LGIS Group, the pioneer of Commercial Property Loan Insurance (CPLI) for the CRE lending industry, was founded by David Eichenblatt. The company’s innovative product provides a solution to a problem Eichenblatt identified over the course of his nearly 30 year career as a national real estate investor and developer.
He is also the principal at David Eichenblatt and Company, Real Estate Investments and Development, a firm he founded in 1992. Previous to that he founded the DECK Realty Group and served as an Investment Officer for TMW Real Estate Group (now Prudential) and CB Commercial Real Estate (now CBRE).
Eichenblatt is a graduate of the Owner/President Management Program from Harvard Business School and earned his MBA in Finance from Georgia State University along with a BS in Finance and Multinational Business from Florida State University. He holds the professional designation of CCIM and a number of insurance and real estate licenses.
“For years, the commercial real estate market has been hindered by the shortcomings of traditional, outdated loan methods. There has long been a need for a mechanism that could at once open it up, benefiting both lenders and borrowers all while minimizing risk, and LGIS Group’s CPLI is the answer. CPLI is a truly unique and innovative approach for the industry, providing direct, cost-effective capital relief that reduces risk and provides an injection of fresh capital into banks' balance sheets.
