The WK Law firm represented HNA Group in $300 Million Acquisition and Financing of 181 West Madison, Chicago in 2017 which is the second-largest downtown office sale of 2017. Mr. Allen Wu, the executive Partner, attended the closing ceremony on behalf of WK Law firm.
181 West Madison is a 50-story trophy property located in the heart of the Chicago Loop. It is architect Cesar Pelli’s first and only completed tower in the city. Strategically situated at the confluence of the West Loop and Central Loop, the iconic tower draws both submarkets’ archetypal tenants to an irreplaceable location that affords their employee immediate and effortless access to both suburban and local commuter train lines, Chicago’s banking and financial district, local and federal government campuses, and deep local amenities. Tenants in the building include Cornerstone Research, Marmon Group and Northern Trust.
