| Sure, we can all say we've sold office towers or apartment complexes, but who can say they've sold a river terminal? Try CresaPartners Liz Roberts and her teammates Brad Metzger, Sheila Matuscak, Robert Wheeler, and Chad Bermingham. The team repped CF Industries in its disposition of four river terminals it owned and operated in Albany and Peoria, Ill., St. Louis, and Cinncinati.

They selected Cresa because of its experience with many different kinds of real estate. Liz has worked in office, retail, and industrial before on national accounts. | |

Growmark bought the properties, which included the warehouses and equipment for transferring wet and dry fertilizer from the barge to a warehouse, truck, or railcar. (Bet you weren't expecting a fertilizer lesson when you woke up today). CF had maintained the properties well, which helped them get the best pricing, Liz tells us. | |
