E-Commerce Firm Zoro Consolidates Offices in Move to KBS Tower

Zoro, which runs an e-commerce platform for business supplies and industrial equipment, has signed an 11-year lease for nearly 42,000 square feet at KBS’ 500 W. Madison St. in the West Loop. It will relocate its home office there late next year from suburban Buffalo Grove, IL , reported Crain’s Chicago Business.  

The move to the top two floors in the 40-story building will consolidate Zoro’s roughly 60,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility at 909 Asbury Dr. in Buffalo Grove and a 17,000-square-foot office that it has occupied at 500 W. Madison since early 2019. 

Zoro joins a long list of suburban-based businesses that have moved their workspace downtown, Crain’s reported. CBRE’s Tyler and Paul Reaumond negotiated the lease on behalf of Zoro. Matt Lerner and Wendy Katz of Stream Realty Partners oversee leasing at 500 W. Madison for KBS.
