While the Wrigley company itself was sold to Mars just about three years ago, the 90-year-old landmark building on Michigan Avenue in Chicago has just been sold to BDT Capital Partners of Chicago (Groupon holds a minority stake in the deal), who will seek landmark status for the building. Today’s Washington Post reports that “the chewing gum maker has been committed to securing new ownership for the building that would ensure its future and protect its legacy.”
