Company History
GIS was built on execution — not theory — and its operating history shaped the model we use today.
1992–1995
Procurement & Material Supply
Founded by Igor Gershman in 1992. Operated as an import/export firm supplying construction materials.
1995–2004
General Contracting & Manufacturing
Expanded into full-scope commercial construction. Operated concrete production capabilities and delivered workforce and residential housing for institutional and government clients.
2004–2015
Entry Into Development
Participated in its first real estate development joint ventures and began executing independent projects. Transitioned from a contractor into builder/developer.
2015–2020
Partnering with Landowners
Shifted toward working alongside landowners rather than buying their land. Early form of the current development-as-a-service model takes shape.
2020–Present
Development Execution as a Service
Model formalized: owners bring the land/capital, GIS executes the development. Performance-based participation replaces capital contribution.
