Relationships across state lines matter just as much as the ones close to home. Adam Stephenson recently spent a few days in Chicago connecting with commercial real estate professionals from across the Midwest.
First up was the 2026 SIOR Great Lakes Region Networking Event, held August 17 through 19, bringing together industrial and commercial real estate leaders from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin for conversations on adaptive reuse, office and industrial strategy, and CRE tax considerations.
The trip continued on August 18 with the CCIM Illinois Chapter's Dealmakers on Deck Summer Boat Cruise, an evening aboard the Anita Dee II at DuSable Harbor with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop. Dan Spiegel, SIOR, Head of Global Operations for Coldwell Banker Commercial, served as architectural guide for the group.
A big thank you to Simon Enwia, CCIM, CEO and Designated Managing Broker of SENW and 2027 President-Elect of the CCIM Illinois Chapter, for the invitation and hospitality.
