CHICAGO—The Heartland Alliance has just moved into its new offices at 208 S. LaSalle, a 37,000-square-foot build-out that features new standards that maximize space efficiencies and foster a collaborative work environment. The construction was completed by MB Real Estate and includes private offices, large open work areas, conference rooms and breakout spaces.

MB Real Estate's Project Services division led by David Graff, senior vice president and Brian Toenjes, project manager, oversaw the construction process.

“Heartland's new office represents an extremely efficient and functional design,” says Graff. “It allows for open collaboration between the team members, but also provides the privacy necessary for many of the sensitive issues the organization deals with on a daily basis.”

Heartland is a human rights and services organization that helps people living in poverty or danger improve their lives. The group provides assistance with housing, healthcare, economic opportunities and the justice system. The Chicago-based group was founded in 1888.

ICG provided the construction services for the project and Baumann Studios was the architect. MB Real Estate's Andrew Davidson, executive vice president/managing director and David Burkards, senior vice president of the Corporate Services group represented Heartland in the lease negotiations earlier this year.
