Real estate firm John Buck Company announced that it will develop CNA’s new global headquarters in Chicago. 

With LEED Gold-level design specifications, each of the 820,000-sf building’s 35 floors will feature 9-foot, 6-inch finished ceilings, columnless corner offices, and column-free spaces. 

The building will include two restaurants, a fitness center, 250-seat conference facility, three outdoor venues including a rooftop terrace for tenants, bike parking with access to shower facilities, and a sundry store.

More than 30 indoor executive parking stalls will be connected to a 500-stall parking garage. The building will have high-tech HVAC controls, cellular connectivity, and electrical distribution. 

Construction will be completed in the summer of 2018. The design architect for CNA Center is John Ronan Associates, with Adamson Associates as the executive architect.
