Executive Starts Industrial Tenant Rep Firm

NORTHBROOK, IL-Marat Safir, who left UGL Equis' Industrial Practice Group, has branched off to start his own niche company.

NORTHBROOK, IL-Former UGL Equis executive Marat Safir has started his own tenant representation firm, after having left the company earlier this year to branch off on his own. The new company, Taurus Realty Partners, will focus exclusively on industrial users in the Chicago region.

Safir has managed more than 200 industrial transactions totaling more than $400 million in his career since 1996, spending nearly the past decade with UGL Equis as an associate VP and helping develop the company’s Industrial Practice Group.

“There’s not that many tenant rep firms to begin with, but to specifically hone in on industrial users, there are so few I can count them on one hand,” Safir tells GlobeSt.com. “Due to the lack of them in the market, and because of so many mergers and consolidations of real estate in the marketplace, there’s a real need for this type of niche.”
