20 Units of Blood Donated at Our Summer Blood Drive
June 9, 2023
Did you know donating blood can save up to 3 lives per donor? Last week, we partnered with Versiti to host our own blood drive as a special way to give back and strengthen our community. We’re thankful to the 17 team members that donated 20 units of blood and potentially saved up to 60 lives!
Our team recently completed a stunning lobby renovation at 500 West Monroe that features a new curtainwall entrance; multi-tiered, curved ceilings; high-end furniture; and massive custom-made, hand-sewn rugs imported from overseas—a truly inviting space for building tenants and guests.
This dynamic project required extensive #logistics planning and coordination to work in the heavily occupied building. Thanks to Spear Street Capital for trusting us as their GC, and all partners involved for their collaboration on this complex renovation: Wright Heerema Architects, Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP, Environmental Systems Designs, and JLL.
