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 play a key leadership role within a growing Develop-Build platform, oversee complex construction projects, mentor field teams, and help deliver some of Chicago's most impactful residential developments.
