SCHENK ANNES TEPPER CAMPBELL RELOCATES AND RENEWS AT 311 S WACKER DR

Chicago, IL – November 16, 2012 – Chicago-based law firm Schenk Annes Tepper Campbell Ltd. recently renewed their lease and will be moving to new space of approximately 9,000 rsf of space at 311 S. Wacker Dr.

Schenk Annes Tepper Campbell Ltd. (SATC) has been a tenant at 311 S. Wacker Dr. since 1997.  As the firm grew and took additional adjacent space, however, its office configuration became awkward and inefficient.  “In a market like the current one, a tenant like SATC is pure gold: they’ve been a reliable tenant for 15 years and are actually growing when other firms are shrinking,” said Rhea Campbell of Bella Terra Partners, who represented SATC in its lease negotiations.  “This is why I was not surprised that several other West Loop buildings negotiated hard for their tenancy.”  Only when the firm committed to an exhaustive full-market search and decided they were fully prepared to leave the building did 311 S. Wacker offer a compelling deal structure, making a renewal not the path of least resistance, but rather a perfect fit. “SATC was able to grow by the amount needed to accommodate its new partners and associates as well as to create efficiencies that …

BOUTIQUE TENANT REP FIRM MAKES A START IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

Chicago, IL – Bella Terra Partners LLC., www.bellaterrapartners.com, a boutique tenant representation commercial real estate firm, opened for business in downtown Chicago in October 2008. Founded by Rhea Campbell, a former tenant representation broker at CB Richard Ellis’ downtown office, Bella Terra represents a response to several large mergers that occurred in the industry (Trammell Crow with CBRE and JLL with Staubach) between 2007 and 2008. In an environment in which real estate firms that target small to medium-sized users have become almost non-existent, Campbell aims to provide these businesses the same focused attention, strategic approach, and responsiveness that the UBS and Citibanks of the world receive from the large real estate firms.

Bella Terra Partners was created to provide aggressive results for 3,000 to 20,000 square foot office users. “I felt there was a significant need to create a customized approach for organizations considered too small to be profitable by the large Chicago real estate firms,” Campbell explains. “My relationships with clients have been built with office users as small as 30 to 200 people. By making our focus the providing of a strategic mindset and superior customer service, Bella Terra Partners brings an experienced and sophisticated approach to office …
