chi-620nlasalle (2) Next Realty’s 620 N. LaSalle at the corner of Ontario St. once hosted Sports Authority, but soon could provide creative office space.

CHICAGO—River North is about to see another renovation of a historic structure or a new office tower that could rise 17 stories and total as much as 250,000 square feet. Skokie-based Next Realty, LLC could choose either path based on the response it gets for the now vacant 80,000 square foot building at 620 N. LaSalle St. The firm has retained CBRE to market the property, until recently a Sports Authority outlet, to corporate office space users and destination retailers.

“The building is a traditional River North building in the brick-and-mortar style,” Marc Blum, president and chief operating officer of Next Realty, tells GlobeSt.com. For decades, these structures have attracted droves of trendy small office users, and that makes him optimistic that this offering will garner a lot of interest.
