JPMorgan Chase Unveils Renovation Plans for Chase Tower
JPMorgan Chase has unveiled major renovation plans for Chase Tower, its local headquarters building at 10 S. Dearborn Street. The 850-foot, 60-story skyscraper will undergo a transformation, and the Loop’s tallest building will become a modern, workplace with flexible, collaborative spaces and an array of amenities.
Gensler is the lead architect on the project and the planned renovations include a refreshed and interconnected, plaza, lobby and mezzanine, refurbished work floors with state-of-the-art technology, a new fitness center, and an improved outdoor plaza area. Sustainable design improvement will include water-efficient plumbing fixtures and construction materials with low-embodied carbon and carbon-neutral carpet and flooring.
The project is expected to create more than 970 local construction jobs, with an additional impact of economic activity near $264 million for Cook County and $377 million for Illinois overall. The firm has more than 14,500 Chicagoland employees, including 7,200 at Chase Tower, and more than 15,600 employees in Illinois.
