Transwestern Beefs Up Industrial Practice

CHICAGO—The Chicago industrial market plays a key role in the US economy, especially in the field of logistics and distribution, and Transwestern officials have said they consider establishing a strong presence in the sector here imperative. In January, for example, the Houston-based firm acquired Epic Realty Partners, an industrial real estate group in suburban Rosemont. The addition of Epic made Transwestern one of the region’s top five industrial real estate providers.

And Transwestern has just bolstered the Rosemont operation by hiring Bradley Migdal, a 10-year industry veteran, as executive managing director to lead its industrial site selection and business incentives practice. Transwestern now has a 25-person team in Rosemont.
