Chicago, IL – November 11, 2011 – United Kingdom-based real estate performance analysis firm Investment Property Databank US (IPD) recently signed a new lease for office space at The Civic Opera Building in Chicago.

IPD opened its first Chicago office in 2007 in River North, but quickly outgrew that space. Additionally, IPD was looking to upgrade its office and building aesthetic to create a more professional environment in close proximity to the Metra trains, L lines and its institutional customer base. “Tishman Speyer, the landlord at 20 N Wacker, was very accommodating, offering a compelling economic package to attract IPD to the already built out space on the 17^th floor. This coupled with the amenities of the Tower Club, the presence, history and professional aesthetic of the Civic and the proximity to transportation, it was a simple choice,” said Rhea Campbell of Bella Terra Partners, who negotiated this transaction on behalf of IPD.

IPD is at the forefront of global real estate performance analysis, providing accurate and comprehensive information to measure real estate market returns and to take advantage of emerging trends. IPD has a multi-national staff of 300 and a presence in 20 countries through subsidiaries and existing trade associations.
