Bio
Andre Wiggins is a senior vice president with the Transwestern Chicago office, helping to oversee asset management for downtown Chicago properties. Andre is responsible for providing additional resources and oversight for governmental clients, including the City of Chicago and Cook County at the Richard Daley Center, 69 West Washington, Millennium Park, Maggie Daley Park, the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Chicago Riverwalk.
Andre became the assistant general manager of the Richard Daley Center in 2008. At the Daley Center, he oversaw building operations, accounting reporting functions, and daily event activity within the building’s 88,000 sf exterior plaza. In 2014, he was promoted to general manager of the Daley Center, spearheading the building’s leasing efforts with the State of Illinois, restructuring and increasing plaza event billing and revenues while renegotiating cleaning and engineering service contracts, and achieving over $1M in annual operating savings. Andre was responsible for implementing challenging projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. He led the building’s disease control and mitigation efforts while maintaining full building access to all tenants and visitors. These accomplishments, among many others, helped Andre to win BOMA’s 2021 Gold Circle “Property Management Professional of the Year” award. In 2022, Andre was promoted to Senior Vice President and took on a new role helping to oversee all of Transwestern Chicago’s assets. Also in 2022, Andre was instrumental in the lease signing and office reorganization of the Cook County, Illinois government’s move to 161 North Clark, where they now occupy five floors and over 100,000 square feet of space.
