The Red — 333 South Wabash
333 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60604
40% provisional source coverage
USE BOUNDARYNot verified · Not dispatch ready
The Red, formerly 333 South Wabash and CNA Plaza, is one 44-story office and retail tower at 333 S Wabash Ave in Chicago. SHVO stated in March 2025 that it acquired the building in 2020 and owns and operates it. Factum has not found authoritative current public dock, freight, move, COI, contractor, access, life-safety, telecom or dispatch rules, so this record is Graph Mapped but not Verified or Dispatch Ready.
Canonical identity
This Public Seed establishes the building, current branding and organizational relationships while preserving disagreements about area, completion year and parcel scope. Leasing contacts are not treated as building-operations authorities, and marketing content is not used as job guidance.
Area claims stay separate
Gross, rentable, and office area are not interchangeable. Factum stores each measurement with its source meaning instead of choosing a convenient single number.
What public guidance supports
These are sourced research answers, not permission to enter, reserve, submit, or dispatch. Current affected-party authorization remains required.
Current identity
The current first-party site brands the single 44-story tower as The Red. Earlier public names include 333 South Wabash, Big Red, CNA Tower and CNA Plaza.
Building and owner pages reviewed August 14, 2026; rebrand announced March 20, 2025Ownership and operation
SHVO's March 2025 announcement says SHVO acquired the building in 2020 and owns and operates it. This supports the current owner/operator relationship but not any unstated access or job authority.
First-party statement published March 20, 2025; reviewed August 14, 2026Role boundaries
JLL is supported as a leasing channel only. The John Buck Company documents a historical management period ending in 2020. Neither source establishes current freight, move, access or contractor authority.
Public pages reviewed August 14, 2026Parcel evidence
An Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board decision lists five PINs in an appeal involving DF 333 Wabash Propco LLC. The decision is evidence of the appeal and listed parcels, not proof of a complete building-to-parcel map.
2023 appeal record; final decision dated October 21, 2025Questions this record answers
Each concise answer includes the same caveats shown elsewhere on the page.
01Is 333 South Wabash one building or a campus?+
Current first-party evidence supports one physical 44-story office and retail tower. The complete tax-parcel and account scope remains unresolved.
02Who owns and operates The Red?+
SHVO stated in March 2025 that it acquired the property in 2020 and owns and operates it. Factum did not establish a separate current property manager.
03Are current loading, freight, move or COI rules public?+
Not in the sources Factum reviewed. No authoritative current tenant handbook or operating document established dock, freight, move, COI, contractor, access, life-safety, telecom or dispatch rules.
04How large is the building?+
Sources disagree. Factum's City-derived census input records 1,414,679 gross square feet, SHVO reports 1,207,000 square feet, and the current building site says more than one million. These values retain their source semantics and are not averaged.
05How can I help improve this record?+
Use Get early access to submit a correction or tenant/vendor-facing public evidence such as a handbook, dock or freight guide, move rules or COI package. Choose public-display, verification-only or private-retention permission; submissions enter evidence review and never overwrite canonical claims directly.
