Fintech’s Affirm Joins Tenant Roster at 350 N. Orleans

San Francisco-based fintech company Affirm, Inc. will be opening its first Chicago office at EQ Office’s 350 North Orleans. Affirm signed a lease for more than 57,000 square feet, with plans for a spring move-in.

Affirm is the latest of several tech companies establishing a presence at 350 North Orleans, including Nitel, Shoprunner, Gartner, OPEX Analytics and Devbridge Group, further establishing the building as a new tech hub in River North.

“We worked closely with the Affirm team to identify creative solutions to support their growth needs,” said David Moore, SVP and portfolio director at EQ Office. “350 N. Orleans’ recent enhancements and ideal neighborhood location make it a magnet for innovative companies of all sizes, and the highly functional floorplates with abundant natural light will set Affirm up for success in attracting and retaining top tech talent.”

CBRE’s Kyle Kamin and Michael Kazmierczak were the brokers on the deal.

Connect Industrial Midwest is coming to Rosemont, IL on March 4. For more information, or to register, click here.
