NKF Adds Capital Markets Team in Chicago

NKF recently added three veteran capital markets brokers to its Chicago office. Executive managing director James Postweiler and senior managing directors Peter Harwood and Derek Fohl join NKF with over 60 years of combined commercial real estate experience.

Postweiler, Harwood, and Fohl are joining NKF from JLL, where they focused on office investments. Their combined deal volume totals nearly $30 billion.

Formerly co-head of JLL’s office capital markets group in Chicago, Postweiler specialized in dispositions and recapitalization of office assets, with more than $14 billion in deals to his credit.

Harwood has more than 22 years’ experience, with deal volume exceeding $12 billion. Over the past decade, Fohl has completed $3 billion in transactions.

“The collaborative culture at NKF, as well as the opportunity to be a part of a company experiencing such impressive growth in capital markets leadership in all disciplines is extremely attractive,” said Postweiler.
