WHY THIS MATTERS

With 6.1 msf of office space being built by the end of 2020, Chicago looks poised to continue to be a top spot for companies, even without Amazon’s HQ2. With McDonald’s HQ moving from the suburbs into the city, the West Loop looks poised to become a top economic zone in Chicago.

While this growth is of course great, it seems to be pushing some companies to look towards the suburbs for some rent relief. With Class B and C office space having higher vacancy rates what concession can they make to keep these businesses in the city?

Join us as Chicago’s top developers take a deeper look at trends and growth patterns that impact office space throughout the city.
