Neology Group

cpf Logo
Lissette M. Calderon, the founder and CEO of Neology Group, has built a $2 billion development portfolio while prioritizing institutional pathways for the next generation. As a first-generation Hispanic American, Calderon created WiRE: Women in Real Estate, a first-of-its-kind summer internship that introduces high school girls to development and finance. Her business success is equally impressive; in 2025, her projects "TheJulia" and "Fourteen Main Street"secured refinancings of $84.5 million and $64 million, respectively, after achieving 95% occupancy within six months. Calderon’s "Preferred Employer Program" also supports Miami's workforce by providing leasing incentives to teachers and first responders. By leading a vertically integrated firm where women hold key executive positions, she demonstrates that inclusive leadership is an essential driver of commercial success and organizational culture.
