About the Group

Developer. Operator.
Holding Company.

GAL Development Group builds and owns real estate — and operates the companies that support it. We develop residential communities, commercial projects, and hospitality assets, while running five specialized businesses across construction, property management, interior finishing, millwork, and storage.

The group functions on two levels: we develop our own projects, and we operate the companies that deliver them. That integration is the platform.
