(CHICAGO) – Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that Sidley Austin LLP, one of the nation’s largest law firms, has renewed its lease at One South Dearborn. Sidley initially moved into the newly built building in 2005. The 810,000-square-foot building was developed by Hines specifically for Sidley with custom features including a private café, conference center and fitness center.
“We have renewed our lease at One South Dearborn after conducting a thorough evaluation of our space needs,” said Larry Barden, Sidley Austin LLP Management Committee Chair. “Staying in this prime Chicago loop location makes sense for us from a business connectivity standpoint. With a few design renovations to leverage unused space for collaborative areas and maximize the amount of natural light, our modern, efficient workspace will allow us to continue to attract and retain talented professionals.”
Sidley was represented in the long-term renewal by Todd Lippman and James Whalen with CBRE. Greg Van Schaack with Hines represented building owner Olen Properties.
With 1,900 lawyers in 20 offices worldwide, Sidley has built a reputation as a premier legal adviser for global businesses and financial institutions. Its lawyers work to deliver compelling results for clients in all types of legal matters.
