We are pleased to welcome Mr. Paul Beitler, President of Beitler Real Estate Corporation www.beitlerre.com as our next speaker.

Prior to starting Beitler Real Estate Corporation, J. Paul Beitler was co-founder of Miglin-Beitler Development with his partner, Lee Miglin. Beitler Real Estate Corporation was founded by J. Paul Beitler following the death of Lee Miglin in 1997.

Over the course of Mr. Beitler’s 30 year real estate career, he has achieved a remarkable financial success record for his partners and investors. Mr. Beitler has been responsible for the development of over 10 million square feet of Class A office space, including some of the largest and most architecturally distinguished building in the City and suburbs. Many of these developments sold for the highest values in the history of Chicago providing unprecedented financial returns for investors. J. Paul Beitler has been one of Chicago’s best known real estate leaders and most productive developers for over thirty years. His high profile developments and detailed management style have placed him and his firm among Chicago’s most respected real estate teams in the history of Chicago.

Prior to entering the real estate world, Mr. Beitler served in the Vietnam War where he earned the Army’s Bronze Star. He returned to the United States and eventually began his career as a real estate broker in Chicago. Mr. Beitler has been recognized as one of Chicago’s most powerful real estate brokers, most well known for acting as the sole broker in the largest single transaction in the history of Chicago - the long term lease of Bank One Center by Bank One (650,000sf). In 1991 Mr. Beitler made international headlines when he unveiled plans to develop the tallest building in the world, the Miglin-Beitler Tower. Ultimately the project lost steam due to the recession of the global economy, however, Mr. Beitler’s other successful developments have earned the respect of business leaders and competitors alike.

In addition to his success and involvement in the business world, Mr. Beitler is extremely active in many prominent civic, cultural and business institutions. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Science and Industry, Board of Trustees for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Member of the Architecture Committee of the Art Institute of Chicago and is on the International Board of Directors for the Frederic Remington Art Museum in New York.
