1) When we moved to that facility ('84 I believe) we only needed one trading floor. Leo Melamed and others authorized $27 million or so to construct the shell of another trading floor directly above.
The $CME trading pits were split into two floors - ag products & equity futures on the lower floor, currencies & interest rates on the upper floor.
The lower floor could accommodate 4,300 people at one time; the upper floor, 2,300:pic.twitter.com/yqDxTD9PLZ

2) When dramatic growth meant we needed the space ('89?) it was a $25-30 million project to built out the second trading floor. In the meantime, when CBOT required a more space and built a new trading floor it was something like $250 million.
