Chicago's Burnham Center Sold for $95M

Harbor Group International announced that it had sold The Burnham Center in downtown Chicago for $94.63 million to the Shidler Group. Terms of the deal for the 579,778-square-foot office tower were not disclosed.

"When Harbor Group invests in a property, we have a business plan that... will allow us to sell the property in a four- to six-year period," said T. Richard Litton Jr., the company's president. "Our goal was to improve leasing on the larger floor plate, lower floor portion of the building. We generally succeeded in our business plan on the lower floors and felt that market conditions warranted a sale at this time."

The 22-story historic building at 111 West Washington Street was originally built in 1914 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham. Major tenants include Flashpoint, Cook County and GrubHub. Harbor Group originally purchased the property in March 2007 for $79.5 million.
