The previous tenant made the space attractive to the newly formed law firm specializing in insurance and commercial law. "By securing a furnished sublease alternative with an existing law firm layout, the typical up-front expenses that can be strenuous to a new firm were significantly reduced," says CB Richard Ellis' Connor Kerr, who represented Walker Wilcox & Matousek along with Cal Wessman. Joe Learner of Studley represented Jenkens & Gilchrist.

Meanwhile, another law firm has opted to remain in the Central Loop. Albert Whitehead, PC renewed its 7,378-sf lease at 10 N. Dearborn St., where it has been located since 2000. HSA Commercial Real Estate senior vice president Wayne Shulman represented BGK Equities, Inc., owner of the 80,228-sf building.
