Farkas Subsidiary Earns Recognition in 2016

Posted by on Jan 26, 2017

NAI Hiffman, a regional partner of NAI Global, turned heads in 2016 as the firm earned several notable awards in the real estate industry and Chicago area.

Established as a regional partner of NAI Global in 1985, NAI Hiffman is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm that offers leasing, management and investment sales representation for owners and occupiers of commercial real estate in the Chicago market. Under the management of NAI Global, NAI Hiffman has grown to be Chicago’s leading provider of third-party real estate management services.

NAI Hiffman closed out the 2016 year with a bang as the firm received several distinguished awards. In early December 2016 Dan Leahy and Adam Roth, top NAI Hiffman brokers, won the Industrial Broker Transaction of the Year award at the National Association for Industrial and Office Parks Chicago’s 29th annual Awards for Excellence ceremony. 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. Gracing the list as number eight among the largest real estate brokers in leases and number nine among the largest real estate brokers in sales, NAI Hiffman has certainly proved to be a force in the Chicago real estate market.

With 6,700 local market professionals managing over 380 million square feet of property, NAI Global has grown to become the single largest global network of owner-operated commercial real estate brokerage firms in the world. In 2012 the firm was acquired by C-III Capital Partners, a commercial real estate services company led by entrepreneur and investor Andrew Farkas. The acquisition allowed both firms to offer an even broader range of real estate services and add value to each. And with over 375 thriving offices, like NAI Hiffman, located all over the world and managing leadership from Farkas’ C-III, NAI Global will continue to rank highly among other commercial real estate services competitors.
