April 23, 2019 The months-long redevelopment of the former Sports Authority building in River North is about to move from base building renovations to interior work. Skender, serving as general contractor on behalf of Next Realty, is launching the interior renovation of the future eight-story, 80,000-square-foot Chicago headquarters of Spaces. The coworking brand, owned by IWG, will assume full occupancy on completion of the project, slated for September. It will accommodate as many as 500 users from companies of all sizes. Skender is collaborating with Atlanta-based architect WB Interiors, Loring Engineers, owner’s representative Himes Associates and Spaces’ owner IWG. The roof terrace, which Skender is also renovating, is being designed by local architect von Weise Associates. “Demand is strong for flexible workspaces in Chicago, and our new location gives the city’s talent pool a great place to work, outstanding amenities and membership to a thriving business community,” said IWG’s Michael Berretta.
