AB - Using the geometry of the projective plane over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, we construct a Hermitian Lorentzian lattice $L_{q}$ of dimension $(q^{2} + q + 2)$ defined over a certain number ring $\mathcal{O}$ that depends on $q$. We show that infinitely many of these lattices are $p$-modular, that is, $p L^{\prime }_{q} = L_{q}$, where $p$ is some prime in $\mathcal{O}$ such that $\vert p\vert ^{2} =q$.The Lorentzian lattices $L_q$ sometimes lead to construction of interesting positive definite lattices. In particular, if $q \equiv 3 \bmod 4$ is a rational prime such that $(q^2 + q + 1)$ is norm of some element in $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-q}]$, then we find a $2q(q+1)$ dimensional even unimodular positive definite integer lattice $M_{q}$ such that $\operatorname{Aut}(M_q) \supseteq \operatorname{PGL}(3,\mathbb{F}_q)$. We find that $M_3$ is the Leech lattice.
