Cboe Announces Headquarters Moves

Cboe Global Markets announced it will move its Chicago South Loop headquarters west to the Old Post Office and shift its trading floor to the Chicago Board of Trade Building. The company said it signed a 15-year lease for about 185,000 square feet in the Old Post Office building at 433 W. Van Buren St. Cboe, which currently has both its headquarters and trading floor at 400 S. LaSalle St., plans to move the trading floor just across the street from its current location to the CBOT Building at 141 W. Jackson Blvd. and will have a 12-year lease there. Cboe is making the move as it continues to integrate its operations with those of Bats, which it acquired in 2016. At that time, it laid out a three-year plan to merge operations, including its workforces and technology platforms. Cboe plans to move its Chicago staff, which makes up about half of its headcount, to the new HQ by the second half of 2020.
