Law Firm Renews for 100K-SF at Chicago West Loop Building

Law firm Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP signed a lease totaling 99,756 square feet at 200 W. Madison in Chicago’s West Loop. The deal keeps the 928,040-square-foot office tower’s largest tenant in place through 2032.

CBRE’s Kyle Kamin, Cal Wessman and Mark Cassata represented the tenant. The lease was brokered on behalf of Bentall Kennedy’s U.S. core fund by Transwestern’s Jeff Dowdell, Katie Steele and Courtney Rosoff, along with former Transwestern broker, Michael Lirtzman, who’s now with Sterling Bay.

“Chicago’s downtown office market remains extremely competitive, and this tenant was exploring options including relocation,” said Dowdell. Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg moved into the space at the 45-story tower 10 years ago, replacing Hyatt Hotels Corporation as the anchor tenant.
