Accounting Firm RSM Moves Headquarters Office to Chicago’s CME Center
The CME Center provides RSM with space for continued growth, state-of-the-art technology and a collaborative environment, says managing partner John Bird.
CHICAGO, IL—RSM US, a provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, is moving is US headquarters to the 30 South Wacker tower of the CME Center in late 2020/early 2021. RSM is taking a minimum of 150,000 square feet, up to a maximum of 180,000 square feet, in the building. The firm declined to disclose the dollar value of the lease.
The CME Center was designed by Chicago architectural firm Fujikawa Johnson & Associates and is a three-building structure consisting of two twin, 40-story towers connected by a 10-story center structure. Formerly home to the largest open outcry futures exchange, the CME Center has been transformed into a world-class corporate address, according to the facility’s website. The 2.3 million square foot LEED® Gold building offers efficient floor plans, exceptional service and unrivaled convenience.
“While we have enjoyed our current location in Chicago, we’ve realized the need for a more efficient and productive environment that accommodates the way our people work today.” says John Bird, office managing partner of the Chicago office with RSM US. “As our middle market clients have continued to grow, so has RSM—in Chicago and at our other 85 offices nationwide. The CME Center will provide us with the needed space for continued growth, state-of-the-art technology and a collaborative environment for working with our clients and with one another. We’re looking forward to maintaining and growing our presence in Chicago.”
RSM will join BP, CME Group and Wells Fargo as tenants in the CME Center.
