CHICAGO—Kehoe Designs has just decided to relocate from the Near West Side and settle near Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, an area beginning to attract more interest from developers and users. The event décor and design company leased the entire 234,500-square-foot facility at 2555 S. Leavitt St. and will move inventory, manufacturing and employees from four facilities including their main location at 2108 W. Walnut St.
