Neighbors make our properties great.

Great real estate isn’t just about what’s inside the building. It’s about the people, businesses, and energy that surround it. ✨

At Variant, you’re right next door to FXB North Loop and Killen’s Irish Pub, with Graze Food Hall, Rise Bagels, Smack Shack, Fulton Taproom, Sunrise Banks, and more just steps away. 🥊🍻🥯🍔🦞

It’s a neighborhood with plenty of reasons to grab a coffee, meet a friend, stay for dinner, or make a day of it—and a pretty great setting for your business, too.

That’s the opportunity at Variant. Explore what’s possible.

A good afternoon to step away from the office. ⛳️

Yesterday the Element team spent the afternoon at Columbia Golf Course with our resident golf coach, Ian McRoberts, who started with a quick lesson on grip before putting it into practice on the driving range. We followed that up with a chipping lesson and a little friendly competition in a bump-and-run contest.

JoAnna Hicks took the win over Ian by just an inch! Please extend your congratulations next time you see her.

We celebrated this big win and a growing confidence in our golf game at 56 Brewing with some cold beverages and more time spent together.

It’s always nice to step away from the office, take advantage of a beautiful summer day, try something new, and spend time together outside of work. A little perspective, some friendly competition, and a few laughs made for a great afternoon with a great team. ☀️💙

Good design creates good work.

4009 E. Lake Street offers a rare opportunity to own OR lease a beautifully designed workspace in the heart of the Longfellow neighborhood!

Currently configured as a coworking environment, the flexible layout lends itself to creative firms, professional services, nonprofits, wellness practices, or entrepreneurs looking for a space that's ready to support growth in a vibrant setting.

For those thinking bigger, the property can also be purchased with the neighboring lot, creating opportunities for future expansion and long-term investment in this vibrant stretch of Lake Street.

If you're looking for a workspace that reflects your brand as much as your business, we'd love to show you around.

Every business has a real estate journey.

It rarely starts with, "We need a broker." Instead, it starts with questions:

Should we lease or buy?
Can we negotiate better terms?
Will this space support our growth?
Which market should we expand next?

Whether you're signing your first lease, opening your fifth location, renewing an existing space, or evaluating a long-term investment, each decision builds on the last.

That’s where our Tenant Advisory approach comes in.

At Element, we partner with businesses throughout every stage of their growth, from market analysis and site selection to lease negotiations, workplace strategy, portfolio planning, and acquisitions. Our role isn't just finding space; it's helping clients make confident real estate decisions that support their business for years to come.

Swipe through to see how that journey often unfolds and where your business might fit in.

If you're thinking about your next move, we'd love to start the conversation.
