Clune Wraps Work on Dentsu’s 126K-SF Downtown Offices

Clune Construction has completed Dentsu International’s new Downtown Chicago office. The project was born out of the decision to bring multiple brands under one roof and create a better use of space in a creative, and collaborative atmosphere, while still helping brands retain their identity.  

Located at 515 N. State St., the 126,343-square-foot space features an interconnecting stair as well as film studios, sound booths, production rooms and editing bays to allow creative content creation for clients in-house. One major feature on each floor of the workspace is Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting, among the first of its kind installed in Chicago. 

“As a team, we learned a lot about best practices when installing PoE lighting, and had to be flexible, adaptive, and creative when completing this portion of the project.,” said Will McGowan, SVP and project executive at Clune.
