Nonprofit Expands to 61K SF in Central Loop Relocation

Feeding America is relocating its headquarters to 61,324 square feet at 161 N. Clark in Chicago’s Central Loop. The relocation represents a 32% expansion for the nonprofit, which will move from 35 E. Wacker when the lease commences in the fourth quarter.

Cresa’s Mindy Saffer represented Feeding America in the transaction, along with JLL’s Rob Schmidt. NKF advised 161 N. Clark’s ownership.

“Feeding America has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years, and the group had to rethink the way they were using office space,” said Saffer. “161 N. Clark met its project goals.”

“The space provides employees a more collaborative and efficient work environment, while the building provides ample room for Feeding America to host meetings. It was extremely important to Feeding America’s executive team to keep real estate costs as low as possible, while creating space that improves operations for its staff,” she added.
