Over the past few years, Greater Illinois Title Company (GIT) has established itself in the commercial/construction market by capturing signature projects in the city and suburbs. By providing 'one-stop shopping' capabilities for commercial, industrial and new construction projects, GIT facilitates transactions and tailors its services based upon customer need.

Builders, lenders, developers and the attorneys who represent them have the ability to choose from a menu of services for projects of all sizes. The expanded menu of services that GIT offers includes 1031 tax deferred exchanges facilitated by Greater Illinois Tax Deferred Exchange Corporation, new construction services including land development projects, owner and lender construction escrows, condominium services including declaration compliance review, real estate tax services, REALINFO , a web-based real estate information service, and full ALTA surveys through Greater Illinois Survey Company.

GIT's commercial and construction portfolio of transactions include office buildings, industrial warehouses, shopping centers, hospitals, multi-lot subdivisions, townhouse developments and numerous condominium conversions. The company's expanded menu of services helps to provide its commercial/construction customers with a special degree of customized service designed especially for them. This helps the customer preserve resources so that they may be devoted to more important and profitable activities.

"Personal attention to details, solid underwriting, timely closings and responsiveness to problems are the reasons we use GIT," states Richard T. Gammonley, President of The Gammonley Group, developers of the 247 units at the 1111 South Wabash Condominium and the newly approved 200 unit development at Chicago Avenue and Orleans. "They help us to be more efficient and, as a result, more competitive."

In addition to developments in the city, GIT handles numerous suburban projects and its presence is growing in the robust commercial/industrial sector. This is attributable to specially dedicated resources, innovative problem solving and personalized service afforded to commercial/industrial real estate brokers and developers. In addition, GIT has the ability to extend out many of its services to their branch offices which makes it convenient and time effective for customers and contractors alike. As a full service title company, GIT has followed the growth in the Chicago commercial/industrial real estate market and its market share continues to expand in this segment.
