Julien J. Studley Inc. has completed a 40,750-square-foot office lease for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) at 525 West Monroe in Chicago. The CFTC will relocate from 300 South Riverside in March of this year. The team of Richard Schuham and John J. Goodman, executive vice presidents of Studley, represented the CFTC in the transaction. The landlord of 525 West Monroe, Tishman Speyer Properties, was represented by Vicki Noonan, senior director at Tishman Speyer. The CFTC had two main requirements: to have a private floor for security purposes and to remain close to both of Chicago's futures exchanges. The CFTC chose the Class-A building at 525 West Monroe because it provides a central location and a full-floor layout. The building accommodates the commission's security requirements while maximizing efficiency. Studley represents the CFTC nationally and has recently completed additional assignments in Kansas City and New York.
