We are excited to highlight two impressive tenant representation deals recently closed by our talented brokers. Last month, Gregory Blade and Scott Levinson successfully represented the buyer in securing a prime location for McDonald’s at Route 173 and Green Bay Road in Zion, IL. Building on this momentum, in January 2025, Gregory Blade facilitated a 1,490 SF lease for HearingLife at Ashton Pointe in Aurora, IL, kicking off the year on a high note. These successes underscore our commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
