180 North LaSalle is a 38-story Class A office building located in the highly regarded Central Business District of downtown Chicago. The property was designed by visionary modernist Harry Weese and built in 1971. 180 North LaSalle was named Chicago’s best new building in 1972 by the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1999, 180 North LaSalle underwent a renovation designed and implemented by world renowned architects Ricardo Bofil of Taller de Arquitecura in collaboration with the Chicago based architectural firm DeStafano & Partners. The project’s architects and design team incorporated “modern classicism” into the property’s renovation utilizing classical architectural elements to include pediments, Doric style pilasters and entablatures.
The Work
Ivanhoe Cambridge retained Accurate Space, Inc. to update the building to the new ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2017 Standard. While reviewing the existing CAD files and original construction documents we quickly identified a number of discrepancies.. Accurate Space, Inc. created a complete set of new as-built drawings and delivered a detailed BOMA analysis.
The Results
Rentable Area Net Gain: 16,373 SF
