Real estate veteran Bill Beall dead at 68

Posted online
Veteran commercial real estate agent Bill Beall died July 5 after a two-year bout with cancer.

Officials with Bill Beall Co. Inc. said the company founder died in his Montana home, outside of Livingston. He was 68.

In an e-mail sent this morning to colleagues in the commercial real estate industry, Beall Co. designated broker Nancy Herchenroeder said it would be “business as usual” in the company’s office, 2905 S. National Ave.

“Bill structured his succession plan and took care of all the necessary paperwork some time ago, so our transition has already taken place,” Herchenroeder wrote in the e-mail sent through Xceligent, a listing service for commercial agents. “While we will never be able to fill Bill’s shoes, we will do everything in our power to carry on his legacy with pride and confidence.”

Beall founded the commercial and industrial real estate company in 1977 after graduating from the University of Missouri and serving in the Vietnam War.

The firm has represented The Swisshelm Group, Summer Fresh Supermarkets and Dairy Farmers of America, according to www.billbeall.com. Deals in recent years include initiating the ground lease for Logan’s Roadhouse on East Battlefield Road, and build-to-suit projects such as Zio’s Italian Kitchen and Starbucks Coffee.

The company manages more than 420,000 square feet of warehouse space, including Chestnut Warehouse, as well as retail and office centers, most notably Kickapoo Corners.

According to a funeral notice published in the July 7 Springfield News-Leader, Beall is survived by his wife, JoNell Johnson Beall. Funeral services will be private, the obituary said.[[In-content Ad]]
