History

Liberty Group was founded by Raxit Shah more than four decades ago, with the purchase of his first hotel in Liberty Township, Youngstown, Ohio.

The company has since evolved from a commercial real estate investment firm into a fully discretionary Single Family Office serving to preserve capital and diversify the portfolio.

Liberty Group, now led by Punit Shah, has invested in over $1.150 billion in commercial real estate, including urban retail, multi-family, office, student housing, and senior-living communities, as well as licensed Starbucks cafes and 57 hotels primarily affiliated with Hilton and Marriott brands.

“Liberty Group has a long history with IHG, being a franchisee with us for the past 25 years. Punit has continued his father's legacy as a savvy developer and a smart operator of hotels. Today, Liberty owns IHG hotels across the United States and it has been exciting to work along side him as he has continued to grow his portfolio."
