CHICAGO—Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects, a longtime tenant in the Central Loop, just agreed to a full-floor, 23,615-square-foot lease at Sterling Bay's 1 Prudential Plaza in the East Loop. The move continues the leasing momentum at Prudential Plaza, where owners have poured millions into building upgrades in recent years, including the addition of class A amenities. It also illustrates that these renovated office properties can attract the creative tenants strongly desired by landlords.

“Architects are particular about their space, they won't go to just any building,” Geoffrey Kasselman, executive managing director of NKF, tells GlobeSt.com. His firm advised SNHA on the deal.
