Michael Pattinson

Michael Pattinson, the man who led the Carlsbad-based Barratt American homebuilding firm for most of the past two decades -- only to see it crumble into dust -- plans to begin rebuilding his business by buying, renovating and selling foreclosed homes, and completing broken projects.

For those who have known Pattinson the homebuilder for many years, the concept of repositioning older properties may seem foreign, but he says the practice can help get the industry moving again. It also can help what Pattinson now calls Barratt Group, along the way.

Pattinson, who joined the original company in 1983 -- three years after Barratt American was established -- would build homes throughout the Southwest with a special emphasis in San Diego and the Inland Empire.
