That's not that unprecedented. .
Dover Corp moved from Manhattan to the Chicago burbs about 6-7 years ago. Fortune 500 company. Some other companies have moved here as well (pharmaceuticals, etc).
The reason I don't think Aetna will move here is because Chicago is not particularly specialized in their industry, hence moving here affords little benefit compared to just moving to Boston or NY, whereby executives don't have to completely uproot themselves.
