Chicago-based law firm Greenberg Traurig has signed an agreement to move its headquarters from 77 W. Wacker Drive to a new development under construction in the Fulton Market neighborhood. The move continues the exodus of tenants from downtown Chicago as companies seek out new office buildings that provide better amenities and are more likely to entice employees back to the workplace.
The global firm will occupy 90,000 square feet in 360 N. Green St., a 24-story tower that developer Sterling Bay plans to finish next year. The surrounding neighborhood west of the Loop, transformed in the past decade from an industrial district into a sleek office center packed with restaurants, retail and boutique hotels, was part of its appeal, said Rita Powers, comanaging shareholder of the firm’s Chicago office.

“There’s no question the Fulton Market is tremendously vibrant,” she said. “That’s a winning formula for us.”
