Harvey and McPhee began their partnership in 1987 and together have completed more than 400 transactions valued well in excess of $1 billion dollars. "The key reason we came to LaSalle revolves around the fact that they were looking for a senior leasing team that possessed the skills to come in and take advantage of the relationships and infrastructure the company had created," Dan Harvey told GlobeSt.com. "I think the core driving factor for Jim and I to make the transition is that we were looking for a way to take our transactional skill sets and apply them so that they could be wrapped around a broader context of real estate services thereby creating greater opportunities for all of us.

"We both wanted to be part of a firm that had geographic strength globally and locally, specifically with a San Francisco presence. Jones Lang LaSalle was especially appealing to us because the company's overall philosophy encourages the combination of transactional and advisory services in a way that traditional brokerage firms do not."

Previously with Prentiss Properties, they were responsible for managing lease transactions for a 5-million-sf office and industrial portfolio and served as market specialists advising Prentiss on the acquisition of more than 2.2 million square feet of office and industrial product and development sites for more than 1 million square feet of office space.
