Skender Handles Build-Out for Corix’s West Loop Offices

Skender, serving as general contractor, recently completed the 30,000-square-foot interior build-out at 500 W. Monroe St. for Corix Group of Companies. The water, wastewater and energy utility firm consolidated its offices across North America to downtown Chicago, where it will immediately house approximately 70 employees.

“This was the right thing to do in support of our strategies for the future,” said Lisa Sparrow, Corix president and CEO. “We will continue to need to draw the ‘best and brightest’ into our workforce and an urban setting along with suburban transit access, greatly facilitates that.”

Corix’s Shared Services group will comprise the bulk of the workforce housed at 500 W. Monroe, and currently supports all the local business units throughout the U.S. Skender said it collaborated with architecture firm Nelson, owner’s representative Colliers International and engineering firm Environmental Systems Design to complete the project on a tight schedule.
