8 Major Trends in the first half of 2016 - Chicagoland market update
1. A higher
calling
Suburban tenants are trading
up to Class A product seeking
upgraded amenities and locations
with improved access.
Comeback in
the East Loop
Over 600,000 SF of
positive net absorption
this year, the East Loop
continued its run as
2016’s top
performer. Leasing
momentum around Pru-
dential Plaza,
Aon Center, and
Illinois Center is
the strongest in a de-
cade.
Elephant(s)
in the burbs
An abundance of available
large blocks with a series
scheduled to come to
market throughout 2016
could potentially drive
vacancy up in the Suburbs.
Developments raising
the bar Downtown
+4.4M SF is under construction/
renovation in the CBD,
includes two new office tower
developments – 151 N Franklin
and 625 W Adams both
announced this year.
The Suburban
Healthcare Revolution
Healthcare tenants are driving leasing
activity accounting for 40.8% of Suburban
leases over 10,000 SF in the first quarter
– AIM Specialty Health and Advocate
Healthcare to name a few.
Make way for
Kennedy West
The geographic diversity of the
development pipeline west of the
Kennedy Expressway caused for the
creation of two new submarkets,
Far West Loop and Fulton
Market, along with
redefining the River
West submarket.
Another one bites the burbs
Suburban migrations have accounted for over
700,000 SF of leasing activity YTD. Companies
include: McDonalds, Beam Suntory, and Echo
Global Logistics.
Built-for-me
Increasing in popularity, three BTS projects are
underway in the Suburbs for Zurich Insurance, MC
Machinery Systems, and AAP’s new HQ. Two in the
CBD: C.H. Robinson and McDonald’s.

i.
a higher calling
Many premier suburban office campuses
have gotten some fresh touches,
including new fitness centers, on-site
cafés, restored outdoor spaces and other
amenities, all designed to satisfy tenant
demand. Those trading up have lately
proved a draw to closer freeway access
and proximity to downtown.

another one bites the burbs
Seeking millennial talent and central
locations, several suburban companies
have relocated downtown catering to the
new generation of urbanites reshaping the
workplace. Suburban migration began with
United Airlines in 2008, and has continued
in waves through 2016.
A slew of corporate relocations drove
demand early this year, most notably
- McDonald’s moving their corporate
headquarters to Fulton Market, an area
some observers consider emerging. With
no slowdown in sight, we expect to see
other companies looking carefully at their
location strategies.

Nearing completion,
Zurich Insurance regional
headquarters coincides with
the construction of a number
of build-to-suit projects that
are infusing new life along the
I-90 corridor in the Northwest
submarket.
CHALLENGE
• Zurich was occupying 880,000 square feet of the space in two separate office towers with small, 20,000-square-foot floors. Zurich was seeking a transformation in both its
branding and workplace
• JLL’s greatest challenge on the project was the coordination of all activities such that delivery of the new headquarters matched the expiration of Zurich’s current lease
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION
• The property will be a cutting edge Class A+ office campus with a high LEED Core & Shell Certification.
• The building will offer a façade clad in articulated glass and stainless steel, office park amenities, a well appointed landscaped setting and ample covered garage parking
• Sustainability initiatives include green roofs, native/ adaptive plants with water capture, low-flow fixtures, low VOC paints, FSC certified wood, weather-tight building
envelope, and on-site CHP generator
• JLL is providing advisory services on tax & accounting implications, location selection, developer selection, development capital procurement, sustainability program
development and lease negotiation
RESULTS
• Successfully arranged site selection, developer selection, $350 million of capital procurement and construction management
• Zurich began construction of the new campus in 3Q 2014. Lease commencement and rent commencement are estimated to be September 2016 and December 2016,
respectively

comeback in the east loop
With tenants from the suburbs and the
loop streaming into the East Loop, leasing
momentum around Prudential Plaza, Aon
Center, and the Illinois Center is the strongest
in a decade.
Hitting record lows in vacancy, the submarket
has inspired a resurgence in tenant and
investor demand to the area that’s coming
back. Certainly, there is no more exciting
example than the transformation of Prudential
Plaza.

raising the bar downtown
The West Loop, studded with high-rise office towers
and construction cranes along the riverfront, will soon
have two more towers in this development cycle:
John Buck’s 151 N Franklin Street anchored by CNA
and White Oak JV CA Venture’s spec tower, 625
W Adams scheduled to both deliver by mid-2018.
Adding to the appeal of downtown is nearby The
Old Post Office, an ambitious 2.5-million-square-foot
development project filled with office space, shops
and restaurants, and rooftop public space.
To keep new supply and demand in balance, the
Chicago market will have to maintain near record
absorption levels over the next two years to match
the current construction pipeline.
CHICAGO 2025 11
Development Timeline
Chicago is a city of big plans and big projects. Over the next ten years, the
city will grow upward with new developments. But mostly, Chicago will grow
outward into new submarkets, as companies continue to seek larger floor
plates, access to talent and flexibility in design.

the suburban
healthcare revolution
The Chicago suburbs have long been
home to some of the world’s largest
healthcare and pharmaceutical firms.
The region provides incredible access to
an experienced talent base, a connected
hospital network, and the nation’s top
universities.
In 2016, healthcare-related tenants
have driven leasing activity in many
submarkets, representing 41% of the
leases over 10,000 square feet. As
the industry consolidates, we expect
continued activity, especially in the North
and Northwest submarkets.
