Direct answer

The National at 125 South Clark is the historic Commercial National Bank Building, now a 20-floor office property with a ground-floor food hall. Its current property site names management contacts and one 3,000-pound freight elevator, but no public dock route, reservation process, move window, COI rule or authorization procedure was found.

Canonical identity

This Public Seed resolves the current and historic building identities, preserves mixed-use and parcel-boundary limits, and distinguishes equipment visibility from a dispatchable operating rule. Current management and security contacts are published, but must confirm authority and provide a durable acknowledgement before any action.

Property typeOffice with ground-floor food hall
Management routeThe property site lists Jacqueline M. Compton as General Manager and Moira Mixan as Assistant Property Manager; role currency and authority require confirmation before action.
Ownership claimThe property site names CR-Chicago 125 South Clark Street LLC as a Commerz Real AG subsidiary; this is owner-side evidence, not independent title verification.

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.

No. Current management must confirm dimensions, service entrance, hours, reservation, protection, operator and receipt requirements.

03How can I improve this record?+

Submit a current public handbook, dock/freight guide, move rule or COI package and choose public-display, verification-only or private-retention permission. Contributions enter evidence review.
