America's Second Harvest, whose food banks have been tapped by Hurricane Katrina victims, now has 26,830 sf at the 79-year-old building, its headquarters since 2002. However, Holabird & Root's relocation from 300 W. Adams St. is a homecoming of sorts, as the architectural firm designed the Marquette Building in 1895. The firm is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.
Holabird & Root will move into the Marquette Building following more than a year of negotiations. Grubb & Ellis senior vice presidents Bob Palffy and Sven Sykes and senior associate Todd Schaefer represented Holabird & Root. L.J. Sheridan & Co. chief executive officer and president Patrick J. Caruso handled negotiations for the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
The America's Second Harvest expansion gives the network of 211 regional food banks more efficient space. "As a non-profit, we are constantly exploring ways to cut costs without compromising the quality of the service we deliver," says America's Second Harvest chief financial officer Roberta Lane.
Studley executive vice president Richard Schuham represented America's Second Harvest in negotiations with TDC Canada's Rudy Banducci. The 40-story building, deemed a Chicago landmark in 1994, was the tallest in the US outside of New York City when it was built in 1927.
