LBG Real Estate

What LBG Real Estate does

LBG Real Estate Companies, LLC is a privately-held, vertically integrated mixed-use real estate development firm that targets undervalued, distressed, and under-utilized commercial properties in infill primary and secondary markets of the Western United States. Founded in 2009 by Leslie Lundin, Douglas T. Beiswenger, and David Goldman, the firm has three Managing Partners each with over 25 years of commercial real estate experience across finance, development, redevelopment, operations, and leasing. The company operates through four core service lines: opportunistic acquisitions (currently seeking properties in excess of $10 million), comprehensive property and facility management (accounting, construction management, daily maintenance), court-appointed receivership services for lenders and special servicers in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Utah, and a Preferred Equity Program offering $500,000–$5,000,000 equity checks at 12–15% interest with 2–3 year terms. Featured operating assets include The Medford Center (420,000 SF mixed-use lifestyle center in Medford, OR), Rancho Del Rey Center (139,000 SF community shopping center in Chula Vista, CA), and the company's largest position, Hilltop Mall (1.1 million SF on 77 acres in Richmond, CA, jointly acquired with Aviva Investors in 2017 and entitled for up to 9,670 residential units and 16.7 million square feet of commercial space).

LBG generates revenue through four streams: asset management and advisory fees on managed institutional capital, property and facility management fees billed to commercial property owners through operating budgets and management agreements, receivership fees earned by taking possession, collecting rents, and disposing of distressed properties, and interest income and fees (1% in/1% out) on its Preferred Equity Program. The company co-invests with institutional capital providers such as Aviva Investors and Blue Vista on larger acquisitions and maintains direct relationships with brokers, banks, lenders, and property owners as its primary deal-sourcing channel. Distribution is purely enterprise field sales through principal-led outreach; no third-party resellers, marketplaces, or digital channels are used. Operating geographies span 16 U.S. states, with offices in Newport Beach (CA, headquarters), Medford (OR), and Los Angeles (CA). Cumulative disclosed activity includes $1.3 billion in developed/redeveloped assets and more than 115 transactions; revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no disclosed funding rounds, proprietary technology platform, or AI/ML capabilities.
