REVIEWTRACKERS RELOCATES AND MORE THAN DOUBLES OFFICE SPACE IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

REVIEWTRACKERS RELOCATES AND MORE THAN DOUBLES OFFICE SPACE IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, August 1, 2019 – MB Real Estate (MBRE) announced today that ReviewTrackers is relocating operations to One North State Street in a move that will more than double the tech company’s footprint in downtown Chicago, bringing it to 25,147 SF. MBRE’s Assistant Vice President Craig McCaw represented ReviewTrackers in the deal. Shorenstein Properties LLC, an owner and operator of high-quality office, residential and mixed-use properties across the U.S., and current owner of the building, was represented by Sara Spicklemire and Kelsey Scheive of CBRE. ReviewTrackers was previously located in about 10,000 SF on West Ohio Street.

In addition to needing accommodation for their rapid growth, ReviewTrackers chose to relocate to provide a more convenient location and better amenities for their employees. One North State was the ideal location due to its large floorplates, proximity to public transportation, and in-building perks. Shorenstein has made significant investments in the property and added key amenities such as a large town hall, a bi-level fitness center with a climbing wall, and a rooftop deck reminiscent of a boutique hotel, making it very popular with fast-growing tech and creative firms.

“With ever increasing frequency, we are seeing wellness as a major contributing factor in real estate decisions. In ReviewTrackers’ case, employees openly requested that their new location have a gym in the building. Properties like One North State Street have unique attributes compared to typical loop offices because of their history as department stores with wide column spacing, high ceilings, and massive windows that allow for abundant natural light,” said McCaw. “It’s not surprising that such buildings have become a magnet for technology companies.”

This is the fourth lease transaction McCaw has completed with ReviewTrackers in the last five years, beginning with the sublease of their early growth space in Fulton Market.

“I am so excited about moving into a space that can accommodate our growth plans for the coming years,” said CEO Chris Campbell. “It will help us accelerate our mission to help businesses take action today and predict tomorrow.”

ReviewTrackers will move into their new space in the Fall of 2019.
