"It's not just a dollars and cents decision," says Staubach Co. senior vice president Martin F. Jablonski, whose company has been hired by the Chicago Archdiocese. "The Archdiocese is ambitious about returning the land to vital, community use."
The assignment is not a typical list-and-sell situation, Jablonski suggests to GlobeSt.com.
