Luxury Real Estate

By Brian Langhorst

LuxuryRealEstate.com is proud to introduce Landrigan & Company as our first member in the state of Indiana specifically serving the greater Indianapolis luxury real estate markets.

Landrigan & Company’s roots are among the deepest in Indianapolis real estate history. Three generations of Savage-Landrigans have worked with buyers and sellers of residential real estate for over seventy years. Hundreds of agents have been members of the family’s firms. Most importantly, a reputation of competence and professionalism has been earned.

The firm is owned by G.B. Landrigan. His grandfather, Bruce C. Savage, a cheery, principled man whose voice had briefly taken him to Broadway, began the practice of real estate in Indianapolis with a leading local firm in 1940. In 1944, he opened the Bruce Savage Company. Chiefly specializing in the brokerage of fine homes and properties on the North Side and then-suburban areas of Indianapolis, the firm quickly grew to become Indiana's largest residential real estate firm. The firm was among the first in Indianapolis to establish branch offices and encourage women agents. Following a term in Washington in the Eisenhower Administration as director of what soon became HUD, Savage handed the reins to his son in law, the creative and equally personable Richard Landrigan. Reflecting the retirement, the firm’s name was changed to Savage/Landrigan, Inc.

While many firms embraced the idea of mass expansion, Richard Landrigan consciously pursued a program of controlled growth and specialization that enabled the firm to retain its unique identity and reputation while adapting to modern trends. The marketing of fine homes was often tied to the Indianapolis arts community. Landrigan died unexpectedly in 1984 and the firm closed shortly thereafter, still ranked as one of the city's largest. In an article reporting the closure the firm was described by the Indianapolis Business Journal as being among the city's "oldest and most respected" real estate firms.

G.B. Landrigan graduated from Wabash College the following year and entered real estate. For twenty years, he worked with one of the city's leading real estate organizations; By 2005, however, he sensed that the time was right to create a new firm that embraced the values and unique qualities of the old Savage Company while blending it with a more modern business model. The firm attracts agents who value independence, knowledge, and discretion. It is, essentially, the re-emergence of Indianapolis's original "boutique" firm.

The firm enjoys spectacular views from its new offices overlooking Monument Circle, the very center of the Indianapolis business district. This has enabled it to be closer to the daytime workplaces of a large portion of its clients working in law offices, insurance companies, and other businesses headquartered there. While the firm's agents work with a wide range of sellers and buyers, it is especially known for its work in Northern Marion County and Southern Boone and Hamilton counties.
