CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2024 - JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $32 million refinancing for 609 West Randolph, a 15-story boutique office property totaling 95,000 square feet in Chicago, Illinois.

Working on behalf of the borrower, Vista Property, JLL placed the five-year, 7.23% fixed-rate loan with JP Morgan Chase & Co.

Completed in 2022, 609 West Randolph was designed with the next-generation workplace in mind. The building features touchless technology, cutting edge building systems and flexible floor plates ranging from 5,500 to 7,100 square feet. Building amenities include a penthouse lounge and conference room, green rooftop space and amenity terrace, offices with private outdoor terraces and a lobby design inspired by boutique hotels. 609 West Randolph is 93.5% leased to a diverse mix of 10 tenants, including Fetch Rewards, Buford Capital and NTT Data.

The property is positioned at the nexus of Chicago's West Loop and Fulton Market neighborhoods offering immediate access to a variety of dining, nightlife, residential, shopping and hospitality options. West Loop has also become the preferred location for corporate tenants moving into the Chicago CBD and is home to numerous Fortune 500 companies and boutique startups across varying industries. 609 West Randolph offers tenants excellent transit access being located within walking distance of the Morgan/Lake station, the CTB bus line and a short drive to the Interstate 90/94 Expressway.

JLL's Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Christopher Knight, Associate Matt Maksymec and analyst Katia Novi.

"With its thoughtful, hospitality driven-design and superb location, Vista was fortunate to have leased up 609 W Randolph's 15 floors of new construction to an impressive and diverse roster of high-quality full floor users," said Hymie Mishan, Principal, Vista Property.
