Wabash Avenue – for leasing nearly 35000 square feet of space in the 1.2 million-square-foot Mies van der Rohe designed building. The venture also has plans for significant renovations inside and outside of the tower’s premises as well Jack McKinney Jr., Mark Gunderson from Stream Realty Partners manage leasing on behalf of Beacon while Steve Steinmeyer, Bill Rogers and Jeff Liljeberg represent SCB from JLL side.
The Chicago based firm has been involved in several notable projects including Tribune Tower conversion project; repositioning 801 South Canal into Canal Station; 13 story loft style building development at Fulton Market etc..
