Teknion to Bid Farewell to the Merchandise Mart

You can now count Teknion among those contract furniture manufacturers departing the Merchandise Mart. Teknion will move from their 10th floor, Michael Vanderbyl designed space to a 22,000 sq ft space in the new SOM-designed building at 800 West Fulton Market, in Chicago’s hot Fulton Market District. The 19-story mixed-use building was developed with joint venture partners QuadReal and Thor Equities Group.

Aspen Dental will occupy nearly half of the building with 197,000 square feet of office space. The property will serve as Aspen Dental’s new national headquarters.

Knoll recently opened a new 24,000 sq ft showroom across the street in the new 811 West Fulton building. And, Herman Miller’s newly opened 45,000 sq ft showcase is at 1100 West Fulton Market, just a few blocks West.
