History
editThe building was completed in 1961, and was formerly known as Bank One Plaza until their merger with Chase. Before that, it was home to Marine Bank and was known as the Marine Plaza. In 2021, the building was sold to Group RMC and is currently managed by CBRE.
Currently, it is the 13th tallest building in Milwaukee. It was the second tallest building in Milwaukee from 1961 to 1973, when U.S. Bank Center was completed.
In June 2016, the Farbman Group acquired the building for $30.5 million from Brookfield Real Estate Opportunity Fund. They have since made significant updates to the lobbies, common areas and amenity space on the first and second floors, as well as the attached parking structure.
In November 2021, Group RMC purchased the building with plans to reposition the building as a Class A Office building. Since they purchased the building in 2021, the main lobby off of Water Street has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation. The owner has also created new Tenant amenity spaces such as a Fitness Center, Tenant Lounge, and Tenant conference room. Several floors have also had their elevator lobby & restrooms renovated since Group RMC took over as well. Currently, Chase Tower is managed by CBRE Group, and their leasing team is Colliers International.
