The new space is being designed by Gensler, as is described as a "live, work, play" environment featuring flexible open spaces and semi-private meeting rooms. Lockton will occupy the upper floors of the 777 Tower.JLL Los Angeles' team of Christina Noonan, Tony Morales, and Maureen Hawley represented Lockton in the lease.
