JLL BACK TO BACK DRESL CHAMPS

The 31st Downtown Real Estate Softball League season came to a close with Jones Lang LaSalle  taking home (and breaking) the formerly taller trophy (again).

Grubb lost 15 brokers in June, but Mike says they're still holding strong and seeing a lot of action in the investment sales market. Late last month, Grubb's sale-leaseback team sold three buildings in Sauk Village and Texas.

Lee also hosted his annual trivia contest, where he handed out more than $2,500 in cash prizes (we learned that you can win $80 by knowing that the  Boston Bruins  are the only pro team to make the playoffs 29 consecutive years). Golub is working on LEED certification for several of its buildings, including 225 W Washington.
