Key Points
Business law firm Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff signed a lease adding about 33,000 square feet at 71 South Wacker Drive, giving it roughly 130,000 square feet in the building.
The Irvine Company-owned tower was already 94 percent leased before the deal. The Benesch expansion follows Mayer Brown’s 272,000-square-foot lease extension at the property.
Benesch, which entered Chicago in 2015, is expanding to accommodate rising attorney and staff headcount, now at 145 attorneys.
