LG DEVELOPMENT

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

LG BUILDERS

“

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.

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.

• Defined expectations and deliverables across the entire project team.

• Precise definition of project scope and vetted design and construction coordination.

• Consistent communication via regular meetings during preconstruction and weekly oac meetings once construction commences.

THE LOOP

What started as a new endeavor with friends drove our company’s growth toward becoming Chicago’s premier restaurant builder.

In 2010, we built our first restaurant for BOKA Restaurant Group, The Girl & the Goat, which was named one of the “Top Five Restaurant Openings in America” that year and remains one of the hardest reservations to secure nationwide.

60+ restaurants completed

This project is a reflection of our passion for creating thoughtfully designed environments that benefit patrons, employees, and ownership alike. We thrive when challenged with bringing together one-of-a-kind interior design details and materials.

more than

We believe restaurant construction is made stronger by the relationships we develop, which is why collaboration with clients and the design team is the foundation for all of our projects. We build with the client’s goals as our top priority and bring ideas, not issues, when solutions are needed.

This perspective has provided us the opportunity to build over 60 restaurant projects and counting, as we relentlessly pursue our mission to deliver an exceptional building experience and extraordinary finished product.
