Skender Launches Buildout for New Ace Hardware Headquarters
Skender has started construction on the 250,000-square-foot build-out of Ace Hardware Corporation’s new headquarters in Oak Brook, IL. The project, located at 2915 Jorie Blvd. will transform the main building on the former McDonald’s corporate campus into a modern, amenity-filled workplace for the hardware retailer.
Originally built in the 1970s and designed by Dirk Lohan, grandson of famed architect Mies van der Rohe, the former McDonald’s campus consists of three Brutalist-style buildings occupying more than 80 acres in Oak Brook. The campus has been empty since 2019, when the fast food giant moved its headquarters to downtown Chicago.
The project will consist of open workstations, 150 conference rooms, 12 cafes/pantries and a variety of collaboration spaces and amenities.
