BREAKING: Chicago Blackhawks Officially Begin $75 Million Dollar Relocation
Change is on the horizon for the Chicago Blackhawks as the Wirtz Corporation, the force behind the team, gets ready for an exciting move.
Chicago Blackhawks Wirtz Corporation Headquarters Officially Begin Process To Relocate
The family controlled powerhouse, renowned for its city-wide impact, is shifting to a stunning vintage Art Deco building on the iconic Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River.
This landmark structure at 333 N. Michigan Ave, owned by the Wirtz Corporation, is no ordinary building. Originally designed in 1929, it recently underwent an astonishing $75 million renovation, transforming it into a modern marvel.
For years, the Wirtz family conducted their business from offices at 666 N. Lake Shore Drive, within the former American Furniture Mart. Overlooking Lake Michigan, this location held sentimental value for the late patriarchs Arthur, Bill, and Rocky Wirtz.
Following the passing of his father Rocky Wirtz on July 25, 2023, Danny Wirtz took full ownership of the Wirtz Corporation.
The Wirtz Corporation, a powerhouse with ownership stakes in the Blackhawks and liquor wholesaler Breakthru Beverage Group, possesses a significant portfolio of buildings across Chicago. Yet, the vintage gem at Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive stands out as the only all-commercial structure in their repertoire excluding their half-ownership of the United Center.
Danny Wirtz, now Chairman and President of the Wirtz Corporation, expressed his enthusiasm about the move.
"It will be a beautiful new headquarters for our family office and its in one of our buildings, which makes it even more special. It's an old vintage gem."
As the Wirtz Corporation settles into its new headquarters, the Chicago Blackhawks will undergo a transformation that reflects not just a corporate shift but a commitment to preserving and enhancing the city's rich history.
