Darwin Realty Joins CORFAC Network

Elmhurst, IL-based Darwin Realty has joined CORFAC International as the newest U.S. affiliate of the global network. Darwin is the first U.S.-based firm to join CORFAC this year, following last year’s growth of seven new firms.

“Darwin fits into our need for a strong industrial group in Chicago, complementing our existing CORFAC member ProTen Realty Group on the office side,” said 2020 CORFAC International President Alan Joel. “We are now looking at a couple of strong retail/Investment sales groups in Chicago to help round out that mega-market.”

Serving Northeast Illinois, Southern Wisconsin and Northwest Indiana, Darwin Realty/CORFAC International specializes in industrial and office brokerage, investment sales, asset/property management and development. Since Darwin’s establishment in 1975 by George Cibula and Irv Lewandowski, the firm’s brokers have spent the past four decades cultivating many long-term relationships with the area’s top business leaders.
