Government watchdog inks big LaSalle Street lease: City agency that investigates misconduct in Chicago government is expanding its downtown office space.

The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General, which investigates misconduct in Chicago government, is expanding its office space and moving to LaSalle Street. The office has signed a lease for nearly 50,000 square feet on the 12th floor of an office building at 231 S. LaSalle St. The move comes after the office increased its headcount and needed more space for its staff. The lease is seen as a positive development for downtown office landlords, who have been struggling with high vacancy rates due to the remote work movement during the pandemic. The move also aligns with the city's efforts to revitalize LaSalle Street. [Extracted from the article]
