Urban Innovations has re-acquired two office buildings in the West Loop’s Greektown neighborhood of Chicago totaling 150,000 square feet. Urban Innovations previously owned these properties and sold them in 2005 to a private investor.

UI bought the 60,000 square foot office building located at 833 West Jackson Boulevard along with the 90,000 square foot property at 322 South Green Street as a value-added investment. The buildings sit adjacent to one another, separated by a parking lot that services the properties.
