Direct answer

Sullivan Center is the mixed office and retail complex at 1 S State Street, historically the Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building. SAIC publishes dock and freight rules for its leased floors, but those rules do not establish campuswide authority. Current office management, non-SAIC operating rules, life-safety procedures and telecom access remain unresolved. The complex is Graph Mapped, not Verified or Dispatch Ready.

Canonical identity

This Public Seed resolves the complex and historic landmark identity, preserves its multi-building grain, and separates SAIC tenant-scope operating evidence from campuswide authority. Historical parcel, ownership and lease evidence remains explicitly time-bounded.

Property typeMixed office and retail
Management routeAcadia publishes retail-side leasing and property-management roles. No current campuswide office manager was confirmed.
Ownership claimHistorical One South State entities and a 20-PIN PTAB set are preserved as bitemporal evidence; current title across the connected complex is unresolved.

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.

Complex identity

Chicago identifies a nine-connected-building complex at 1 S State; the landmark identity is the Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building.

Government and landmark sources reviewed August 14, 2026

SAIC deliveries

SAIC requests 48 hours' notice and coordination with SAIC staff or Sullivan Center facilities for deliveries to its leased floors. This is not a campuswide rule.

Live SAIC page reviewed August 14, 2026

Freight access

SAIC says the State and Wabash freight banks use key systems and large-item movement must be scheduled. The page contains a floor-number inconsistency, so routes must be reconfirmed.

Live SAIC page reviewed August 14, 2026

Dispatch state

No public evidence established current campuswide authorization, non-SAIC dock rules, life-safety procedures or telecom/riser access.

Questions this record answers

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

01What is Sullivan Center?+

It is a connected mixed office and retail complex at 1 S State Street with the historic Carson Pirie Scott landmark as its core identity.

02Can SAIC's dock rules be used for every tenant?+

No. They are published by SAIC for SAIC-coordinated movement and do not prove authority for Target, office tenants or the complex as a whole.

03Who currently owns and manages the whole complex?+

That is not resolved. Retail-side roles, historical entities and regulatory records have different scope and cannot be merged into a current campuswide answer.

04How can I improve this record?+

Submit a correction or dated tenant handbook, dock guide, move rule or COI package and choose public-display, verification-only or private-retention permission. Contributions enter review and never overwrite canonical claims directly.
