JMB Companies, Inc. Drives Future Environmental Solutions with JMB Ecological Offsets

Jul 14th, 2025

LAFAYETTE, LA – JMB Companies, Inc. announces the launch of JMB Ecological Offsets – unifying its wetland mitigation and conservation banking services under a single, dedicated brand and further enhancing the company’s comprehensive suite of ecological services.

A family-owned enterprise based in Southern Louisiana, JMB Companies has nearly 150 years of experience in responsible land and resource management. Its significant holdings across Louisiana, Florida, and Texas include land holdings, mineral interests, salt mining, renewable energy, oil and gas leasing, and most recently, a substantial portfolio of mitigation assets.

More than a decade ago, JMB expanded into ecological offset projects. Operating as both Southern States Land & Timber LLC in Florida and under the JMB Companies name in Texas and Louisiana, the company quickly established itself as a respected leader in the environmental mitigation sector. Consolidating the two businesses under a distinct nationwide banner clarifies the fundamental focus of JMB Ecological Offsets – to deliver effective and sustainable solutions, while helping clients navigate the complex regulatory world of mitigation banking and ecological offset credits.

“Our Ecological Offset services are the company’s fastest growing and largest portion of JMB’s overall business; it deserves to stand on its own,” said Chad Murray, CEO of JMB Companies, Inc. “It’s important that our clients know there are no changes to the team they have come to rely on for these services. With JMB Ecological Offsets as a standalone, we are simply honing our messaging directly to the markets it serves while eliminating potential confusion as JMB Companies, Inc. continues exploration of additional growth opportunities.”

JMB Companies, Inc. will continue as the parent company brand, allowing for the furthering of its family office growth strategy and supporting the expansion of its increasingly diversified portfolio.
