Tenants Choose Historic Downtown Buildings

CHICAGO- America's Second Harvest expands it space at 35 E. Wacker Dr. to 26,830 sf while Holabird & Root signs a 18,380-sf lease at 140 S. Dearborn St.

CHICAGO-Two Downtown historic office buildings have reduced vacancies, one with an 18,380-sf new lease and the other with a 5,000-sf expansion. America’s Second Harvest has expanded its office space by nearly 25% at 35 E. Wacker Dr. while Holabird & Root is taking the fifth floor of the Marquette Building at 140 S. Dearborn St.

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.
