CLIENT: PRIVATE DEVELOPER
We led development, leasing, property management and land sales for a 400-acre office, industrial and retail business-park. Activities included (a) the development, leasing and management of several flex-office buildings retained by the developer, (b) site development and sales of individual parcels to light industrial companies and (c) entitlement, marketing and sale of land to large national retail developers. During our tenure we succeeded in dramatically increasing industrial land sale prices, raising occupancy at rental properties, and disposing of large retail pads at prices over 90% higher than our client’s original expectations.

CLIENT: METROPOLITAN FAMILY SERVICES
Our client needed to quickly monetize a 100 year old summer camp but faced strong opposition from area residents and open-space advocates. We targeted Chicago-area residential developers and open-space groups with our sealed bid disposition process to maximize the number of bids and prices offered. When it became clear that “open space” was the desire, we used the higher prices offered by residential developers to cause the winning bidder to increase their offer by more than 25%
