CHICAGO, Ill. (February 10, 2020) – Irvine Company announced today that iManage, a leading global provider of work management product solutions, has signed an 85,000-square-foot lease at 71 South Wacker, the 48-story iconic trophy tower in downtown Chicago.
“71 South Wacker’s world-class design, unique amenity mix, and highly-sought after location make it the perfect workplace community for a growing company like iManage,” said Greg Tait, senior leasing director, Irvine Company’s Chicago portfolio.
“We appreciate them as a customer, the value they place on their customers, and the overarching culture that drives their business. We are delighted that they have chosen 71 South Wacker as the place to continue their journey – growing their business, serving their customers and nurturing their employees."

“iManage is experiencing rapid growth and expansion, and we’re excited about our new location at 71 South Wacker,” said iManage CEO Neil Araujo. “Many professional corporations rely on us to deliver great client work, and our new work space will foster enhanced collaboration with partners and clients and among our teams internally.

iManage is moving from 540 West Madison Street, and will occupy its space at 71 South Wacker in early 2021.

Its ideal setting provides access to the River North neighborhood, including the finest restaurants, shops and entertainment. Current customers include Kirkland & Ellis, Chicago’s biggest law firm, and management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group.
