Upon graduation from U.C.L.A., Mr. Chalmers was employed by Heger Realty Corporation, one of Los Angeles leading industrial real estate brokers, management and development companies. During Mr. Chalmers’ seven year tenure, he concentrated on properties in the industrial areas South-East of Los Angeles including the communities of Commerce, Vernon, Montebello, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs and Cerritos. Mr. Chalmers’ primary focus was working on new industrial developments and the remodeling and retrofitting of larger, older buildings.

To capitalize upon his development experience, Mr. Chalmers began the Chalmers Equity Group, in January 1988. Chalmers Equity Group began developing industrial projects and low income, multi-family housing. As the market changed, development became difficult, so Mr. Chalmers entered into a partnership with one of his primary building contractors and began Chalmers & Zolg Construction in 1990. Chalmers & Zolg Construction focused on industrial building construction, renovation and tenant improvement projects. In December 1992 Mr. Chalmers purchased the assets of the partnership and began the Chalmers Corporation, under the d.b.a. C.E.G. Construction. Since 1992, C.E.G. Construction has completed several hundred projects making it one of the leading industrial building contractors in the Los Angeles area. Chalmers Equity Group has also continued to identify industrial build to suit and development projects and has numerous projects under construction and currently available.
