| Death and taxes still seem pretty certain, but Liston & Tsantilis'Brian Liston and Peter Tsantilis have found ways to ease the stress of the latter (which may delay the former). It's earned them roles in some of Chicago's biggest transactions, like the 185k SFwarehouse for Preferred Freezer on Anne Lurie Boulvard on the city's southwest side; it was the first LEED Platinum Freezer Coolerbuilding in the country. They've worked on the country's first LEED certified 600k SF Industrial Distribution Warehouse in Aurora. And also repped Block 37 in its tax issues, to successfully steer it through the tangled process. | |

| Brian, who captained the Purdue football team and lent the school colors to his firm logo, says recent changes in government in Cook County have affected the real estate tax business. New AssessorJoe Berrios is spending a lot of time looking at the evidence before he makes a decision on an assessment appeal, while Cook County board president Toni Preckwinkle has shown she's very pro-business and is helping companies get incentives for their new and existing real estate. As for Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel? Peter and Brian say it's too soon to tell, but they're hoping he'll continue Mayor Daley's pro-development lead. Brian and Peter were named among the Top Real Estate Tax Lawyers in Illinois by Leading Lawyers. |
