OLD FRIENDS, NEW BUSINESS

Daniels Slone LLC  sounds plain, but what a history! Joyce Slone and Lee Daniels grew up in the same Elmhurst neighborhood. She spent 30 years in commercial real estate; he, 40 as a lawyer, most recently as Speaker of the Illinois House.

They're listing several suburban office and office/flex spaces in DuPage County, including two 10k-SF spaces, a 75k SF retail/office flex building, and a 45k-SF space in Oak Brook with Grubb & Ellis. Lee is also serving on the Inland Real Estate REIT Board.
