The real estate development firm of George Gekakis, Incorporated, also known as GGI, was founded in 1981 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and incorporated in 1984, building custom homes as well as commercial structures, including office complexes, fire stations and shopping plazas in and around the Shreveport area.
In 1989, George Gekakis, its president and founder, expanded
the company's efforts to the fast-paced city of Las Vegas, Nevada where the need for upper level housing to support the executive staff

of the growing casino industry, became a catalyst for Gekakis' expansion into this growing field. The company built several design/build projects for prominent locals, as well as speculative single-family residences for the potential million dollar plus buyer. All the projects were successfully built and sold. By the mid-1990's, the firm began renovation work for MGM Grand, Inc., as well as other commercial contracting in the Greater Las Vegas area, including Henderson and Boulder City.
Through the 1990's, as Las Vegas experienced a rapid influx of
a diverse population including a large retirement community, GGI recognized the need for alternative senior housing. GGI began the acquisition of appropriate sites to design, develop, build and manage senior housing communities. Those developments now include an assisted living facility, two independent living complexes of 90 and 110 units, and a new 208-unit independent living community just recently completed.
The new millennium sees GGI as an established firm of experience and diversity, with the ability to recognize development opportunities with investment potential and profitability.
