The Chicago-based owner of downtown’s Fifth Third Center is looking to overhaul the plaza that fronts the skyscraper.

EQ Office, a real estate investment company that owns 80 office properties comprising a collective 40 million square feet, paid nearly $145 million for the tower in December 2019. EQ Office now envisions major plaza upgrades and has enlisted Nashville-based Gresham Smith to handle the design effort, according to a document submitted to the Metro Development and Housing Agency.
