Tenant Improvement

CNA Headquarters

5M Budget

2024 Year Completed

30,000 Sq Ft.

A large-scale tenant improvement buildout for CNA’s Chicago headquarters, delivering framing, drywall, taping, rough carpentry, and prefabrication under a firm project timeline.

Scope

Thorne Associates completed the tenant improvement buildout for CNA’s headquarters at 151 North Franklin in Chicago, encompassing framing, drywall, taping, rough carpentry, and prefabrication across a large-scale corporate interior. CNA’s move represented a significant transition for the organization, and the buildout had to deliver a finished environment worthy of a company of that stature on a schedule that left no room for delays.

Challenges & Highlights

CNA came in with high expectations and a firm timeline, and the finished scope reflected it. Detailed taping, precise beadwork, and consistent finish quality throughout the space required the kind of crew discipline and attention to detail that separates a polished corporate headquarters from an ordinary commercial interior. An aggressive schedule compressed the window for execution without reducing the standard for results.

Results

CNA completed its transition from its previous location on schedule, moving into a space that met the quality expectations of a major financial institution. Thorne’s ability to deliver precise, high-end finishes under schedule pressure is exactly the kind of performance that keeps clients coming back for their next project.
