Curious City, a popular WBEZ Chicago Public Radio series investigating questions submitted by listeners, recently set out to determine Chicago’s oldest #familyowned business. Longtime #realestate #brokerage and Taylor Johnson client Baird & Warner was a top contender for the title. Founded in 1855, it has remained in the Baird family for five generations. The TJ team facilitated an interview between the WBEZ reporter and Baird & Warner CEO Steve Baird as well as provided a selection of historical images from the company’s archive. So, is Baird & Warner Chicago’s oldest family business? The answer is in today's #TJTALK : https://conta.cc/48OrOiV

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money, and Taylor Johnson client NAI Hiffman had the expertise to know its bet on a speculative #medicalsuite would pay off in Hinsdale, Ill. Hiffman’s Brian Edgerton advised his client, Remedy Medical Properties, on converting long-vacant conventional #officespace into a state-of-the-art #medicalclinic . Many landlords shy away from these types of upfront #investments , but the 2,330-square-foot suite ended up leasing to a plastic surgery practice before #construction even finished. We knew the successful repositioning would be of interest to media and worked to secure coverage in outlets including Connect CRE Chicago & Midwest, REBusinessOnline, REjournals and Healthcare Real Estate Insights.

Being featured in Urban Land Magazine, published quarterly by the Urban Land Institute , is a highly regarded placement for many Taylor Johnson clients, which is why our team stays in frequent contact with its editors and reporters to identify potential opportunities for our sources. Recently we learned a reporter was seeking thought leaders to discuss ways #urban #downtowns can rejuvenate their core following the pandemic-driven shift to more #hybrid and #remotework . We put the writer in touch with Anzhelika Arbatskaia , senior associate with TJ client Baker Barrios Architects , to share her insights as a designer and urban planner. Read more about her strategies – from shifting public perception to incorporating nature – in today's #TJTALK : https://conta.cc/48OvIbm

Last week, the Fed dropped #interestrates for the second time in two months. In anticipation of this news, Multifamily Dive reached out to Taylor Johnson for expert insight on what this could mean for the apartment sector. In the resulting article, TJ clients Interra Realty and Marquette Companies expressed cautious optimism. As they pointed out, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose in the weeks leading up to the election, and there are plenty of factors beyond interest rates that drive #investment and #development activity. However, if further reductions come in the months ahead, as most expect, the #multifamily sector should gain momentum. Read more in today’s #TJTALK : https://conta.cc/4fiAoZC
