Founded in May of 2002 by Mark Lichtman and Philip Kroskin, Bos Group was formed to provide projects that offer above market returns for investors by building value through the creation of extraordinary retail, entertainment and dining destinations. As former senior executives of the Mills Corporation, Lichtman and Kroskin sought to use their extensive experience creating highly successful regional and super-regional shopping centers to focus on developing dynamic destinations that complemented and enhanced a city’s unique sense of place. Bos Group seeks to implement this strategy by identifying and securing properties to develop, redevelop, and reposition in under-valued and under-served markets, while providing an innovative mix of tenants and uses in each project.

In May of 2003, this expertise and experience combined with Bos Group’s current development prospects, resulted in an equity investment from Cincinnati based Neyer Holdings. Neyer Holdings, created by Tom Neyer Jr., former CEO and Chairman of the Board of Al Neyer Corporation, focuses on merchant banking and real estate development activities. This strategic partnership between Bos Group and Neyer Holdings signifies Neyer’s first investment in a retail real estate company and positions Bos Group to aggressively pursue multiple projects throughout the Northeast, South, Midwest and Southwest regions.
