**Avison Young Arranges 42,000-Square-Foot Office Lease for NinjaTrader in Chicago**
Avison Young has successfully arranged a full-floor, 41,929-square-foot office lease for NinjaTrader Group, LLC at 222 North LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois.
This marks the third expansion for the fintech company within the city. In 2021, NinjaTrader moved from a 6,471-square-foot space in River North to occupy 19,581 square feet at 222 North LaSalle. The company then expanded by an additional 6,626 square feet in 2023 and will now take over the building’s entire fourth floor.
Avison Young’s Chris O’Leary and Jeff Lindenmeyer, both principals, represented NinjaTrader in the transaction. The landlord, 222 NLS Properties, LLC, was represented by Tishman Speyer.
“Office leasing in Chicago is showing strong signs of resilience, with major tenants finalizing deals in late 2024 and into the early part of this year. Average lease sizes are increasing for the first time since the pandemic, and NinjaTrader’s expansion is a big part of this momentum,” said O’Leary.
The 27-story property at 222 North LaSalle encompasses a total of 1,018,838 square feet and offers high-end amenities, four restaurants, and convenient access to the Riverwalk.
