Steven Kohn

Based in Avison Young’s suburban Chicago office in Rosemont, IL, Steven specializes in property transactions, including lease negotiations, landlord and tenant representation, acquisitions and dispositions. Kohn brings 22 years of commercial real estate brokerage experience in Chicago to Avison Young, most recently as an executive vice-president with Colliers International. Kohn’s services include site selection, incentive procurement, labor studies, union penetration analysis, lease negotiation, lease renegotiation, lease buyouts, capital market interaction and investment sales. Over the past two decades, Kohn has assisted multiple Chicago-area companies looking to right-size to either other locations in Chicago, suburban industrial parks, or to bordering states. Often times Kohn simultaneously finds clients a new location while disposing of their former location. Kohn’s accomplishments include helping his client of 15 years, a major home improvement retailer, revamp its entire distribution network, including the recent lease of a 1.8 million-square-foot internet distribution build-to-suit. He has also negotiated more than $30 million in tax incentives for his clients. In the community, Kohn coaches youth hockey. Steven enjoys spending time at the ice rink playing, coaching and watching hockey with his wife and son; fronting many Chicago blues bands as a soul singer. Prior to entering the real estate industry, he was the co-publisher of The Blue Line game program, which was sold outside Chicago Stadium and the United Center.
