Summary
June 9 marked 601W Companies’ default on a $343 million Blackstone loan tied to One South Wacker Drive in Chicago’s financial district, according to a mortgage filing.
The default centers on a 40-story office tower that the New York-based landlord bought in 2018 for about $310 million.
Chicago office values have tumbled since the pandemic, and the missed loan payment underscores the persistent weakness still weighing on landlords across the city’s commercial real estate market.
