Wright Heerema Creates New CMAP Offices at Old Post Office

Wright Heerema Architects recently completed work on a new office suite in Chicago’s historic Old Post Office for the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the regional organization responsible for seven Northeastern Illinois counties’ plans. CMAP is moving from its previous headquarters at Willis Tower into a 37,400-square-foot fourth floor suite at 433 W. Van Buren St.

“We were honored to help CMAP create a new headquarters in the historic old postmaster’s suite, where the agency can continue to serve our communities,” said Mel Chotiner, senior interior designer at Wright Heerema. “With subtle design measures and an emphasis on group space, we were able to provide an inviting office experience for staff, in a cost-effective, beautiful space that also welcomes in the public.”

Wright Heerema and CMAP partnered with owner / developer 601W, owner’s representative Telos Group, general contractor Power Construction and tenant representative Cresa.
