Cube Group Expands Office Space in Fulton Market

Cube Group, a Chicago crypto startup aimed at providing a hybrid digital asset marketplace, is expanding its real estate footprint in Fulton Market, reported Crain’s.

The company is nearing a valuation of $100 million and plans to triple its staff headcount. In a Series A funding round that closed last month, Cube Group raised $12 million. “This fundraise came entirely as a result of considerable inbound interest,” said Bartosz Lipinski, CEO at Cube. “We were not actively seeking to raise funds but were presented with an opportunity that was nearly impossible to pass up, given the investors with whom we are now partnered.”

CBRE’s senior vice president Tony Coglianese, brokered Cube Group’s five-year lease. The soon-to-launch digital asset trading platform will occupy 15,000 square feet at 401 N. Morgan Street, per the outlet. CBRE’s Jason Houze and Aaron Schuster represented Vista Property Group, which owns the 76,040-square-foot mixed-use building in the lease negotiations.
