Salesforce, Meta Putting Big Blocks of Chicago Office Space Up for Sublease

Salesforce and Meta are looking to sublease significant portions of their downtown Chicago office space, spokespeople for both companies told the Chicago Tribune. Salesforce plans to put about 125,000 square feet in the Salesforce Tower at Wolf Point on the sublease market, while Meta will sublease approximately 115,000 square feet at CNA Tower.

Both tech companies have announced mass layoffs in recent months. Meta announced 11,000 layoffs last fall and another 10,000 cuts earlier this month, while Salesforce said in January that it was letting 8,000 employees go. 

“The past few years have brought new possibilities around the role of the office, and we are prioritizing making focused, balanced investments to support our most strategic long-term priorities and lead the way in creating the workplace of the future,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. “We remain committed to Chicago and look forward to years of innovation ahead.”
