Toronto’s Avison Young adds team in Chicago

The strength of the industrial market in Chicagoland is the focus for a new team that has joined Avison Young in the region.

The Toronto-headquartered global real estate firm’s growth continues unabated with the addition of highly regarded industry veterans Adam Haefner and Brian Colson, who become principals of the firm.

Haefner and Colson have 40 years of combined commercial real estate brokerage experience with Haefner most recently a director of brokerage services with Darwin Realty, while Colson was an executive vice-president with NAI Hiffman.

They are joined by Zeke Rowan, senior associate, and Martin Mikaitis, associate who will continue to work as a team with Haefner.

“Avison Young has the resources necessary to service my team’s existing clients and continue to grow our business in Chicago and beyond,” said Haefner. “I was also attracted to the opportunity to be part of a Principal-led ownership group within a growing company and to have an impact on the firm’s growth and direction. Most importantly, the culture is one of collaboration and honesty, and I knew very early on that I would be a fit with Avison Young.”
