CBRE Awarded Leasing Assignment at Debt-Free 77 W Wacker

CBRE has been awarded the exclusive leasing assignment at 77 West Wacker Drive, a 50-story 959,258 square foot cosmopolitan Trophy office tower situated along the Chicago River. CBRE’s Michael Kazmierczak, Kelsey Scheive, and Aaron Schuster will market the building on behalf of ownership.

“We are excited to implement much anticipated change at 77 West Wacker with a new leasing strategy that meets the market and a redevelopment of the amenity offering,” said Kelsey Scheive. “The property’s mortgage was paid off last year, putting ownership in a strong financial position to invest meaningful capital back into the building and meet current market demand drivers to attract new tenants. Notably, 77 West Wacker offers the largest contiguous block over 100,000 square feet on Wacker Drive, making it one of a select few large block Trophy opportunities available today.”

Ownership has committed to enhancing the existing amenity offering with the addition of a new full floor of amenities within 77 West Wacker comprising of a social bar and lounge overlooking the Chicago River, 150+ person multi-purpose event and meeting space, and wellness center.

Built in 1992 and designed by DeStefano + Partners with world-famous architect Ricardo Bofill as an artistic consultant, the iconic property boasts stunning 360-degree views and a prominent headquarters environment.

Existing amenities include a fitness complex with full basketball court, The Good Eating Company, a restaurant and market café offering coffee, breakfast and lunch with al fresco dining, an elevated conference center with a large training room featuring 30' ceilings and smaller meeting spaces, as well as executive private parking with EV charging.
