AECOM Moving to Prudential Plaza in Chicago’s East Loop
AECOM, an infrastructure consulting firm, has signed a 23,000-square-foot full-floor lease at One Prudential Plaza to consolidate its Chicago offices, bringing together 432 employees into one space.
“Our Chicago team has delivered some of the city’s most vital and iconic infrastructure projects, and this investment solidifies our commitment to the region,” said Matt Crane, regional chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. West business. “Pru Plaza will provide the infrastructure to build on our current momentum and enable us to hire additional talent to build the Chicago office’s legacy as the city continues to evolve.”
In the new office space, it plans to expand its community involvement with a new lecture series for STEAM students looking to get an inside look at working in the AEC space. AECOM has also been involved in several high-profile projects in the region, including the O’Hare 21 initiative, the most significant expansion in the airport’s history.
In January, Wanxiang America Real Estate Group, the owner of Prudential Plaza, negotiated a two-year extension of its $389 million mortgage and committed to $50 million in upgrades for the property.
