Completion is scheduled for the third quarter of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new\">Out with the old, in with the new<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The former AT&amp;T campus, completed in 1989 at 2000 Center Drive, has been vacant since 2016. Inspired acquired the 150-acre, three-building property in 2019 in partnership with Triangle Capital Group for $21 million, according to CommercialEdge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon full build-out, the more than 1.6 million-square-foot Bell Works Chicagoland will include shared office spaces, outdoor spaces, a 30,000-square-foot fitness center, event and conference centers and an indoor piazza. Additionally, the development will provide build-to-suit opportunities. Inspired already leased 95 percent of the project\u2019s first phase, dubbed East Side, which totals 420,000 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Development partners include architecture firm Wight &amp; Co. and interior designer npz studio+.

The firm redeveloped the 2 million-square-foot Bell labs headquarters into a first-of-its-kind metroburb. That campus spans 475 acres and was acquired in 2013 for $27 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of this year, the firm acquired a 276,900-square-foot office building near that redevelopment, according to <em>Real Estate New Jersey<\/em>. Commvault is currently using the building as its headquarters and will remain a prominent tenant, occupying 75,000 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chicago-s-construction-activity-stalls\">Chicago\u2019s construction activity stalls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago\u2019s office development pipeline as of May was under 800,000 square feet, according to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/national-office-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CommercialEdge office report<\/a>.
