Sterling Bay’s $300 million deal to buy the office and parking portions of the former John Hancock Center from Hearn fell apart.

The two Chicago-based real estate investment firms “mutually agreed” to call off the deal for the property at 875 North Michigan Avenue, a Sterling Bay spokesperson told Crain’s. No further details were given. The pending sale was first reported in July.
