In 1945, brothers Paul C. Robertson, Sr. and Covert Robertson, Jr., established Robertson Brothers with the intent of building homes in Berkley and Royal Oak for returning World War II veterans. After this, they moved on to Bloomfield/Troy to develop Pine Hill, their first investment in the Adams Road Corridor- tradition that continues today.

One major milestone was the hiring of Paul Robertson, Jr. in 1972 and the subsequent development of Adams Woods - the first master-planned condominium development that emphasized "lifestyle" living with such amenities as a clubhouse, pool and tennis courts. Many larger communities designed around this lifestyle concept - which evolved to include stunning golf course communities - have been developed, including Bingham Woods, The Homes at TPC, The Links of Northville Hills, The Heathers, The Links of Pheasant Run and The Links West of Pheasant Run.

Under the command of Paul Robertson, Jr., Robertson Brothers has continued to give customers "what they want" by offering an array of gracious home choices (single-family homes, detached condominiums, attached condominiums, stacked condominiums and mid-rise condominiums) in many of the area's premier locations. To date, the company has been involved in building and developing over 40 communities.

Sigma Alumnus George Spasyk proudly tells of a memory Paul Robertson's days as an undergraduate:

"In the summer of 1962, I was serving the Fraternity as service secretary and was in charge of planning the General Assembly. Cliff Taylor '64 and classmate Paul Robertson decided to attend the [Lambda Chi Alpha] conference in Pasadena, California.

This was destined to be an historic Assembly, as legislation had been proposed to eliminate all clauses that restricted membership [in Lambda Chi Alpha] on the basis of race, religion, or national origin.

Robertson and Taylor wanted to attend the Assembly to lobby other chapter undergraduates to support the proposed legislation. They made it there on their own, but did not have the money for a hotel room. I had no problem in accommodating them by offering them the floor of my room. They even tucked their meager belongings in my closet while the maid made up the room each day.

The Assembly turned out to be historic, as predicted. The membership legislation was adopted; there were no longer any artificial barriers to membership in Lambda Chi Alpha.

The following year, Taylor and Robertson served the Michigan IFC as president and treasurer respectively."
