Bio
Companies across the U.S. rely on Charles to provide with the real estate side of their supply chain, where he assists them with the acquisition of ‘mission-critical’ distribution facilities. He also works on industrial real estate projects in the greater Chicago area – specifically along the I-55, I-80, and I-88 Corridors – representing tenants, as well as developers and property owners, in the sale leasing of industrial real estate facilities. At Colliers International, he is a senior vice president within the Industrial Advisory Group and a founding member of the Colliers Logistics and Transportation Solutions Group. With more than 20 years of experience, he is highly-skilled in all facets of the corporate real estate process. He has been nicknamed “The Elephant Killer” by his peers, a reference to his ability to complete very large and challenging transactions. He worked with the Illinois Office of Real Estate Research on valuation projects, and his articles and columns are regularly published in academic and trade journals. Prior to joining Colliers in 1997, he was president of his family real estate firm in downstate Illinois.
