As the largest tenant in the West Tower, the Lawson Products name and logo will be displayed in the building’s marble lobby, as well as on the roof and on the gateway monuments at the complex entrance.

8770 Bryn Mawr Ave., Triangle Plaza’s West Tower, is a 14-story class-A office building in the O’Hare submarket, offering easy access to suburbs and downtown via interstate highways, a CTA Blue Line rapid transit station and shuttle service to O’Hare Airport. The complex also offers onsite food service, a remodeled, 10,000-square-foot fitness center, convenience store, car wash and reserved indoor executive parking.
Lawson is relocating its corporate headquarters to Triangle Plaza from 1666 E. Touhy Ave. in Des Plaines, IL, where the company owns a mixed-use building that has housed its offices and its manufacturing facility for more than three decades.

Studley’s Learner tells GlobeSt.com that the reasons for the relocation include: the fact that the company had been at its owned facility for more than 35 years and that it was shared with the distribution facility; recruitment and retention issues; the new facility is closer to public transit; has good amenities; and allows for corporate rebranding.

According to Learner, “Thanks to favorable market conditions and an advantageous sublease, we were able to negotiate an agreement that provides Lawson Products with well-located, state-of-the-art office space, poised to aid the company in recruitment, retention and brand recognition.”

According to a recent Q3 Studley report on the office marker, downtown continued to show signs of modest improvement in the third quarter as several significant relocations and expansions were completed. Leasing activity fell only slightly in the quarter, inching down by 4.4% from 2.3 million square feet to 2.25 million square feet. Additionally, the market seems to be experiencing some momentum as several notable tenants are in the market with substantial lease requirements, the report says.
