Fortune Brands Opens New Campus HQ in Deerfield

Fortune Brands, a home, security and digital products company, has opened its new Deerfield headquarters, with 500 employees working at the facility.

The campus at 1 Horizon Way in Deerfield consists of three towers. Two of these will be occupied by Fortune Brands, and the third will be home to Amgen. FBIN associates have moved into one of the towers and will expand into the second tower early next year.

The new headquarters has modern work areas, including industrial design spaces and a large variety of collaboration spaces. Since announcing plans for its new campus in January, Fortune Brands has hired more than 400 associates for the Deerfield site.

The company is two years ahead of its 2027 goal of adding 400 full-time positions in the Chicago area. By the end of 2027, Fortune Brands will have the capacity to support over 1,000 professional associates at its headquarters.
