The RFP management portfolio includes 1 million square feet of industrial space and 600,000 square feet of office space, according to the RFP website.

Siegel-Gallagher employees were informed about the merger late this week.

In April 2016, Patrick Gallagher, who founded the real estate brokerage firm Siegel-Gallagher, left the firm to join competitor CBRE as an investment broker.

Gallagher’s former partners purchased the brokerage firm from him, but later joined Houston-based Transwestern, which expanded their office services in southeastern Wisconsin in October.

Siegel-Gallagher also owns the management company, which has been run by John Matheson and Behnke.

At the time, several sources said Behnke and Matheson were in talks with Milwaukee-area brokerage firms about merging.
