Leasing & Management

Founded in 1982 with the development of Chicago's Madison Plaza, MB Real Estate is a full-service commercial real estate firm committed to maximizing the value of its client's real estate through timely, innovative solutions and providing unparalleled client support.

The firm's Asset Management division, which manages more than 18 million square feet of property, approaches a client's asset from an owner's perspective - proactively exploring solutions that not only make sense to the client, but also to MB Real Estate. The team applies an entrepreneurial management style to each asset, continually developing tailored initiatives to enhance value and decrease operating costs through capital improvements, no- and low-cost energy efficiency strategies, tenant build-outs, and building renovations.

Though one of the most active leasing groups in the Midwest, the Leasing division of MB Real Estate continually ranks as one of the top firms in Chicago with the lowest square footage per leasing agent. The dedicated leasing agents and senior-level executives provide an elevated level of focus and expertise for each asset in its 9.5+ million square foot leasing portfolio. The team employs aggressive tenant prospecting and marketing campaigns to maximize opportunities to attract a diverse group of tenants and retain current ones, as well as maximize the long-term value of its client's asset.
