IIC + SOW

HMS Industrial Networks is in the business of enabling machines to talk to each other. It helps the world work more efficiently. So it made sense that when this Swedish company wanted to relocate and expand its Chicago office, it used IIC to choose its specialist office tenant rep broker to handle the project. And that’s how HMS was able to choose Children’s Memorial Foundation to receive $3,654 of unrestricted funding. Then, when HMS needed to expand, again, it used IIC to choose its broker and it chose Society of Women Engineers to receive $2,429 from IIC!

CLCCRUL +IIC

Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (CLCCRUL) has been a leader in the fight, for over 50 years.

CLCCRUL is an IIC Social Justice charity.

IIC + PrimeCare

TPAN + IIC

Owners of a single family detached house on Chicago’s north side wanted a great broker to list their home and they wanted to support their favorite charity, at no personal expense.

HealthConnect One + IIC

When the owner of Belle + Beau wanted to open a store on the northwest side of Chicago, she used IIC to find a specialist retail tenant rep.

It’s also how the owner of this high-end baby clothes & toy store was able to choose a charity whose mission promoting newborn & maternal health was perfectly aligned with her brand, HealthConnect One, to receive $714.68. It just makes sense.

HAI + IIC

Housing Action IL chose an office tenant rep through IIC when it wanted to renew its lease for Chicago office space and again when it wanted to relocate into new space.That’s all it took to achieve the best results for its office leases.

Dreams for Kids + IIC

When his lawfirm’s lease was about a year from ending, Steven Pontikes used Investing In Communities to choose a tenant-rep to negotiate his new office lease. Because Steve was friends with its founder, he chose Dreams for Kids to receive $3,111 of unrestricted IIC funding. And, because Urban Partnership Bank asked IIC to use a raffle to distribute the $42,000 of unrestricted fuding that resulted from its own office lease because it also chose its office tenant rep through IIC, Dreams for Kids received another $5,000. We are so proud to support Dreams For Kids, making more dreams come true!

The owners of Associated Publications are animal lovers!
