Filling vacancies with the right tenants is key to keeping your property profitable. At Horizon Realty, we take a strategic, hands-on approach to commercial leasing—marketing your space effectively, negotiating favorable lease terms, and ensuring long-term tenant success.

Whether you own a retail center, office building, or industrial space, our 30+ years of leasing experience helps position your property for maximum value and stability.

Comprehensive Leasing Solutions for Property Owners

Leasing a commercial property involves more than just listing a space. It requires market insight, proactive outreach, and strong negotiation skills to secure tenants that align with your investment goals. Our team handles the entire leasing process—from marketing and tenant sourcing to lease structuring and renewals—so you don’t have to.

Targeted Marketing & Tenant Sourcing

Attracting the right tenants starts with the right marketing strategy. We use a mix of local market expertise, broker relationships, and direct outreach to find businesses that are a strong fit for your property.

Lease Negotiation & Structuring

Getting a lease signed is just the beginning—structuring the right lease terms protects your investment for years to come. We handle lease negotiations with a focus on stability, profitability, and risk management.

Tenant Retention & Lease Renewals

Keeping good tenants in place reduces turnover and maintains steady cash flow. We take a proactive approach to renewals, ensuring that existing tenants are engaged, satisfied, and incentivized to stay long-term.

WHat our clients say

Horizon Realty values hearing from our clients, and their testimonials affirm the strength of our partnerships and the positive impact of our work.

"A valuable partner in our success"

I worked with Ilija and Horizon on a multi-tenant restaurant anchored retail center in Elk Grove Village. Our firm specialized in industrial development but we retained this property as part of a larger development. Ilija and his team were incredibly good in providing us clear direction on how to manage this property, dealing with the tenants and providing accurate and timely cash flow and operating statements. His team really shined during the challenges presented during the Covid lockdowns and without their expertise and excellent management, our outcome on this project would have been much different. They truly were a valuable partner in our success in acquiring, leasing and selling this property.


- Jim Mcgill, CA Ventures

"He played a key role"

I have worked with Ilija on a few transactions in the past 10 years. I was the leading broker selling the asset and he was the existing manager. On each transaction, he played a key role in identifying the important aspects that benefited both sides in the deal. He has built a great team around him and will be a continued asset for any property owner looking for an experienced manager.
