KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
Twenty years ago Chicago's historic Montgomery Ward catalog building was redeveloped into a tech destination known as 600 West Chicago. Now under Sterling Bay ownership, the building has again been transformed to meet the unique needs of today’s workforce, as every company has become a tech company. 600W boasts an expanded retail experience to serve both tenants and surrounding neighbors, modernized tenant amenities, updated interiors and a renewed focus on accessing the outdoors. Featuring sweeping floor plates and an exceptional location, the building is perched on the edge of the Chicago River within acres of riverfront land poised for redevelopment in the coming months and years.
Developers, investors, builders, innovators. We believe in developing both properties and relationships—and in doing so—we transform spaces, businesses and communities. We are Sterling Bay and this is just the beginning.
