Google Grows Chicago Footprint to 500K SF
Confirming speculation that has swirled for the past few months, Google and Sterling Bay said the tech giant would lease 132,000 square feet at the developer’s forthcoming 210 N. Carpenter St. in the Fulton Market District. The company already leases 372,000 square feet at Sterling Bay’s 1000 W. Fulton Market.
The expansion of Mountain View, CA-based Google’s local footprint to more than 500,000 square feet is intended “to accommodate additional short-term and long-term growth of our Chicago office,” Karen Sauder, who leads Google’s Chicago office, said in a statement.
What began as a small sales office “has now grown to house some of Google’s most critical teams with roughly over 1,000 employees working across product, engineering, technical infrastructure, advertising and more,” Sauder added. “Chicago is considered an innovation hub for the greater Midwest and attracts incredible talent from across all industries.”
CBRE’s Kyle Kamin represented Google in leasing negotiations.
