CHICAGO—The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., was already one of the nation's largest commercial real estate and finance organizations, but it has continued to grow at a robust pace, hiring nearly 300 people nationwide in the last year.

“Over the past year, we have hired employees across the nation in a variety of our business areas and entities, with a specific focus on increasing our property management group as Inland continues to add assets in its multifamily residential business,” Nora O'Connor, president of Inland Human Resources, tells GlobeSt.com.

The companies that are members of the Oak Brook, IL-based Inland group cumulatively employ about 1,000 people nationwide. In the last year, as the nation has reported minimal improvements to the unemployment rate, company officials say they have experienced a steady employee retention rate in addition to increased hiring efforts for newly created positions.

Inland specializes in creating, developing and supporting member companies that sponsor real estate-related investment funds, including limited partnerships, institutional funds and non-listed REITs, and provide real estate services for both third parties and Inland member companies. Inland member companies have owned and managed hundreds of millions of square feet of commercial property in 49 states.

“We expect Inland's hiring pace to remain steady as we also work to maintain our long-standing employees that have greatly contributed to the success of our company over the years,” O'Connor adds.
