Red Seal Development Corp. (also known as Red Seal Homes), one of Chicagoland’s leading builders of luxury homes, was founded in 1934 by Joe Horwitz. In the housing boom following World War II, Red Seal created large new residential communities in Glenview and Arlington Heights. Under Mr. Horwitz's leadership, the company followed with communities in Deerfield and Northbrook. Mr. Horwitz served as President of the company until 1977.

David A. Hoffman, Chairman, joined Red Seal in 1969 as Executive Vice President and became Chief Executive Officer in 1972. He purchased the company in 1977 and served as its President through 1998. Under Mr. Hoffman's leadership, Red Seal's activities expanded throughout Northbrook, Highland Park, and into Wisconsin and Florida as well as the City of Chicago encompassing a variety of custom and production residential communities as well as sizable commercial and hotel construction ventures.
