In 2014, the building was purchased by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which already housed several back-office functions there, for $28 million (equivalent to $36 million in 2023).[3]. The Chicago Park District planned to vacate floors 3 through 7, which it used as its headquarters, in 2018.[4] It then negotiated an extension with rent of the lease while preparing a move to a new facility.[5]
