“300 North LaSalle, with its prestigious riverfront location and presence on the Chicago skyline, is the ideal home for companies wanting to provide an engaging workday experience for their employees," Irvine Co. Commercial Properties Group President Jonathan Brinsden said in a release. "This major reinvestment will further elevate and transform the building for the future of work."
Private equity firm GTCR and Chicago Cut Steakhouse have signed long-term lease extensions and expansions at the 60-story riverfront building in light of the plans.
“Irvine Company’s plans to transform 300 North LaSalle will keep it at the top of the list of coveted workplace destinations for forward-thinking companies looking to recruit and retain top talent and energize their workforce,” Savills Chicago Region President Robert Sevim said in the release. “Irvine Company provides its existing and future customers a compelling argument for the benefits of returning to the office.”
