HEARN is a Chicago-based real estate firm with a long history of owning and operating institutional-quality commercial properties across the United States for more than four decades. It manages its own investments and collaborates with partners to create value, whether by repositioning underperforming assets or enhancing core properties. The firm maintains a hands-on ownership approach and focuses on improving efficiency and profitability through active asset management. The executive team has worked together for more than 30 years, providing continuity to its operating platform. The portfolio includes properties such as 2 N LaSalle, 70 West Madison, and 875 N Michigan Ave in Chicago, as well as 10 West Broad in Columbus and BMO Plaza in Indianapolis. Founded in 1974 and based in Chicago, HEARN operates with a mid-sized team and emphasizes a sustained management and ownership culture. In 2022, the company engaged Cushman & Wakefield to lease a building-within-a-building concept and announced plans to convert selected floors into a 130,000-square-foot medical office space within a landmark high-rise.
