US GOVERNMENT BUILDING FUND PURCHASES 430,000-SQUARE-FOOT FBI FIELD OFFICE

CHICAGO — The United States Government Building Fund has purchased the Federal Bureau of Investigation office Field Office Building located in Chicago. The approximately 430,000-square-foot FBI Field Office was developed in 2004 as a build-to-suit project constructed for the FBI. USAA Real Estate Co. sold the Class A building for an undisclosed amount. Situated on a 10-acre site immediately southwest of Chicago’s central business district, the 10-story building includes a one-story annex facility, underground parking and a three-story parking structure. In late December, the building was awarded the highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The facility was the first in the world to receive a platinum level of certification under the USGBC’s LEED EBOM. Additionally, it is the first LEED EBOM platinum-rated building in Chicago, and one of only 16 platinum-rated projects in the world.
