Transwestern tapped to lease Chicago’s Rookery Building

S. Boehme & Co. has retained Transwestern for leasing services for the Rookery Building, a historic 288,924-square-foot landmark at 209 S. LaSalle St. in the central Loop neighborhood of Chicago.

Transwestern’s Eric Myers, Jeff Dowdell and Courtney Rosoff will serve as leasing agents for the property.

“We are excited to work on such a renowned asset in the center of Chicago’s Financial District,” said Myers in a statement. “The new spec suites and design standards that have been implemented are reflective of modern tenant needs. Every office in the building has access to natural light, high ceilings and recently upgraded amenities, which is ideal for tenants that want contemporary space in a building with celebrated history and immense character.”

The Rookery building is considered Chicago’s oldest high-rise. The 12-story, Class A building was completed by John Wellborn Root and Daniel Burnham of the Burnham and Root in 1888 and had its light court and lobbies redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and subsequently designated a Chicago Landmark and National History Landmark, one of more than 2,500 structures to receive the distinction.

Amenities include on-site management, a bike and runner’s room, building conference room and the Burnham Library. Last year, new elevators were installed, and additional conference space and food amenities will be introduced in 2018. Brooks Brothers, U.S. Bank, Verizon Wireless, Potbelly Sandwich Works, Dean Optical and Shop Wright occupy the retail space at the property.
