Office Hours - Network with your peers at a no-host happy hour.
- Site and Land Tours - Learn about the land, construction and design processes from leading builders.
- Book Club - Participate in quarterly networking meetings with both your peers and an industry mentor. Book Club is for members only.
- Annual fundraising for HomeAid Orange County - Fundraise & support their annual Essentials Drive by participating in the Doo-Doo for Diapers Event and other philanthropic opportunities.
To support Justin and the education, recruitment, and fundraising efforts supporting HomeAid OC, Warmington is a 2016 sponsor.
