This is what Crain's Chicago Business says about Pollina Real Estate, Inc.

"Ronald Pollina, president and CEO of Pollina Corporate Real Estate, Inc. in Park Ridge, got an assignment from Peoria- based Caterpillar Inc. to find a site for a new combine plant- anywhere that was economical. Mr. Pollina surveyed dozens of markets, studying both real estate and labor costs, and settled on Omaha, Neb. He then negotiated a generous incentive package from the state, county, and city to build a 300,000 square foot plant on 150 acres."

"Mr. Pollina, a real estate economist, has a Ph.D. Most of his brokers
are attorneys."

"It takes a special kind of real estate
to make deals like that"
