LSG was formed in 2002 by Brian Philpot and Robert F. Harper, IV. Through good fortune and hard work the company quickly grew from its first 4,500 acre timberland deal in South Carolina to the company it is today. Since that time LSG and its affiliates have purchased several hundred thousand acres of land, over 300,000 square feet of warehouse space, industrial land, timberland, commercial land, residential developments and conservation tracts.
This growth in deal flow has led to the demand for more capital. LSG has expanded into the field of private equity through its equity funds. As more capital has become available to LSG, the potential for long term investment has become the focus. Through the engineering team at Econ South, LLC, the financial capabilities through Land South Funds, the lending capabilities of Bankers South, and the sales force at Land South Realty, LLC., LSG can maximize the long term profit of most any real estate investment.
