Real estate advisors who own and operate
KWILL Real Estate is built by people who manage their own properties: we know what it takes to find the right space, close the deal, and make the asset perform. Our team provides transaction, advisory, and asset management services across Chicago's industrial corridors.
























What we do
Transaction Management
Buy-side and sell-side execution for industrial, office, and retail properties. We handle sourcing, negotiation, and closing.
Asset Management
Property performance, tenant relations, and operational oversight. We manage assets like they're our own, because some of them are.
Valuation & Advisory
Market analysis and property valuations based on real transactions, not just comps. We know what buildings actually trade for.
Portfolio Optimization
Facility analysis against your business needs. We find the gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities in your real estate footprint.
Tenant & landlord representation
We track Chicago's submarkets daily. Our team surfaces off-market opportunities before they hit listings and represents both tenants and landlords in transactions across industrial, office, and retail.
For Tenants
Site selection, lease negotiation, and access to off-market inventory
For Landlords
Tenant sourcing, lease-up strategy, and asset repositioning
Market Intelligence
Real-time insights from a team that's in the market every day


Asset management
We manage properties for institutional owners, family offices, and our own portfolio. Our approach is hands-on: we know the tenants, track the maintenance, and focus on what actually drives returns.
Portfolio Oversight
Property performance tracking, tenant relations, and operational reporting
Lease Administration
Renewals, rent collections, and tenant coordination
Value Creation
Capital improvements, repositioning, and expense management
Industries we know
We focus on sectors where we have real experience: manufacturing, logistics, food and beverage, healthcare, and more. We understand the building requirements, the regulations, and what actually matters for operations.
Manufacturing
We own and advise manufacturing businesses. We understand automation, infrastructure, and building requirements for packaging, metal fabrication, and process manufacturing.
IOS/ISF
Industrial outdoor storage and service facilities. We navigate zoning, municipal requirements, and environmental considerations for infill locations.
Food and Beverage
USDA and FDA regulated facilities for producers, shippers, and distributors. We understand the building specs, compliance requirements, and cold chain logistics.
Why clients choose KWILL
Off-market deal flow
Our consulting and capital divisions surface opportunities before they hit the market. We hear about moves, expansions, and exits early.
Operators, not just brokers
We own and manage properties ourselves. We understand what makes a building work because we've dealt with the same issues you have.
Full-service platform
Real estate, consulting, and capital under one roof. Relocations, expansions, and transitions get operational support built in.
