Located at 800 S Wells St in Chicago's South Loop, this single-floor space showcases a thoughtfully designed, contemporary interior that balances open communal areas with defined private zones. The polished terrazzo flooring extends throughout, reflecting light and reinforcing a sense of expansive, fluid movement across the space. A sweeping curved staircase serves as a dramatic architectural centerpiece, framed by vertical wood slat wall panels and living green installations that introduce warmth and biophilic elements. Large, glass-walled meeting and conference rooms line one corridor, offering transparency and views into the main floor while maintaining acoustic separation. The open lounge areas feature bold, eclectic furnishings—including modular sofas, velvet accent chairs, and vibrant botanical-patterned rugs—set beneath striking wire pendant light fixtures. A long communal worktable with planters runs through the central gathering zone, ideal for collaborative use. Floor-to-ceiling windows along the perimeter admit abundant natural light and frame views of the surrounding cityscape. A standout reading nook features a dramatic arched alcove with a colorfully organized bookshelf wall and intimate seating. An open fitness area with glass partitions rounds out the diverse programming of this dynamic, amenity-driven floor.

South Loop’s invigorating blend of business and pleasure attracts a wide range of residents who love to stay active and participate in a fast-paced, modern lifestyle. Located just south of central downtown, South Loop encapsulates most of the Grant Park area and borders the shore of Lake Michigan. Many locals are able to walk to work, and the exceptional access to public transportation makes it easy to get anywhere in the city.
This area’s diverse population includes students, musicians, politicians, artists, and professionals of many industries. A superb selection of world-class restaurants draws foodies from across the city, and the local nightlife incorporates everything from music venues to dive bars to swanky nightclubs. The famous museums of the neighborhood cater to more academic tastes, and the waterfront parks offer lush environments to relax and enjoy gorgeous views of the lake. With Soldier Field right next door, it’s the perfect location for Bears fans.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
