BLOCK HAWLEY

What BLOCK HAWLEY does

Block Hawley Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC is a St. Louis-headquartered, full-service commercial real estate firm founded in 2007 by Jeffrey R. Hawley. The company operates from a single office in Chesterfield, Missouri and focuses on the industrial segment of the St. Louis metropolitan market, with affiliate-driven reach into Kansas City, Northwest Arkansas, and Shreveport, Louisiana via the Block Real Estate Services, LLC (BRES) network. Its service portfolio spans industrial sales/leasing/development brokerage, tenant representation, property management, construction management, in-house marketing, and the contract-based Block Maintenance Solutions (BMS) maintenance arm, supplemented by affiliate access to the Block Funds private equity platform (over $1B in commercial property) and the Block Multifamily Group.

The firm's operating model is a relationship-driven, sales-led brokerage without proprietary technology platforms. Revenue is generated through a mix of transaction commissions on commercial sales and leases (leased space reportedly priced between $1.75 and $15.50 per sq. ft. on a Triple Net basis, with gross leases around $12.50 per sq. ft. and trailer parking at $75 per spot per month), recurring managed-services fees on the 7M+ sq. ft. under management, and professional-services fees for construction supervision and maintenance contracts. The company markets primarily through its own website, a self-serve property search portal, a recurring annual St. Louis Industrial Market Report series (2020-2024), and third-party listings on LoopNet and Crexi.

The firm is privately held as an LLC, employs 11-50 people, and reports cumulative operational scale of 8.5M+ sq. ft. of listed commercial property, 7M+ sq. ft. under management, 2M+ sq. ft. of industrial transactions, and $100M+ in total sales and leasing transaction value. There are no disclosed funding rounds, investors, M&A activity, or public-market participation, and the available data does not include company-level revenue, ARR, or headcount growth figures.

Direct peers

• SVN International Corporation: Commercial real estate brokerage franchisor with strong industrial and investment sales focus. Comparable because SVN affiliates in the Midwest compete for the same mid-market industrial owners and investors that Block Hawley serves, with similar commission-based economics.
• Block Real Estate Services, LLC (BRES): The Kansas City-based affiliate and strategic partner of Block Hawley, operating as a full-service CRE firm with 45M+ SF. Directly comparable because it offers the same integrated brokerage, property management, and investment services in a different metro, and its scale sets the upper benchmark for what Block Hawley could grow into within the Block network.
• Marcus & Millichap: Specialized CRE investment sales brokerage with a national network. Comparable because Marcus & Millichap actively brokers industrial and net-leased assets in secondary Midwest markets, competing with Block Hawley's investment services for similar private investor clients.

Broad incumbents

• Newmark Group: Full-service CRE advisor offering leasing, investment sales, and property management. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for industrial and office mandates in secondary Midwest markets similar to St. Louis.
• Colliers International: Global CRE services firm offering brokerage, property management, and advisory across industrial, office, and multifamily. Comparable because Colliers' St. Louis industrial team competes head-to-head with Block Hawley for owner and tenant representation mandates in the same submarkets.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global CRE services and investment management firm with brokerage, property management, and construction services. Directly comparable to Block Hawley across its service portfolio, though JLL operates at global scale with institutional clients Block Hawley also targets in St. Louis.
• CBRE Group: World's largest commercial real estate services firm, providing investment sales, leasing, and property management. Comparable because Block Hawley's industrial brokerage and property management offerings compete for the same institutional clients across asset classes in the Midwest.
• NAI Global: Global network of independently owned commercial real estate brokerage firms. Comparable because local NAI affiliates operate in the St. Louis industrial market with similar full-service brokerage and property management offerings targeting the same owner and tenant base.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global full-service commercial real estate firm offering brokerage, property management, and valuation services. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same institutional industrial and office mandates in the St. Louis / Midwest market, albeit at vastly greater scale.

Regional players

• Block Multifamily Group (BMG): Affiliate of Block Hawley that provides multifamily management and investment services in Kansas City, Northwest Arkansas, and Shreveport, Louisiana. Comparable because it shares the Block brand/network and offers management + investment services in adjacent asset classes, though focused on multifamily and a different geography.
