ULTA Establishes Downtown Satellite Office

120 S. Riverside Plaza will give ULTA employees quick access to the train stations and many of downtown’s amenities.

CHICAGO—Downtown Chicago has scored again as another suburban firm has decided it needs office space in the CBD. Officials from Bolingbrook, IL-based ULTA Beauty announced on Friday that they would soon open a 23,000 square foot office at 120 South Riverside Plaza in the West Loop, within a block of both Union and Ogilvie Metra Stations. ULTA currently employs about 750 people at its suburban corporate headquarters and the new downtown space will have 100 work stations.

Some suburban firms that have recently opened new downtown offices have done so to serve select employees, such as those in advertising, IT, or marketing, partly to boost their recruiting efforts in these specific sectors. But ULTA’s new space “will not serve as a permanent base for any of our associates, but will offer additional flexibility and access to Chicago’s public transportation and business community,” a company spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com.
