CHICAGO, April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Proving that Chicago remains one of the top office investment markets in the country, JLL Capital Markets today announced the $305 million sale of 175 West Jackson, a 1.43 million-square-foot, Class A tower in the city's Central Loop submarket. JLL represented the seller, an ultra-high net worth European family advised by Extell Development, in the sale to a Brookfield-sponsored private real estate fund.

International Director Bruce Miller and Managing Director Nooshin Felsenthal led the JLL team handling the sale.

"The timing of the opportunity was excellent as 175 West Jackson is positioned to benefit from the billions of dollars of investment in surrounding projects," said Felsenthal.

Burnham, 175 West Jackson provides tenants easy access to public transit and is one block from the Brown, Red, Blue, Pink and Purple El lines.
