OAK BROOK, IL—Brian M. Conlon has retired before, only to return to the real estate industry. But officials from Inland Real Estate Investment Corp. say the longtime Inland veteran has now completed a one-year commitment to help the company complete a key merger, and will retire from the industry on August 1.

Conlon spent 15 years at Inland, eventually becoming the chief executive officer of IREIC. He retired at the end of 2012, but came back to the Inland group just eight months later as chief executive officer of Inland Securities Corp., the managing broker-dealer for IREIC.

As reported in GlobeSt.com, Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. recently completed a $2.1 billion merger with Kite Realty Group Trust, and Conlon assisted new Inland leadership with the transitioning of responsibilities.

“It was an honor to work with Mitchell Sabshon, the new chief executive officer of IREIC,” says Conlon. Sabshon, the former chief operating officer of Cole Real Estate Investments, took the position last August. “Inland has a long track record of success, and under Mitchell's leadership as chief executive officer it will continue to grow and be one of the top sponsors in the industry.”

“Brian's many long-term industry relationships and his excellent reputation greatly facilitated my assumption of leadership responsibilities during the first year of my tenure, and I am grateful to him for his insights,” says Sabshon.
