CommonGrounds Workplace Plants Flag in the Loop

CommonGrounds Workplace is continuing its national rollout, signing a 10-year lease for 30,783 square feet at The John Buck Company’s 33 N. LaSalle. The co-working and flexible-space firm plans to take occupancy in the first quarter of 2020.

“The Chicago Loop is the second-largest CBD and has limited flexible office solutions for the Fortune 1500 and Global 1000,” said Jacob Bates, CommonGrounds’ CEO. “33 North LaSalle is perfectly located, recently renovated, and ready to serve as CommonGrounds’ fully activated Chicago flagship workplace.”

The renovation of the CommonGounds space, which encompasses the second and third floors at 33 N. LaSalle, will be overseen by the company’s in-house design division. Chicago-based Partners by Design is the architect of record.

NKF’s Jon Cordell and Jess O’Hara represented TJBC in leasing negotiations. Jim Suber with Strategic Real Estate Advisory represented CommonGrounds.
