BMO Financial Group announced plans for a new office tower in Chicago. Central to BMO’s business transformation strategy, the new BMO Tower will be developed by Riverside Investment & Development and Convexity Properties, in partnership with the bank.  Approximately 3,600 employees will ultimately be located across 14 floors of the 50-floor, 700 foot building, which opens in 2022. For BMO customers, the new tower will include a state-of-the-art branch, ATMs and the latest innovations in banking. BMO Tower’s central location will provide employees with easy access to air transportation, rail networks, CTA, road and bike paths, helping BMO continue to attract the best and brightest talent.  This initiative was driven by BMO’s Corporate Real Estate team in Chicago, who were represented in the transaction by Steve Stratton and Jeff Liljeberg of JLL.
