About

Role in the broader portfolio and the thesis it supports.

The Lal Group is an Ohio-based development, investment, brokerage, and property-management firm and the anchor of Motivant's real-estate footprint. The book covers commercial, mixed-use, multi-family, and single-family product across Cuyahoga, Summit, Stark, and Portage counties, with Akron as the operating hub. Service lines run end-to-end — development, investment, brokerage, and management — so the same team responsible for sourcing a deal stays in for how the asset is run, leased, and refinanced. Named projects include Mueller Lofts, a 51-unit historic restoration, and Liberty Commons, a mixed-use rehabilitation. Subsidiary brand Century 21 Wilbur Realty — described in Motivant marketing as Northeast Ohio's first female-owned brokerage — operates under the same group, extending residential brokerage reach across the same geography. The Lal family name connects the entity to Sanjiv Lal's principal seat at Motivant; the firm publicly lists The Lal Group as its primary real-estate holding.
