The Studley team of Lisa Davidson and Tiffany Winne, based in the firm's Chicago office, recently completed two lease transactions totaling 50,000 square feet in the Chicago CBD. They are:

• A 25,000-square-foot lease renewal at 333 West Wacker Drive on behalf of Sanchez, Daniels & Hoffman. One of the nation's largest certified minority-owned law firms, Sanchez, Daniels & Hoffman was able to successfully take advantage of soft market conditions thus creating significant savings and, in turn, workplace efficiencies. They currently occupy the 5th floor.
• 333 West Wacker was represented by Hines GM Patrick Philbin.
• A 25,000-square-foot relocation on behalf of The Chicago Community Trust. The non-profit organization will move from a Class B building at 111 East Wacker Drive to 225 North Michigan Avenue when the lease commences first quarter 2012.

Citing a desire for an open work environment, The Chicago Community Trust was able to achieve its goals while creating efficiencies that allow a greater number of employees in the same amount of space.

225 North Michigan Avenue was represented by MB Real Estate's Mark Buth and Kathleen Bertrand.
