About LG Group

LG Group is a vertically integrated real estate development, construction, and property management company specializing in hospitality, luxury commercial, adaptive re-use, tenant improvements, multifamily, mixed-use, and high-rise residential projects.

This is an opportunity to join a growing Develop-Build platform, lead complex projects, mentor developing project team members, and play a key role in shaping the future of LG Group's construction operations.
