Willis Tower Sells for $1.3 Billion
New Yorkers Joseph Chetrit and Joseph Moinian and Skokie-based American Landmark Properties bought the 110-story building in 2004 for $840 million.
Crainâs Chicago predicted the tower would fetch $1.5 billion, but $1.3 billion is still a nice payday for the sellers.
Blackstone Group purchased the Willis Tower this weekend for $1.3 billion, reports the Wall St. Journal.
âWe see great potential in further improving both the buildingâs retail operations and the tourist experience for one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Chicago,â Jacob Werner, a managing director in Blackstoneâs real estate group, said in a Monday statement.
Blackstoneâs purchase price of $1.3 billion is, according to Crainâs Chicago Business, set to become the highest ever paid for a U.S. office building outside Manhattan.
Chicago APPROVES Minimum Wage Increases
By a 44-5 vote, Chicago’s City Council set a minimum-wage target of $13 an hour, to be reached by the middle of 2019. The move comes after Illinois passed a nonbinding advisory last month that calls for the state to raise its minimum pay level to $10 by the start of next year.
The current minimum wage in Chicago and the rest of Illinois is $8.25.
Under the ordinance, the city’s minimum wage will rise to $10 by next July and go up in increments each summer thereafter.
It then will increase by 50 cents in July 2016 and another 50 cents in July 2017. The minimum wage would go up $1 in July 2018 and $1 in July 2019 to reach $13 an hour.
After that, annual increases would be pegged to the local consumer price index, with a limit of 2.5 percent, if the unemployment rate stays below 8.5 percent.
