The Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission leased 25,000 square feet in the Sears Tower at 233 S. Wacker Drive in Chicago. The transaction marks the first major tenant to move into the Sears Tower since the 9/11 tragedy, which put a stigma on the tallest building in the United States. After an extensive search of both sublease and direct relocation options primarily in the West Loop, the commission determined that the Tower’s location, amenities and most importantly, the aggressive economics provided the best long-term situation for the organization’s new home.
