Wacker Dr. The Pasadena, CA-based engineering and technical service firm signed a lease for 26,362 sf on the 37th floor of Teachers Insurance Annuity Association’s 40-story building.

Mike Curran and Steve Smith of Jones Lang LaSalle, which has its US headquarters in Aon Center, represented TIAA. Although terms were not disclosed, recent published net lease rates at 1 S. Wacker Dr. start at $12 per sf.
