01

Canonical identity

This Public Seed resolves Accenture Tower as one office building while keeping the connected rail station, land, air-rights interests and historical parcel references separate. It preserves source-specific area and year-built figures and withholds a benchmark coordinate that conflicts with the address.

Property typeOffice
Management routeThe official building site lists Transwestern and a general property-management channel; role and authority must be reconfirmed before action.
Ownership claimKBS publishes the property in its portfolio, and a 2020 SEC-filed agreement named KBSIII 500 WEST MADISON, LLC as landlord. Current recorder-confirmed title was not reviewed.
LocationNot independently verified
02

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.

What public guidance supports

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

Building boundary

The office tower is connected to and sits above Ogilvie Transportation Center, but no shared campus, parcel, access or operating identity is inferred.

Public sources reviewed August 16, 2026

Management route

The official property site lists Transwestern with a general management phone and email. A public contact does not establish authority to approve work, access or commitments.

Undated page reviewed August 16, 2026

Operating rules

No authoritative current public source established visitor, loading, freight, contractor, after-hours, life-safety, emergency or telecom-riser procedures.

Public-source review completed August 16, 2026

Coordinates

The City benchmark coordinate materially conflicts with the building address and is not published for dispatch or routing.

Questions this record answers

Each concise answer includes the same caveats shown elsewhere on the page.

01Is Accenture Tower the same as 500 West Madison?+

Yes. KBS and the official building site identify Accenture Tower as the office tower formerly known as 500 West Madison.

02Is Ogilvie Transportation Center part of this building record?+

Only the physical connection is recorded. Factum does not merge the rail station, its operations or its access rules into the office-building entity.

03Can this record be used for building access or dispatch?+

No. Current access, dock, freight, safety, emergency and telecom-riser procedures were not established.

04How can I improve this record?+

Submit a current county parcel record, manager confirmation, or dated tenant handbook, dock/freight, move, COI, emergency or riser material and select public-display, verification-only or private-retention permission.
