Bio
Michael Kazmierczak brings 30+ years of commercial real estate experience to his role as an Executive Vice President in the firm's Agency Leasing group, joining CBRE in 2014 through the acquisition of U.S. Equities Realty. Michael has extensive office leasing expertise in all CBD submarkets with the full spectrum of product types.
Most notably, from 2007 to 2015, Michael directed the leasing team at the iconic Willis Tower where his team achieved more than four million square feet of leasing transactions during his tenure, including the successful execution of United Airlines’ 830,000 RSF lease, one the largest office leases in the history of Chicago.
Most recently Michael led the team that completed more than 300,000 square feet of highly competitive and complex lease transactions at 353 North Clark including retaining existing anchor law firm Jenner & Block. Michael also leads the office leasing at 15 East Oak, where the team worked closely with ownership to design and execute a successful redevelopment and partial conversion from retail to high-end, boutique office, and completed multiple transactions taking the office component from zero to 77% since delivery in 3Q 2021. In the North Michigan Avenue submarket, since 1993 Kazmierczak has consistently achieved the highest net rates while maintaining above market occupancy in a portfolio of Class A mixed-use office properties along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile.
Kazmierczak joined U.S. Equities Realty in 1990 as a Property Manager for a 63,000 RSF northwest suburban office building. Over the span of his commercial real estate career, Michael has managed and/or leased more than 50 diverse properties, spanning each of the five major suburban Chicago submarkets as well as the CBD. He has marked success working with institutional, entrepreneurial and international owners at single story, mid-rise and high-rise office, retail, industrial, flex and mixed-use properties of all classes.
