COVER:
The 24-story vertical addition to the original 33-story 300 East Randolph Street building in Chicago earned Platinum honors in our 2011 Building Team Awards. The planned vertical completion added 920,000 square feet to the structure and saved $15 million for the client without disruption to the current tenants.
