110 N. Wacker Now Head and Shoulders Above the Competition

Sweeping views of the river and downtown is just one of 110 N. Wacker’s selling points. The future tower by Riverside Investment and Howard Hughes Corp. is already about 40% pre-leased, and experts say it has a good chance to open fully leased.

CHICAGO—Lincoln International has just signed a lease to become the newest tenant of the trophy-class office tower rising on the riverfront at 110 North Wacker Dr., a project by The Howard Hughes Corp. and Riverside Investment and Development. A spokesperson for the developers tells GlobeSt.com that the new deal means the highly-anticipated, 53-story building is already 40% leased, even though it won’t open until 2020.

“Lincoln wanted to get space that was not just new and equal to what they have at 500 W. Madison, but something that was head and shoulders above any other option,” Lisa Davidson of Savills Studley tells GlobeSt.com. She represented the leading global investment bank on the deal. “And when this building came on the market they were very impressed with the location and the unique views of the river. When it’s finished this will arguably be the top property in the city.”
