409 + 499 Illinois

Envisioned as a life sciences hub, 409 + 499 Illinois was built with higher electrical capacity as well as column spacing specifically geared toward lab use. Today the project is substantially leased to FibroGen, Illumina, and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. Below-grade parking accommodates 600 cars, while the welcoming elevated plaza offers places for people to gather and mingle.
SKS managed the entitlement, design, and construction of this project on behalf of the Shorenstein Company.
