Block Hawley Commercial Real Estate Services was founded in 2007 by Jeffrey Hawley to address the need for a locally focused industrial real estate firm in the St. Louis region. Headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, the company quickly established itself as one of the largest industrial brokerage and property management firms in the area. Through a strategic partnership with Block Real Estate Services in Kansas City, Block Hawley expanded its capabilities and market reach, integrating investment services, development, and asset management into its core offerings. The firm operates over 7 million square feet of managed commercial property and lists more than 8.5 million square feet, primarily in the industrial sector. Its investment strategy emphasizes regional industrial assets, with a focus on leasing, development, and long-term property management. Block Hawley also collaborates with Block Funds to provide private equity investment opportunities in commercial real estate.
