Amancio Ortega crece en Chicago con la compra de una torre de oficinas por 500 millones
Leer
Amancio Ortega, the billionaire entrepreneur, continued to invest his wealth in Chicago real estate and closed a significant acquisition of a 51-story office building located at 1 North Wacker Drive. This 2001 completed edifice, now housing companies like UBS, Fitch Ratings, PwC, and Barnes & Thornburg, was sought after by Pontegadea, Ortega's investment vehicle.
The building, situated in one of Chicago's most sought-after business districts, was acquired for nearly 550 million euros, nearly matching the 490 million euros paid for a luxury apartment tower in the same city last year.
As of the first half of 2025, Pontegadea's investments have totaled over 2.000 million euros, including office buildings, logistical warehouses, and luxury apartments. The year so far has seen Pontegadea's transactions surpass 117 billion euros in assets, marking a 7.86% increase compared to the previous year. In addition to real estate, Pontegadea, in collaboration with Macquarie and UniSuper, recently acquired Australian logistics operator Qube Holdings for 11.700 million Australian dollars (approximately 7.000 million euros), including the company's debt.
