Chicago & Midwest  + Downtown  + Office  | 
Braze, Inc. subleased a 50,023-square-foot full floor in a multiyear transaction at Shorenstein Properties’ One North State Street in downtown Chicago.

Software Company Showpad Triples Loop Presence

Sales training software company Showpad leased 68,391 square feet at Shorenstein Properties’ One North State. The expansion more than triples the Belgium-based tenant’s footprint at the property: it came into One North State last year with an 18,368-square-foot lease.

CBRE’s Sara Spicklemire and Kelsey Scheive represented Shorenstein. Cushman & Wakefield’s James Stein represented Showpad.

“Showpad’s explosive growth has not only been fueled by the growing demand for solutions to scale sales excellence and optimize marketing impact, but is also a testament to the amazing talent and tech community here in Chicago,” said Jason Holmes, president and COO of Showpad. “We’re excited to continue investing in Chicago and growing our presence here.”

One North State was built between 1900 and 1912 as the flagship for the Mandel Brothers department store. Shorenstein capitalized on the Loop building’s robust infrastructure and large picture windows to transform it into a hub for tech tenants.
