Yet another foreign investor sweet on Chicago office, German firm GLL Real Estate Partners, will pick up the 94% leased 18-story West Loop tower at 550 W Adams (USG HQ), for $185M (German seller SEB Asset Management paid $178M for the property in ’06, the year it was built), Crain’s Chicago Business reports.
Foreign capital continues to see US real estate as a safe haven, specifically core assets and markets (though FIRPTA doesn’t help with its withholding taxes), Pearlmark Real Estate Partners’ Doug Lyons told us earlier this year.
