What a couple of years we’ve had! It was great to see Chicago industrial starting the year with record levels of leasing and a 2.7% vacancy rate. While things remain atypical for our office brokerage colleagues, there are green shoots beginning to appear as more and more companies return to the office.
Speaking of returning…I’m excited that our in-person events schedule is back in full force this year! Please mark your calendars for our upcoming events:
- SIOR Chicago Chapter is sponsoring the 19th Annual CIP Industrial Summit which will be held on April 28 at the Hyatt Lodge, 2815 Jorie Boulevard in Oak Brook. This is a must-attend event for Chicago industrial real estate professionals.
- SIOR Global TransACT 360 Conference will be held on April 27-30 in Phoenix, AZ. This event is a great way to stay connected with our global SIOR community.
- SIOR Chicago Chapter lunch will be held on May 12 at Gibsons Rosemont
- On June 28th we will be hosting an incredible premier event on the roof of The Old Chicago Post Office, a phenomenal office redevelopment that is a must see for everyone.
- Our annual SIOR Chicago Golf Outing will take place on July 25th at the fantastic Glen View Club

PHILANTHROPY
We are about so much more than brokerage production – we are an organization that gives freely and without hesitation. But we are not limiting our charitable commitments to the boundaries of the Chicago MSA – we’ve been deeply moved by the Russia-Ukraine crisis and have acted swiftly by vetting charitable organizations and mobilizing a call for donations from our local chapter. Thanks to all of you that have responded with such generosity.
Thank you for your continued commitment to SIOR. You are all the lifeblood of this organization, and I’m so excited to see what 2022 has in store for us. I am looking forward to collaborating with all of you and celebrating that we can be together again, throughout this year.
See you soon!
