Praedium, Golub sell Chicago office tower

The Praedium Group LLC, a New York City-based national real estate investment firm, and Golub & Co., a Chicago-based real estate firm, jointly sold 33 North LaSalle, a 395,191-square-foot office building in Chicago.

After the building’s purchase in July 1998, a major capital improvement program was undertaken, including the restoration, expansion and reconfiguration of the lobby and retail components and refurbishment of elevator cabs.
