three companies, one lg.

LG Group is a multi-disciplinary real estate firm comprised of three distinct companies all united at the intersection of development, construction, and design.

I take immense pride in our journey from modest origins to the remarkable company we’ve become today. It all began with a vision to redefine the client-builder relationship and always work with meticulous attention to detail, a commitment that remains today. Looking back, it’s truly incredible to see how our initial endeavor as high end residential builders has blossomed into three thriving companies.

our history

Evolution through thoughtful growth and strategic diversification.

Each company under the LG Group umbrella was established and grown as its own distinct business, however the influence of the companies on each other defines who we are today.

2005

Starting from humble ‘roll-up your sleeves’ beginnings, the company is founded as LG Homes, establishing itself as one of the premier luxury residential builders in Chicago best known for an unwavering dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.

2008

Building on early successes that drove organic growth within the residential market, LG Homes is rebranded as LG Construction + Development, reflecting a bold new vision and commitment to growth with an expansion of services spanning both residential development and general contracting.

The opening of Girl & the Goat – the instantly iconic restaurant in the West Loop’s Fulton Market area conceptualized by renowned chef, Stephanie Izard – marks a significant milestone for LG as the beginning of the company’s foray into the world of hospitality and commercial general contracting.

2012

Exemplifying the combined power of LG’s Construction + Development expertise, the company completes high-end custom townhome project, Row 2750 – LG’s inaugural venture into multi-family development that serves as a pivotal starting point toward further expansion in the sector.

2018

LG’s sustained growth across real estate development and construction brings us past the 50-employee milestone, reinforcing our commitment to delivering best-in-class talent on every project.

2020

LG Design emerges as a standalone design company, offering its expertise to both LG Development and third-party clients – a strategic evolution in our commitment to providing exceptional design solutions that elevate every project we undertake.

2023

Marking its largest endeavor to-date, LG Group breaks ground on the 601 North Central project in downtown Phoenix, Arizona – a monumental mixed-use development encompassing 1,306,935 square feet and 747 units – illustrating how the company is an unwavering visionary in redefining urban development through a combination of skyline-shaping, innovative design and extensive, first-class amenity spaces.

2025

Offshoot Creative, formerly LG Design, emerged as a standalone design , offering its expertise to both LG Development and third-party clients. This strategic move represents a significant step forward in our commitment to providing exceptional design solutions that elevate every project we undertake.

2022

LG undergoes a transformative rebranding to become LG Group –a strategic initiative to unify our Development, Construction and Design divisions under one umbrella with an integrated approach that streamlines operations, sparks cross-functional collaboration, boosts efficiency, and reinforces our commitment to innovation and excellence in all that we do.

2024

LG Group opens the doors to its new headquarters in River North – a modern, collaborative workspace designed to inspire innovation while reflecting the company’s functional, cutting-edge design aesthetic and commitment to sustainability-focused construction. The relocation signifies the start of a new chapter for LG Group, with endless possibilities for continued growth and success on the horizon.

Marking two decades of innovation and growth, LG Group celebrates its 20th anniversary as a year of reflection, celebration, and forward momentum. This milestone represents not just our evolution as a company and the exceptional team that drives our success, but our excitement for the next chapter—leveraging decades of trusted partnerships and market leadership to continue delivering outstanding results.

A client-focused approach to construction.

LG BUILDERS is a fullservice construction company powered by collaboration, creativity, and resourcefulness.

about

Growing from our luxury residential roots, LG Builders was founded in 2008 as a partner company to the already established LG Development.

LG Builders was established on the belief that we could provide a higher level of service to our clients – service focused on their needs and goals – while creating value by being nimble and resourceful during the planning and execution phases of the project.

In 2015, LG Advantage was created to deliver a white glove experience by providing a dedicated service and special projects team.

LG Homes was established in 2022 as a standalone luxury residential group within the company signaling a rededication to the foundation of the business.

Today, LG Builders is inclusive of three unique business units: LG Commercial, LG Homes, and LG Advantage. Together, they maintain a diverse portfolio across more than 10 different market sectors with a focus on hospitality, entertainment, multi-family, office, and retail, all while continuing to build on our reputation as a leading luxury residential builder.

As our market presence has expanded, our dedication and commitment to delivering on our mission has only deepened.

a growing national presence

Since expanding outside the Chicago market in 2019, LG Builders has completed projects across more than a dozen different states, and counting.

This growth has largely been clientdriven, and has laid the foundation for us to build nearly any project type in any geographical market. By leveraging our project management expertise from one central location while remaining nimble with an experienced group of traveling field team members, we are able to efficiently move from market to market, seamlessly meeting our clients’ needs every step of the way.

what we do

CONSULTING

Our unique ability to understand each project from the owner’s perspective, combined with the experience to successfully set up and manage the construction, we are ideally positioned to provide the feedback a client needs to decide key next steps for the project.

PRECONSTRUCTION

Time spent setting up your project for success at the frontend is invaluable. We work with you to establish the right team for your project, design within a budget, and eliminate unknowns to ensure that your project starts and finishes faster, without unwanted cost overruns.

VALUE ENGINEERING

Striking the ideal balance between budget and design is achieved by bringing value-driven construction solutions to the table to increase the efficiency of the build while safeguarding the overall program and design intent. By taking advantage of opportunities to enhance value and address challenges, we streamline the construction process, minimize uncertainties, and protect the financial goals of the project.

DESIGN-BUILD

As an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build approach, we vet and hire the design team resources for your project and manage the design process from the very beginning to maximize schedule efficiencies and reduce the overall cost of your project.

CM @ RISK

With control of the project still in the client’s hands, we ensure the project is expertly planned and executed. Whether we act as our client’s representative or manage the project at risk, our efficient management and experienced field supervision keeps the project tracking towards your budget, schedule, and quality expectations.

GENERAL CONTRACTING

Leveraging our extensive network of trades, craftspeople, and vendors, we assemble the right team for your project and provide the hands-on management and oversight needed to make it a success. Starting with a deep understanding of the client’s goals, we guide each project with a transparent, process-driven approach that keeps the project team one step ahead while proactively bringing resourceful solutions when needed.
