What Peninsula Group does

Libra Group is a privately held, family-owned global business group founded in 2003 by George Logothetis and headquartered in New York, building on the maritime legacy of Lomar Shipping (established 1976). The group operates 15 subsidiary businesses across six sectors: aerospace (Space Leasing International/SLI for satellite ground stations and advanced air mobility aircraft), maritime (Lomar shipping, Americraft Marine Jones Act-compliant shipbuilding, Seapath LNG bunkering), renewable energy (EuroEnergy in Europe, Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure/GSI in North America, Greenwood Energy in Latin America with a combined 7 GWp development pipeline plus 800 MWp operating or under construction), hospitality (Aria Hotels with 50+ boutique properties and Sparta Properties), real estate (Elandis multifamily with ~4,200 units in the U.S. Sunbelt, FCA Group in Central America/Caribbean, Sparta Properties), and diversified investments (Principal Media, fyi.news, Critical Mineral Investments, COCO-MAT, Libra Capital).

Revenue is generated through operational profits and investment appreciation across these autonomous subsidiaries, with models spanning long-term aviation and space asset leasing (SLI), maritime charter and management fees (Lomar), hospitality room and F&B revenue (Aria), long-term power purchase agreements (GSI/EuroEnergy/Greenwood Energy), multifamily rental income (Elandis), media content licensing (Principal Media), and investment returns (Libra Capital). The group completed the sale of aviation lessor LCI to Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing (SMFL) in February 2026, consolidating aerospace expertise under SLI, and concurrently restructured 20 subsidiaries into 15 operating businesses to improve efficiency.
