Designed by Perkins and Will, 101 North Wacker was completed in 1980, and underwent a renovation in 1990. The building features excellent amenities and is in a superior location on the northeast corner of Wacker Drive and Washington Street, steps away from Chicago's commuter train stations (Ogilvie & Union stations). 101 North Wacker is 83% leased to a diversified mix of tenants including: TTX Company, Hartmarx Corporation, YMCA and The Segal Company. Hines will manage and lease the property.

"The purchase of 101 North Wacker gives us the opportunity to improve upon a superbly located office building in the popular West Loop submarket through renovation and enhancing the building's leasing profile," said Dave Congdon, senior vice president and HVAF II fund manager. "We are looking forward to reintroducing the property to the market with our plans for its renovation and transformation," said Tom Danilek, senior vice president with Hines in Chicago. "We are excited about this opportunity."
