Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC’s Joe Cosenza Highlights 50 Years in the Commercial Real Estate Industry at REDinCHI and RealConnex Event

Oak Brook, Ill. – Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC (“Inland Acquisitions”) announced today that Joe Cosenza, a vice chairman of The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC and president of Inland Acquisitions, was the featured speaker at a networking event hosted by REDinCHI and RealConnex in Chicago on April 19. Interviewed by RealConnex CEO Roy Abrams during the event’s “Fireside Chat,” Cosenza shared highlights from The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc.’s (“Inland”) 50 years in the commercial real estate industry and insights into the trends that have shaped the industry.

The “Fireside Chat” began by highlighting Inland’s history in the industry. Founded in 1968 by four Chicago Public School teachers – Daniel Goodwin, Joe Cosenza, Bob Baum and Bob Parks – Cosenza shared how Inland came from humble beginnings and has successfully stayed in business for 50 years.

“We’ve always respected one another and one another’s ideas. But most importantly, we’ve respected everyone we’ve dealt with, especially the 480,000 investors who have invested with us over the years.”

Cosenza continued to discuss his favorite highlight in Inland’s history, “My business partners and I were able to give jobs to approximately 2,000 people over the past 50 years. That’s one of the greatest accomplishments I’ve ever had.”

Looking ahead, Cosenza believes technology will continue to play a significant role in real estate, and has already had a tremendous impact on the industry.

The event also featured networking with a variety of industry professionals and representatives from RealConnex, an online platform for real estate professionals to network, connect and gain access to various resources and services.
