CHICAGO — The Chicago office of law firm Kirkland & Ellis has relocated to 300 North LaSalle, a newly constructed, 60-story office tower located in downtown Chicago. The law firm will occupy 26 floors of the tower, taking up approximately 650,000 of the building’s 1.26 million rentable square feet. The new office features a conference center, expanded wireless Internet service, video conferencing capability, and environmentally friendly lighting and energy systems. Kirkland relocated from 700,000 square feet within Aon Center, an office tower located at 200 East Randolph that it had occupied since 1972. Clune Construction served as general contractor for the build-out, with The Staubach Group serving as the law firm’s leasing agent. Hines Real Estate Interests is the developer of 300 North LaSalle and SOM is the architect.
