SMS Assist Relocating Offices to One Two Pru

Facilities maintenance technology provider SMS Assist has signed a long-term lease to move to Sterling Bay’s One Two Pru at 130 E. Randolph St. The company will occupy the 114,000 square-foot, four-floor, former headquarters of the Chicago Tribune

“It was important to find a collaborative, comfortable, and convenient space for our Chicago team members, and this office became available at the ideal time with very favorable market conditions,” said SMS Assist CEO Marc Shiffman.  

The space comes fully built out, and the new office includes a private entry on Stetson Street. 

“SMS Assist is a true disruptor in the facilities maintenance industry, and its new office at One Two Pru provides the company with the ability to develop its market-leading solutions in an incomparable setting,” said Savills vice chairman Robert Sevim, who advised SMS Assist.  

SMS Assist will relocate its Chicago office in the first quarter of 2022.
