This series delves into the myriad ways people enter the commercial real estate industry and what contributes to their success.
Football gave Hugh Williams his shot at a commercial real estate career. A former inside linebacker and co-captain of the Northwestern University Wildcats, he had discovered a teammate had a father in the business, and soon after completing several degrees, that connection helped Williams find work as an industrial broker.
Several decades of experience showed him that without such connections, Black people have found it tough to break into the industrial sector. Williams’ latest gig means he can now do something about it.

Delivering a new office building in the days leading up to the stay at home order issued by Governor Pritzker in March 2020 is not exactly an ideal situation for a developer. However, after years of plotting and planning various projects on Goose Island, developer R2 Companies did exactly that by taking the wraps off 1315 North Branch, a 120,000-square-foot industrial conversion, early last year.
The company has been active on Goose Island for at least the last seven years, and despite the pandemic, is pushing ahead with new leases and build-outs for office tenants. And with more developers quickly piling into the former industrial pocket along the Chicago River’s North Branch, Goose Island is likely to look and feel completely transformed in the coming years.
