MHO

M/i Homes, Inc.

A homebuilder that designs and builds single-family houses and townhomes for everyone from first-time buyers to empty-nesters, and develops entire neighborhoods in dozens of U.S. markets. It began in 1976 when brothers Melvin and Irving Schottenstein started building homes in Columbus, Ohio — the "M" and "I" in the name are simply their initials. Today Irving's son Bobby, who spent his high-school summers as a laborer on the family's job sites, runs the company.
