Gov. J.B. Pritzker officially put the James R. Thompson Center on the market on Monday, announcing a request for proposals for the sale of the downtown state government building that state officials concede could need more than $500 million in repairs.
“The sale of the Thompson Center has been discussed for nearly 20 years and we are taking another important step to making it a reality,” Pritzker said in a statement.
“Selling the property provides a unique opportunity to maximize taxpayer savings, create thousands of union jobs, generate millions of dollars in real estate taxes to benefit the City of Chicago and spur economic development. My team looks forward to working with the city as we move forward.”
