New Chicago Life Sciences Building Reimagines the Lab Space
Situated in Chicago’s Lincoln Yards neighborhood, 1229 West Concord is reimaging lab space in the booming urban epicenter.
Designed by Gensler and envisioned by Sterling Bay, a premier real estate development firm in Chicago, the eight-story Class A lab is equipped with WELL Health-Safety Rating, RESET, Fitwel, WiredScore Platinum, and LEED Silver minimum.
The construction also boasts 285 thousand available RSF, approximately 43 thousand SF floor plates, tenant flexible lab and office use, state-of-the-art amenities including a gym, 55 parking spaces, over 100 bike storages, and indoor and outdoor conferencing centers and balconies.
The building is also enclosed in floor- to ceiling glass, providing natural light, and contributing to a circadian rhythm lighting system meant to mimic the environment.
Another feature of the property is its location in one of Chicago’s booming riverfront neighborhoods, equipped with shops, dining, entertainment, easy transit, and more.
The building is set to be completed this year and is currently available for lease. If you are interested you can contact hello@sterlingbay.com or visit https://www.1229wconcord.com/.
