Discover the newly transformed Old Post Office Building, an early 20th-century masterpiece that has been beautifully repurposed into a modern Class A Office space. Once at risk of losing its magnificent architectural features, Chicago’s Old Post Office stood empty for nearly twenty years. However, this 2.8 million square foot structure, originally completed in 1934, has undergone a significant renovation. It now functions as a contemporary multi-use venue and office area, catering to the current demand for expansive, well-lit work environments.

Explore how historical artifacts and architectural elements have been ingeniously integrated into the Old Post Office’s design, including the transformation of the roof into a 3.5-acre urban rooftop park. Historic sites can be revitalized into new spaces when a visionary developer collaborates with an award-winning architectural team.
