USE BOUNDARYNot verified · Not dispatch ready
Canal Station is an office building at 801 S Canal St in Chicago, formerly described as the Northern Trust building and linked to City benchmark ID 100729. Public sources report different building areas, which Factum preserves without normalization. Current legal title, management and operating authority remain unverified. It is Graph Mapped, not Verified or Dispatch Ready.
Canonical identity
This Public Seed publishes the Canal Station identity and benchmark link while retaining source-specific area figures and distinguishing historical acquisition and redevelopment roles from current title or operating control.
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.
Identity history
Current public sources use Canal Station; earlier sources describe the Northern Trust building at the same address.
Public sources reviewed August 17, 2026Reported area conflict
Reviewed sources report 680,000, 684,000 and 850,000 square feet. Factum keeps each figure attributed rather than selecting an unsupported canonical total.
Sources published 2022–2024 and reviewed August 17, 2026Coordinate conflict
The direct City benchmark row and the queue record contain materially different coordinates. Factum preserves the source-native values and does not move or merge the entity.
City 2023 row reviewed August 17, 2026Questions this record answers
Each concise answer includes the same caveats shown elsewhere on the page.
01What is Canal Station?+
It is an office building at 801 S Canal St in Chicago, formerly known in public reporting as the Northern Trust building.
02How large is Canal Station?+
Public sources report 680,000, 684,000 and 850,000 square feet under unreconciled scopes or measures, so Factum does not publish one normalized total.

Current legal title and current management authority were not established from the reviewed public sources.
04Can this record be used for access or dispatch?+
No. Public redevelopment, leasing or project references do not establish access, safety or dispatch authority.
