Boosting confidence in Chicago’s downtown office market, Taylor Johnson client CRG and its equity partners have scored new leases at the Jewelers Building, their recently acquired 40-story landmark at 35 E. Wacker Drive along the Chicago River. Private equity firm Sheridan Capital Partners will relocate its headquarters to a 25,445-square-foot space, while several existing tenants have extended or expanded their leases, raising building occupancy to nearly 70%. The century-old tower offers a compelling blend of historic character and modern amenities, and new tenants benefit from having TJ client Lamar Johnson Collaborative and its parent company, Clayco, on-site to support the design and build-out of customized workspaces. The news was first shared exclusively with Crain’s Chicago Business and has since been featured in CoStar, The Real Deal Chicago, REBusinessOnline, Chicago Business Journal, Connect CRE Chicago & Midwest and CRE MarketBeat.
