CHICAGO—Business messaging platform Intercom is expanding its Chicago operations at 1330 W. Fulton St. here.

The San Francisco-based firm has signed a new 52,676-square-foot lease deal at the 290,000-square-foot building also known as Fulton West. Intercom will take over building owner Sterling Bay's current headquarters space, as the Chicago developer will move its headquarters to 333 N. Green Street in Fulton Market.

The deal represents a significant expansion for Intercom's Chicago office, which will nearly triple its space at the property completed in 2017 from 17,655 square feet.

Intercom was represented in the transaction by Kevin McLennan of CBRE, with Joy Jordan, Russ Cora and Gillian Keebler of Sterling Bay representing Sterling Bay.

Intercom has more than 600 employees across its San Francisco, Dublin, London, Sydney and Chicago offices. The firm established its first 4,800-square-foot office space in Chicago's Fulton Market District as a hub for customer support and sales operations in 2016. The company moved to its Fulton Market location in 2017. The new Chicago space will support the company's global expansion plans as it builds out its Chicago-based sales and support teams.

"We're very excited about our new space in Chicago, and to expand our operations in the city," says Eoghan McCabe, co-founder and CEO of Intercom. "We love the culture here and have had great success finding the type of people we love to work with."
