Boeing ABANDONS Chicago: Illinois Loses Its Biggest Corporate Symbol

Illinois Lost Boeing As Company Sells Chicago HQ For $22 Million Boeing has just sold its Chicago headquarters for $22 million — a building it purchased for $165 million two decades ago. That’s an 87% loss on a 36-story skyscraper sitting along the Chicago River. And that single transaction says almost everything about what’s happening in Illinois today. Boeing didn’t just take a loss on real estate — it effectively walked away from the state. In 2001, Boeing announced it would move its global headquarters from Seattle to Chicago, triggering a high-profile bidding war that beat out Dallas and Denver. At the time, it was celebrated as a major win for the city. Boeing signed a 15-year lease, then purchased the property outright in 2005 for $165.2 million. The building at 100 North Riverside Plaza became known as the “Boeing Building” — a corporate trophy symbolizing Chicago’s arrival as a global business hub. That moment marked the peak.
