Colliers to Handle Office Leasing Assignments at PGIM Real Estate’s 55 East Monroe

Colliers has been awarded the exclusive office leasing and management assignment for PGIM Real Estate’s 55 East Monroe in downtown Chicago. Head of downtown agency leasing Michael Lirtzman and VP Marina Zelenkova now oversee leasing efforts, while Colliers Chicago’s COO Phil Stafford, account manager Joell Juracka and managing director Susan Lehman will handle the property management transition at the 1.25-million-square-office tower.  

PGIM Real Estate plans to upgrade 55 East Monroe’s common areas in the coming months. “Despite current challenges for the office sector, our long-term conviction around adaptive office with attractive amenities and location remains strong,” said Cathy Marcus, global COO and head of U.S. equity for PGIM Real Estate.  

She added, “The common area upgrades, combined with Colliers’ creative service offerings that align with our goals for 55, will solidify its position as a high-quality asset that will remain competitive well into the future.”
