CBRE adds office leasing team to Chicago office

CBRE hired the office leasing team of Greg Tait, Maggie Brophy and Jamion Hartley to join its Chicago office.

Tait and Brophy will join the firm as Executive Vice Presidents, and Hartley will be a First Vice President. The team joins CBRE from Irvine Company and will continue to serve the Newport Beach, California-based developer’s 4.45 million square foot Chicago trophy office portfolio, which includes 300 North LaSalle, One North Wacker, and 71 South Wacker.

Irvine Company’s Chicago portfolio is comprised of some of the city’s premier office locations with best-in-class features and amenities. CBRE has announced it will relocate its Chicago office from 321 N. Clark to the sixth and seventh floors of 300 N LaSalle. CBRE has been awarded the property management assignment for 300 N LaSalle starting September 2025.

Over the past seven months, Irvine Company has seen strong leasing momentum across its Chicago portfolio, with more than one million square feet of premium office space leased to leading global financial institutions and professional service firms spanning the legal, private equity, accounting, and insurance sectors.
