Chicago Exchanges Eyeing Exit From City Over High Taxes

Discussion in 'Economics' started by JamesL, Jun 9, 2011.

  1. CME has over 500,000 sq ft of data centers.
    IT staff of 800 with 100 working on weekends.
    Globex is their bread and butter and they are expanding access to serve more foreign exchanges.

    They will likely maintain a Chicago Marquis address but the heart of their data operations have already been moved out of the city and into a 276000 sq ft suburban facility in Aurora.
