Chicago is going green
A vacant four-story building next to the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago is about to become the Green Exchange, the first business community in the U.S. committed to environmental sustainability, according to SupplyLink, a magazine produced by W.W. Grainger.
The first tenants are expected to move in by the end of 2008.
The purpose of the Green Exchange is to create convenient one-stop shopping for all of a customer’s eco-related needs.
The 270,000-square-foot redevelopment will include 80,000 square feet of retail/showroom space on the first and second floors and 120,000 square feet of office space on the third and fourth floors.
The magazine said the Green Exchange will include a mix of tenants offering environmentally products and services including an organic restaurant, a sustainable furniture store, a green building supply company, an eco-friendly printer, architects and designers, and environmentally friendly clothing retailer, a car-sharing service, an electric car dealership and more.
Space will be leased exclusively to tenants offering green products or services and actively working to expand environmental initiatives, the magazine reported.
