The paper is moving its employees to a building in the trendy West Loop.
* Coincidentally, this announcement was made today…
The Chicago Tribune will move in early 2018 to the Prudential Plaza office complex, ending a 93-year run in the newspaper’s namesake tower on North Michigan Avenue.
Parent company Tronc on Friday confirmed the newspaper will move to One Prudential Plaza in the second quarter of 2018. The Tribune first reported in August that Tronc was in advanced negotiations for a lease in the 41-story building overlooking Millennium Park.
The lease at 130 E. Randolph St. is for 137,137 square feet on the second, third, fourth, 40th and 41st floors.
Prudential Plaza is a few blocks south of Tribune Tower, the newspaper’s home since the landmark building was completed in 1925. “While moving is always difficult, and leaving our home since 1925 brings a sense of nostalgia, this is a wonderful opportunity to create the next generation newsroom and an overall energetic and inviting environment for our entire team,” Tronc CEO Justin Dearborn said in an email to employees on Friday.
* Back to the twitters…

130 West Randolph. Isn’t that where the Chicago Federation of Labor has its offices? Trib should be moving to the Thompson Center. They already have a bed which the editors occupy there. It would save on phone costs,too.
Perhaps they fear the Thompson Center would only be temporary quarters which they would have to vacate in a year.
My condolences to Jorge Ramirez- there goes the neighborhood

Always lift with your legs.
The other day when I was tidying up & moved boxes & boxes of papers I was quite proud of the fact that my knees were killing me but I didn’t feel a lick of pain in my back.

Tronc is the worst name of all time. It’s the sound an old man makes passing gas.
