CHICAGO—CBRE has just brought on two more executives who previously worked at Jones Lang LaSalle to help lead their Economic Incentives Group. Eric Stavriotis and Chris Schastok have joined CBRE Chicago's Occupier Practice Group in addition to the incentives group. Earlier this summer, New York-based Susan Harte also moved over to CBRE's Economic Incentives Group from JLL, where she specialized in advising companies how to maximize tax breaks and other forms of state assistance. The CBRE incentives group helps clients negotiate with federal, state and municipal economic development officials and find financial, tax and economic incentives.
Both Stavriotis and Chris Schastok were members of Jones Lang LaSalle's Business and Economic Incentives Group where they focused on site selection and incentive negotiations, incentives administration, labor strategy, location advisory, footprint configuration and overall real estate strategy.
Stavriotis previously served as director of consulting at Pollina Corporate Real Estate Inc. His responsibilities there included acting as lead engagement manager for clients, performing location advisory, economic incentives negotiations and tenant representation services. And Schastok previously served as an associate at SmithBucklin, where he acted as the liaison between professionals from a mergers and acquisitions association and lead decision makers from national private equity groups.
