MetroWest is currently 67.6 percent leased and is anchored by Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, which occupies 11 percent of the building under a long-term lease through 2034. Designed by architect Helmut Jahn, the building features amenities such as a fitness center, cafeteria and structured parking. RCS plans to implement a targeted leasing and repositioning strategy. Approximately 40 percent of the vacant space already includes modernized or move-in-ready suites.
