Today we’d like to introduce you to Marc Lifshin.
Marc, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Growing up I was always interested in the real estate world, so I decided to pursue my degree in Structural Engineering at the University of Illinois. Shortly after graduating, I founded LG Development Group, a Chicago-based real estate development company focused on producing luxury residential and commercial properties. Through LG, a student-housing platform evolved, as did segmentation into the hospitality and conventional multi-family markets. These new divisions are now known today as Core Spaces.
Has it been a smooth road?
In growing and stabilizing a business, it should never be too smooth! It’s been a blast but there have obviously been obstacles. However, those obstacles totally showed me what team members are more “Core” than others…and helped us build our team.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Core Spaces – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Core Spaces is a Chicago-based real estate company that acquires, develops and manages unparalleled real estate shaped by and built for the individuals who reside in collegiate markets. We create luxury properties on college campuses that offer amenities and style unmatched by any competitor.
What differentiates Core Spaces is the emphasis we place on how our properties look, feel and perform. We spend a lot of time making sure every aspect of each property is designed intentionally and efficiently, while also providing a completely different lifestyle and aesthetic experience, more akin to a boutique hotel than a student housing development.
