About the Group

Developer. Operator.
Holding Company.

GAL Development Group builds and owns real estate — and operates the companies that support it. Residential communities, commercial projects, and hospitality assets, delivered through five specialized businesses under one group.

We don't outsource — we develop, build, finish, and manage through our own companies. That's the model.
