"Since mid-2001, we have signed seven leases totaling more than 100,000 sf at 30 W. Monroe, and this year the building is generating more activity and interest than it did last year," says NAI Hiffman vice president Ted M. Holman.

St. Louis-based HOK, the world's second largest architecture firm, was represented by The Staubach Co. principal Jack Keenan and managing principal Robert L. Schmidt. In addition to a leasing commission, Keenan also received a new Vespa from the building owner, St. Paul, MN-based St. Paul Properties, Inc., which is offering the incentive through June 30 to brokers whose clients sign leases for the equivalent of a floor of space or more.

"Both the Vespa and 30 W. Monroe represent timeless style," Holman says. The building was the first Downtown office building to house a work of public art as the focal point of its lobby, notes HOK group vice president Roger McFarland, AIA.
