Chicago office market in freefall amid national downturnAcross the country, downtown office buildings are trading at steep discountsOffice towers that once sold for hundreds of millions of dollars are now changing hands at discounts of 70%, 80%, even 90% across major U.S. cities, as higher interest rates and remote work reshape demand for downtown space.Few places illustrate the shift more starkly than Chicago. There, the markdowns span every era of development, according to figures first tweeted out by Nightingale Associates.A century-old office building in the city’s historic Printing House Row district, 401 S. State St., recently sold for just $4.2 million, down from $68.1 million in 2016, a 94% drop.The prominent Loop tower at 311 S. Wacker Drive traded at an 85% discount, selling for $45 million compared with $302 million in 2014.People look out toward the skyline from a frozen North Avenue Beach on Jan. 24, 2026, in Chicago.

Riverside Plaza, not the tower itself, sold for $22 million, down from $165 million in 2005, an 87% decline.And at 300 W. Adams St., a leasehold interest in the building changed hands for just $4 million, compared with $51 million in 2012 — a 92% discount.Taken together, the deals illustrate how sharply the economics of downtown office real estate have shifted in just a few years, as higher interest rates and remote work reshape demand.Retail space for lease in downtown Chicago on May 27, 2025.

In many major cities, office towers are a cornerstone of the tax base, helping fund schools, public safety and transit — meaning falling property values can ripple through local budgets.And Chicago is not alone. Across the country, downtown office buildings are trading at steep discounts. Last year, an 18-story Dallas office tower sold for $26.1 million, a 64% discount from its $73 million sale price in 2016. In St. Louis, a 44-story tower sold in 2022 for $4.5 million, a fraction of the nearly $205 million it fetched in 2006. More recently, an office building in downtown San Jose, California, sold for $23.7 million, well below its $80.1 million sale price in 2017. In Newton, Massachusetts, a three-building office complex changed hands last year for $117.5 million, roughly half of its $235 million price back in 2020.Soldier Field prior to the divisional playoff football game between the Los Angeles Rams and Bears on Jan. 18, 2026, in Chicago.

The team is exploring a possible relocation to Indiana, where a new stadium could be constructed near Wolf Lake in Hammond, just across the state border.As property values fall, city leaders face difficult choices: cut services, raise taxes elsewhere, or absorb widening budget gaps.
Cita de: asustadísimos en Hoy a las 13:03:19¿Ustedes qué inflación creen que hay de verdad?]La rara.El problema de la vivienda es cada vez más residual; a medida que los T van dejando la mesa y se reparten cartas a los nuevos, nos encontramos con que los que se sientan saben que no pueden entrar a la apuesta. Como en el póquer, están sentados, pero pasan.Su salario no les permite jugar, y han asumido vivir con los padres hasta mas allá de los 30. Cuando se cierre el círculo de la vida, sobrarán viviendas. La inmigración no puede sostener estos niveles. No puede. Es imposible. Nadie va a pagar un SMI a un inmigrante semianalfabeto. No lo vamos a hacer, da igual lo que diga Yo-Yolanda.NO LO VAMOS A HACER.Muchos que hereden dos o tres no van a poder mantener el patrimonio inmobiliario.Entiendo que ahí entrará Casa47 (año 2047 ¿? )La partida está próxima al final.Creo que China seguirá exportando deflación sin límite, y que los EEUU ya no tienen nada que hacer contra esto, por mas que intenten el cierre de Ormuz a la desesperada para mantener altos los absurdos niveles del dólar-bolsa.El ajuste está siendo administrado, pero eso no quita que el papel del Estado haya sido lamentable estos últimos 30 años. Pocas instituciones democráticas quedan limpias. Todo es un cenagal, empezando por los partidos políticos, los ex-sindicatos obreros (¿aún existen?) hasta la policía nacional. El daño está siendo enorme.
