As managing editor of Chicago's Lerner Newspapers, Glen covered retail and office development along North Michigan Avenue as well as hotel and multifamily development in the neighborhoods bordering Lake Michigan.

As Thompson takes the bureau chief seat, GlobeSt.com celebrates its one-year anniversary. President and publisher Jonathan Schein reflected recently on the advances the website has made in its short existence: "It's been an incredible ride. It's been a year in which we've been recognized for our journalistic excellence by the National Association of Real Estate Editors, and we've created solid news-and-information content that is unparalleled in the industry. The next year can only build on that success."
