CBRE has arranged a new headquarters lease for its client, Energize Capital, a Chicago-based investor in climate solutions.
Energize Capital, which invests venture capital and growth equity capital to scale asset-light climate startups, is expanding and will occupy 11,070 square feet at 1 South Wacker Drive, more than doubling its footprint within Chicago’s Loop.
CBRE’s Brad Serot and Bill Sheehy represented Energize Capital in the transaction.
Energize Capital is relocating within their current building, having outgrown the spec suite it has occupied since October of 2021. The new space will accommodate a headcount of greater than 60, enabling the firm to continue its growth trajectory and more than double its current number of full-time employees. The firm will undergo a buildout within the new space. 1 South Wacker Drive is a forty-story building that has undergone a complete lobby renovation and includes such amenities as a voluminous three-story glass atrium lounge, a full-service executive-style health club, and one of the few rooftop decks on Wacker Drive.
