The insurance holding company will relocate its headquarters from 1 E. Wacker Drive to a 65,000-square-foot office encompassing the 32nd and 33rd floors of Aon Center.<\/p>\n<p>Cushman &amp; Wakefield represented the tenant, whose move marks the first significant agreement closed at the building since the landlord began a $25 million renovation. 601W bought the asset in 2015.<\/p>\n<h2>Highly amenitized office tower<\/h2>\n<p>The iconic 83-story property, the third <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/the-us-the-original-skyscraper-kingdom\/\">tallest skyscraper in Chicago<\/a>, was completed in 1972 at 200 E. Randolph St. in The Loop. It offers its tenants an array of top-of-the-line amenities including the new Cloud Level\u2014a space located at the 70th floor that consists of a full-service fitness center, conference room and entertainment space overlooking Millennium Park and Lake Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We took cues from the hospitality industry in making Aon Center a flexible, service-oriented environment for tenants. It\u2019s closer to a luxury hotel than it is to a stuffy office. That\u2019s what distinguishes this property from others,<\/em>\u201d said Caroline Colnon, leasing director at The Telos Group.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Colnon, Telos\u2019 brokerage team also included Principal Matt Pistorio and Executive Vice President Steve Smith. Cushman &amp; Wakefield had Vice Chairman Scott Goldman, Executive Managing Director Chris Wood, Managing Director Dan Fisk and Senior Director Adam McCostlin involved in the deal.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of The Telos Group<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Telos Group represented the landlord in closing a lease with Kemper Corp. for two floors.
