Acento is also planning renovations at common areas of the properties, Commercial Observer reported.

24 Hour Fitness Worldwide Inc., which owns more than 430 gyms, is in talks to find a buyer as it plans to file for bankruptcy, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. The company is seeking to solicit bids ahead of a planned filing after missing a June 1 bond interest payment, according to the report.

Time Equities and JK Equities have halted construction at a Michigan Avenue condo tower project in Chicago, Crain's Chicago Business reported on Friday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. The companies have pumped the brakes on their 74-story, 421-unit project at 1000 S. Michigan Ave. out of concerns about spreading the coronavirus, according to the report.
