The Aon Center is a modern supertall skyscraper in the Chicago Loop, Chicago, Illinois, United States, designed by architect firms Edward Durell Stone and The Perkins and Will partnership, and completed in 1974 as the Standard Oil Building. With 83 floors and a height of 1,136 feet, it is the third tallest building in Chicago, surpassed in height by the Willis Tower and the Trump International Hotel and Tower. The building is managed by Jones Lang LaSalle, which is also headquartered in the building. Aon Center formerly had the headquarters of Aon and Amoco; Aon's US operations are still headquartered here.HistoryConstructionThe Standard Oil Building was constructed as the new headquarters of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, which had previously been housed at South Michigan Avenue and East 9th Street. When it was completed in 1974 it was the tallest building in Chicago and the fourth-tallest in the world, earning it the nickname "Big Stan". (A year later, the Sears Tower took the title as Chicago's and world's tallest.) The building employs a tubular steel-framed structural system with V-shaped perimeter columns to resist earthquakes, reduce sway, minimize column bending, and maximize column-free space. This construction method was also used for the former World Trade Center towers in New York City.

P3 Advisors, LLC (P3) is a premier development firm with a broad range of markets, including SnowSports365, infrastructure solutions, and real estate development. P3 has a combined 60+ years of experience in these industries. P3 leverages private enterprise (expertise and capital) in support of public sector projects, wherein public assets (land, infrastructure, etc.) are developed or enhanced to the benefit of the communities we serve, our investors, and P3. P3 owns SnowSports365 which is a development company for year round snow sports parks in the United States. Mr. Shawn Temple, P3 Managing Director, was a key member of the team that planned and developed the Liberty Mountain facility in Lynchburg, VA. Designed by Briton Engineering, the park’s slopes are made of the industry’s most innovative year round terrain technology, Snowflex®. P3 is currently engaged in a public-private partnership with the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado to develop a large snow sports facility within its best-of-class Philip S. Miller Regional Park. This snow park will open in the fall of 2015. Further, P3 is in discussions with other municipalities and park districts throughout the US to bring this innovative snow sports park concept and technology to their communities. P3 works with its municipal and regional public sector clients to assess the costs and benefits of using the public-private partnership model to enhance the infrastructure assets under their control and ownership. By bringing private capital to communities that otherwise are not in a position to invest in utility and infrastructure upgrades or ground-up development, P3 helps solve pressing problems affecting the quality of life for residents and businesses. P3 is working closely with a multi-national utility services and development company that can bring the needed capital to the table in a rapid fashion, eliminating the need to take the projects to the financial markets for underwriting and funding. This dramatically reduces the time and expense associated with other typical public-private transactions in the marketplace. P3 brings a wealth of knowledge on how to leverage public-private partnerships in the real estate development business. Its principals have successfully negotiated and implemented several highly innovative Development Agreements with local municipalities using the public-private model. These transactions were designed to be beneficial to all parties involved and leveraged private sector capital and expertise to advance dormant city-owned real estate assets to economic vitality. By understanding the entirety of the development process, the technical aspects of the development, the goals and expectations of the elected officials, and the complex financing associated with this type of project, P3 Advisors is recognized as a leader in this niche market.
