Blue Cross Blue Shield Assn. Downsizes into Aon Center Space
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association is moving its East Loop headquarters down the street and joining the growing group of businesses shrinking their downtown office space, Crain’s Chicago Business reported. The national association for 34 Blue Cross & Blue Shield companies is relocating from 225 N. Michigan Ave., where it leases more than 200,000 square feet, into about 95,000 square feet in 601W Companies’ Aon Center, at 200 E. Randolph St.
“We are excited about a new space that represents our long-term investment in our employees’ workplace experience, with a particular focus on ‘we space’ versus ‘me space,’ ” Jennifer Vachon, EVP of business operations for the association, said in a statement. “Our move to the Aon Center will provide employees with a flexible environment that meets our evolving needs.”
Telos Group’s Jamey Dix and Jeff Dowdell represented 601W in the lease. Lisa Konieczka at CBRE represented the tenant.
