CHICAGO—AmTrust Realty Corp. has just chosen JLL as its exclusive leasing agent for the 135 S. LaSalle and 33 W. Monroe office towers in downtown Chicago. AmTrust bought the latter property in 2004 and, as reported in GlobeSt.com, bought 135 S. LaSalle in 2008.
With these new assignments, JLL is now responsible for New York-based AmTrust's 2.9-million-square-foot Chicago portfolio, which, in addition to the 1.4-million-square-foot 135 S. LaSalle and the 900,000-square-foot 33 W. Monroe, also includes the 580,000-square-foot tower at One East Wacker Dr.
JLL senior vice president Melissa Rubenstein and vice president Mark Georgas will oversee leasing efforts at both the Monroe and LaSalle buildings. Senior vice president Monica Moore and senior associate John Beason will continue to handle the One East Wacker assignment.
“JLL is proud to partner with AmTrust Realty and serve as their exclusive leasing agent in Chicago,” said Rubenstein in a statement. “Our portfolio leasing strategy combined with AmTrust's commitment to the continued success of these assets provides a strong foundation for the future success of all three buildings."
Company officials could not be reached for additional comment by press time.
