Friedman Properties, a Chicago-based real estate investment and development firm, announced the completion of an 80,000-square-foot lease renewal and expansion with Bartlit Beck LLP at Court House Place, located at 54 W. Hubbard St. in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.
The transaction increased the law firm’s footprint by more than 20%. Bartlit Beck is a national law firm, headquartered at Court House Place since 1993. Renovations will begin soon on the additional 15,000 square feet.
Designed by architect Otto H. Matz and constructed in 1893, the Romanesque-style Court House Place is notable for its arched entry, corner tourelles, arcade windows and rusticated stone façade. After acquiring the seven-story, 107,000-square-foot property in 1985, Friedman Properties executed a full redevelopment, transforming it into a modern office building while preserving the historic architectural elements. Court House Place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a Chicago landmark.
