Hilco Global is looking to cash out fast on One North LaSalle. The firm and the building's co-owners, MB Real Estate's Kevin Purcell and Peter Westmeyer, are shopping the 47-story landmark to potential buyers, Crain's Chicago Business reports. They are seeking $125M.

Hilco, Purcell and Westmeyer bought the building in March 2016 for $82.5M.
