On April 13, 2026, Concord Capital completed an acquisition of the Pontiac Building in Chicago's Loop. The deal is one of the cleanest available 2026 examples of opportunistic acquisition pricing in a major downtown's most distressed office submarket. The acquisition price reflects the broader Chicago Loop office repricing that the Wall Street Journal documented in early April.

For property owners with comparable Chicago Loop or other major downtown office holdings, the Pontiac transaction is a useful pricing reference for appeal evidence and for hold-versus-sell analysis.
