CHICAGO - Illinois is accepting proposals for the sale of Chicago's iconic James R. Thompson Center.
Gov. JB Pritzker announced on Monday the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sale of the 17-story downtown Chicago building located at 100 West Randolph Street.
"The sale of the Thompson Center has been discussed for nearly 20 years and we are taking another important step to making it a reality," Pritzker said. "Selling the property provides a unique opportunity to maximize taxpayer savings, create thousands of union jobs, generate millions of dollars in real estate taxes to benefit the City of Chicago and spur economic development."
