Holly Duran Real Estate Partners Represents Cboe Global Markets in Headquarters Relocation to Old Post Office, New Trading Floor, Sale of Building
CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Holly Duran Real Estate Partners LLC (HDREP) announced today that the firm has represented Cboe Global Markets, Inc., one of the world's largest exchange holding companies, in the leasing of approximately 185,000 square feet for the exchange's new global headquarters at Chicago's Old Post Office at 433 W. Van Buren St. Cboe announced the major transaction today.
HDREP simultaneously represented Cboe in the newly signed approximately 40,000 square-foot lease at 141 W. Jackson, known as the historic Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Building. Cboe will build its new trading floor on the seventh and eighth floors to support S&P 500 Index (SPX) options and the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) options markets.
Both transactions are long-term leases with built-in flexibility and have robust infrastructure associated with the sites. HDREP managing broker Holly Duran, along with partner Jeff Mulder, represented Cboe in the transactions. In addition, Cboe has retained HDREP for the sale of its current 300,000 square-foot headquarters building at 400 S. LaSalle St., in partnership with Bruce Miller, International Director of JLL Capital Markets.
Brian Schell, Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer of Cboe Global Markets, said: "Cboe is grateful for HDREP's partnership in helping us find new headquarters and trading floor locations with state-of-the-art infrastructure and amenities beyond what we've been able to offer in the past. The experienced team worked diligently to ensure our real estate strategy aligns closely with our plans for the future."

It's gratifying that under a tight deadline, we were able to execute this project and deliver results that exceeded our client's expectations.
