CHICAGO — Reed Construction has completed the renovation of both towers that comprise The Franklin, an office complex in the West Loop neighborhood of downtown Chicago. The 60-story skyscraper is owned and managed by Tishman Speyer and consists of two separate towers: one at 222 W. Adams St. and the other at 227 W. Monroe St. The renovation work occurred on the fourth, 21st and 24th floors at 222 W. Adams, as well as the fifth floor at 227 W. Madison. A total of nine speculative suites, 10 breakrooms and four public corridors with men’s and women’s restrooms were renovated. A complete washroom was also relocated to the 21st floor of 222 W. Adams. Construction on each floor was completed simultaneously with staggered phasing to minimize disruptions for existing tenants. Jon Zawiski led the team for Reed Construction as the project manager, Jason Gunderson was the project executive, and Jay Crane was the superintendent. Harley Ellis Devereaux provided architectural services.
