| Schafer Condon Carter announces purchase of building in Chicago Schafer|Condon|Carter (SCC), Chicago's top mid-sized independent marketing agency, announced its purchase of the C.C.P. Holden building at 1027 W. Madison Street in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood. The agency plans to move its operations to the 34,500-square-foot building in the fall of 2011 after an extensive renovation. C.C.P. Holden, a well-known Chicago political figure, railroad magnate and real estate developer, was very involved in the massive reconstruction efforts after the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 and built the Italianate limestone, sandstone, terra cotta, brick and timber structure in 1872. It is one of only a handful of such architectural gems in Chicago. SCC will be working with Chicago-based Widler Architecture on the restoration. When finished it will be a model of conservation and sustainability. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
