Area claims stay separate

Gross, rentable, and office area are not interchangeable. Factum stores each measurement with its source meaning instead of choosing a convenient single number.

Dated office-building area324,000 sq ftStream Realty's February 2020 marketing statement; not a current verified legal or rentable measurement
Retail portion21,565 sq ftNewmark's April 2026 transaction statement; retail component only, not the whole building

What public guidance supports

These are sourced research answers, not permission to enter, reserve, submit, or dispatch. Current affected-party authorization remains required.

Planning context

A public 42nd Ward page reports Plan Commission approval for a proposal to convert office space into 320 dwelling units; this is not permit, occupancy or completion evidence.

Public sources reviewed August 17, 2026

Component boundary

A reported April 2026 sale concerns the retail portion only and is not evidence of title to the entire building.

Public sources reviewed August 17, 2026

Authorization boundary

Public contacts and management labels do not authorize access, work orders, dispatch, delivery, security or emergency activity.
