Canonical identity

This Public Seed resolves the named asset and current-facing owner and operating relationships. It separates rentable and benchmark gross area, preserves parcel and authority unknowns, and does not treat public tenant procedures as access permission.

Property typeCommercial office and design showroom
Management routeTHE MART tenant portal lists Maulik Shah, Kristin Pabst, Dave Foley, Patti Jaglinski and Chuck Lombardi in operations, management, tenant-relations and security roles; undated pages require revalidation.
Ownership claimVornado Realty Trust publishes THE MART as a property; legal title and parcel or air-rights boundaries remain unverified.

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.

Service requests

Entitled tenants submit work orders through the Service Portal; status updates and the post-closure invoice are durable receipts. Emergency tenant requests are directed by phone with follow-up email.

Tenant portal reviewed August 16, 2026; rates effective March 1, 2025

Dock and freight

The public tenant portal publishes dock and freight hours, a Kinzie Street dock entrance, reservations, labor windows and removal-pass requirements. These procedures do not grant requester access.

Undated tenant portal reviewed August 16, 2026

Vendor and riser controls

Tenant vendors require a vendor agreement and digital COI. IMG is named as riser manager, but carrier listings do not prove suite service or installation authority.

Questions this record answers

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

01Who publishes THE MART as a property?+

Vornado Realty Trust publishes THE MART and its property specifications. Legal title and parcel scope are not established by the public page.

02How are tenant service requests documented?+

The tenant portal says entitled users receive ticket status updates and a post-closure invoice added to the tenant rent statement.

03Is THE MART dispatch ready?+

No. Public procedures are tenant-facing and do not verify a requester's entitlement, current approval or building-wide safety accuracy.

04How can I improve this record?+

Submit an authoritative public URL or dated official document and specify public-display permission, verification-only use or private retention. Contributions enter evidence review.
