Mike has been instrumental in helping numerous clients identify industrial sites for speculative development and has lead or co-lead marketing efforts to fill these buildings.

Consistently updating these owners and always putting them in the best position to win has been a hallmark of the team, allowing them to establish themselves as the top institutional leasing team in the marketplace.
In the last several years, his tenant representation focus has expanded to the Midwest as well as nationally. Leading the team’s multi-market tenant representation efforts, Mike utilizes creative strategies and comprehensive market analysis to help numerous occupier clients identify and align real estate requirements with strategic business, financial and operational objectives. Either helping large, public national retailers or mid-size private companies, Mike’s approach and attention to detail has allowed his clients to focus on their core competency while the team helps to solve their real estate issues. Notable tenant representation clients include Macy’s, PAC Worldwide, Torrid, Crescent, Blue Buffalo, and vidaXL.com.
