Census Bureau Takes 33,000 SF on W. Madison

CHICAGO-The federal General Services Administration is leasing 33,351 sf at Citigroup Center, 500 W. Madison. The space will be used by the US Census Bureau. The term of the lease is five years, says Ann Tomlinson, senior vice president with MB Real Estate, which manages the building. Citigroup Center is owned by GE Real Estate.

The Census Bureau chose the space because of “the size of the floor plates, the proximities to trains and the central location downtown and the amenities in the building and in the immediate area,” Tomlinson says. There are 25 dining options and more than 20 retail shops which are located inside the building. “The building is in the center of the bustling West Loop and we are connected to the (Metra) Ogilvie Transportation Center and across the street is (the Metra) Union Station,” she says. The building is also near the Dan Ryan expressway.
