Engineering Consultant Expands in Move to CBOT Building

Engineering design firm Talman Consultants is moving to GlenStar Properties’ Chicago Board of Trade Building, and expanding its footprint to 16,917 square feet. Bespoke Commercial Real Estate brokered the lease.

Led by Katherine Latham and James Norton, Talman has tripled in size since its 2016 founding. The firm partners with many of the industry’s leading utility providers, including Crown Castle, Verizon, Comcast and NPL Construction.

“Our Talman team is constantly looking to innovate and improve the services we provide to our clients,” said Latham. “Our new offices will allow us to leverage technology and collaborate in new ways. It also provides a terrific foundation, as we continue to scale our operations to handle additional work and expand into new markets.”

Added Norton, “The move provides Talman an important opportunity to customize our space and technology to support our multi-disciplinary teams, proprietary design and project management tools.”
