HSA Commercial Real Estate was recognized as a Top Leasing Firm for 2014 according to CoStar Group, the leading commercial real estate data provider. The CoStar Power Broker Awards are given to companies that demonstrate the highest levels of leasing transaction volume in a particular market, awarding the “Best of the Best” brokerage firms and dealmakers in commercial real estate nationally. HSA’s brokerage team leased over two million square feet of industrial, retail, office, and healthcare space on behalf of HSA partnerships and third-party clients in 2014 alone. Individual CoStar Power Broker Awards were also given to HSA’s Tim Thompson and the late Dave Keady.

Tim Thompson, executive vice president and managing director of the Industrial Services Division, was very active in 2014 in representing both industrial landlords and tenants. Thompson represented Industrial Income Trust in two new leases totaling 294,740 square feet with Casio America and UTI Worldwide in Aurora, and he also completed a 650,494-square-foot deal with Midwest Warehouse in Bolingbrook.

Dave Keady, senior vice president of the Retail Division, was also presented with a CoStar Power Broker Award for his accomplishments as a leasing broker in 2014. Dave served as the leasing director of HSA’s Mayfair Collection development in Wauwatosa, Wis. and completed leases with several national retailers last year including Whole Foods Market, DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, and HomeGoods. Sadly, Dave Keady, our friend and colleague, passed away late last year, but this award will serve as a reminder to all of us of Dave’s profound talent and accomplishments.
