The Chesler Group, Inc. - Real Estate Property Division  

The Chesler Group, Inc. (TCG) is a redeveloper of commercial buildings with a special emphasis on the adaptive reuse of historic structures. We specialize in turn-key real estate development, inclusive of design, architecture, engineering, construction management and leasing.


We have a strong redevelopment track record and consistently bring projects in on time and on budget. Our business emphasis is taking a project from conception through final occupancy. This includes developing both strategic plans and tactical execution in a practical and functional approach that recognizes a client’s needs, community concerns and budget constraints.
