Skender Builds Out Spec Suites at Old Post Office
Skender recently completed the interior build-out for 43,000 square feet of spec suites in the North building of the historic Old Post Office in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, which has been redeveloped into state-of-the-art offices. The 11 divisible office suites provide lease options ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 square feet, along as an accompanying amenity space with two conference rooms, a reading room and a library.
As with most of the space in the redeveloped Old Post Office, these spec suites feature unique historic touches, including mosaic tiles along with salvaged doors from building storage that were reworked and reinstalled along the corridor of the space. Additionally, the space has ornate metal screen design features, wainscot paneling, specialty ceilings, custom millwork built-ins and a fireplace in the library space.
Skender worked closely with building owner 601W Companies, architect Partners by Design, and project manager JLL.
