Lee & Associates, NAI LaSala-Sonnenberg to merge

Mike Sonnenberg

The newly combined commercial real estate firms have announced a merger as of January 1, and will go by the name of NAI LaSala-Sonnenberg Heartland in the transition phase. Mike Sonnenberg will be managing partner. By January 1, 2017, the firm’s name will permanently become NAI Heartland Commercial.

The firm’s eight partners include Nathan Anderson, Jon England, Russell Pearson (all formerly of Lee & Associates Kansas City), and Mike Sonnenberg, Ray Sonnenberg, Carl LaSala, Brandon LaSala and Chad LaSala (all formerly of NAI LaSala-Sonnenberg). The firm will offer retail, office and industrial brokerage services, investment services, property management and commercial real estate consulting services. The firm consists of 16 brokers and 7 staff people.

“Nathan Anderson and I believe that this merger allows our combined agencies a broader, stronger platform on which to compete in Kansas City and globally,” Mike Sonnenberg said. “This merger will help to strengthen and improve service lines, and add experience at the local Principal level for those Kansas City area clients who value a locally owned and controlled service provider.”
