“Since entering the market nearly 20 years ago, our Chicago office has experienced a tremendous amount of momentum and success,” says Rick Sevcik, managing partner of the Chicago office. “Our move to 110 North Wacker embodies our continued commitment and investment in the region as we position ourselves to meet the demands of our growing and modern workforce in Chicago with a new first-class, state-of-the-art office.”

The building when completed in the fourth quarter of 2020 will be Chicago's tallest commercial building built in three decades. Todd Lippman, Kyle Kamin and Steve Bay of CBRE represented Perkins Coie on the deal, while Drew Nieman of Riverside Investment and Development and Sara Spicklemire of CBRE represented the developers of the building.

“The sustained level of tenant interest and speed of leasing at 110 North Wacker is about as good as it gets,” says Riverside's Nieman. “We are seeing tenants expedite their search specifically to come after 110 North Wacker.”

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Perkins Coie as the newest tenant to join our premier office building in Chicago,” says Paul Layne, president of the Central Region for The Howard Hughes Corporation. “Named for 17 years among Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For, Perkins Coie will have a highly appealing, amenity-rich setting at a prominent riverfront location on Wacker Drive for its new Chicago office.”

Bank of America signed on as the anchor tenant of the building committing to approximately 530,000 square feet of office space in 2017.
