Cushman & Wakefield’s Chicago office added the multifamily institutional investment sales team of KIG CRE.

The eight-person team is led by Susan Tjarksen, Todd Stofflet and Jason Stevens, who joined Cushman as managing directors last week, the company said.

KIG CRE brokered more than $2.4 billion in multifamily sales covering more than 33,000 apartments.
