In the past two years, Jones Lang LaSalle has leased about 450,000 sf. "Specifically in 2006 we have attracted some pretty big names, and I think that kind of picked up on the momentum of 2005," he says.

One of the major new leases was the Big Ten Network, who signed in August a lease for 44,000 sf of office and studio space. Celsis Inc., a provider of products and services to the pharmaceutical and consumer products industries, will be approximately doubling their office space to 18,000 sf on the sixth floor, Despot says. Both Big Ten Network and Celsis are expected to take occupancy this summer.

Echo Global Logistics had been sharing space with Innerworkings in the building and has signed a lease for 28,000 sf of their own space, Despot says. Existing tenants Jump Trading is more than doubling its space from 13,000 sf to 28,000 sf and ProActive Marketing nearly doubled their space from 13,000 sf to 32,000 sf.
