| The real estate industry kicked off awards season Thursday night at the TOBY/Gold Circle awards hosted by BOMA in the Union Station Great Hall. We snapped Behringer Harvard's Craig Cudzilo, The John Buck Co's Betty Traczek, and Jones Lang LaSalle's Julia Freycelebrating a best building nomination for Julia's 225 W. Wacker. She and her team helped bring the building from 71% to 86% leased in 2010 by opening a conference and fitness center and beginning a new marketing strategy. | |
