Leahy and Roth won this prestigious award for their work during the Mars/Wrigley transaction, as both brokers were responsible for the eventual national consolidation of warehouse operations and location decision of the facilities.

The Chicago-based NAI Global firm also received recognition from Crain’s Chicago at the end of December 2016, as the weekly business newspaper named NAI Hiffman among the largest real estate brokers and office leases in suburban Chicago.
