GlenStar Achieves a First with WiredScore Designation

GlenStar is the first landlord to achieve WiredScore certification across a portfolio of Class A office properties in Chicago’s suburbs.

Schaumburg Corporate Center in Schaumburg and Presidents Plaza in Chicago earned the Wired Certified Gold designation, while Continental Towers, a three-building office complex in Rolling Meadows, earned a Wired Certified Platinum and two Wired Certified Gold designations.

“Prioritizing connectivity and incorporating it into our overall tenant experience is essential for us to deliver value and differentiate our properties in the market,” said GlenStar principal Michael Klein.

“Technology, specifically digital connectivity, is a key component in retaining tenants and ensuring their productivity needs are met,” said Christine Torres, who leads the Chicago market for WiredScore. “As the first landlord to pursue Wired Certification across a portfolio of Class A commercial office properties in the Chicago Suburbs, the team at GlenStar has positioned itself as leaders in providing a tech-forward tenant experience.”
