Mason Jobst is a Co-Founder and Principal at Grand Southern Group, bringing a disciplined, owner-minded approach to luxury residential development and investment. His leadership style is shaped by a career spent performing at the highest levels—first as a Division I collegiate athlete and later through six seasons as a professional hockey player—where preparation, resilience, and accountability were non-negotiable.

That academic rigor, paired with real-world execution, informs every project he undertakes at Grand Southern.
Today, Mason is directly involved in sourcing, structuring, and executing high-end residential developments across the Nashville market. His focus is on creating enduring value through thoughtful site selection, disciplined capital allocation, and timeless design. As both an operator and investor, Mason approaches every project with an owner’s perspective—prioritizing long-term quality over short-term wins.
